AUC End of Day One Report

The trip went well, made pretty good time for having heavy rains from eastern Illinois onward. Did a fair amount of cellphone data service usage during the travel time, since I was not driving. One word for coverage along interstates between here and there; spotty. Still, it was pretty cool to make Twitter updates via texting.

Turns out Internet access was better on the road than at the hotel. From the time a laptop was setup and tried, around 5pm local time, until 11pm-ish, Internet access was not available. Whatever amount of bandwidth this hotel has, it is not enough to address prime time needs.

But, Dr. Bob and I have looked over the session schedules for Tuesday and Wednesday, and will split up to ensure we cover as many of the tracks and topics as possible. I'll keep going with the Twitters during the day, and make another report Tuesday night. Hopefully not this late. :)
