Minneapolis

In said burgh for the 62nd IETF meeting... this being the place at which the folk concerned with putting bits on the wire argue over the order in which those bits shall be sent... And the place at which some of us folk who don't so much actually mess with the bits as mess with crypto primitives also show up, to suggest to the people building the packets how to use said primitives wisely on the wire.

No, I've no idea why it's in Minneapolis. But it is.

So far, all I know about Minneapolis is: (i) it's in Minnesota, and (ii) if your flight was around dinnertime, and you don't get around to eating due to this and other obligations, this can be trouble--as it's apparently rather difficult to get food delivered in Minneapolis after midnight.

(Crosses fingers that the pizza he ordered finds its way to his hotel room, preferably before he wastes away from hunger...)
