In the Queue
(More WWDC posting). I'm sitting in the line to get into the auditorium for Steve Job's keynote address. The Keynote is at 10am. The doors open at 9am. I got here a bit after 8am, and the line was already a long, sinuous beast that snakes around the second floor of Moscone West. The keynote is on the currently-forbidden-to-mortals 3rd floor.
They're treating the developer community nicely. On registration, I received my t-shirt and a very swank (if large) carrying case that will replace my combination of slim laptop case and messenger bag for the duration of WWDC. Airport network is a bit slow and somewhat overloaded - but free net access versus $10/day from the hotel is verra nice. And free breakfast - tables loaded with fruit, yogurt, pastries, bagels, and even Krispy Kremes are scattered about the 2nd floor.
The natives seem to be getting restless. It's 9am - soon they'll start letting us upstairs, and we can sit in chairs and wait rather than sit on the floor and wait. Heh. Better get one more coffee refill...
