WWDC 2011 queue – live, just
7:26am and I’d like a nap right about now. Also, fingers getting too cold to type
Just got an invite from ars technica and idea flight to a party tonight. Assuming I can stay awake until 7:30pm :/
7:37am and the line is moving!
Thankful I put my thermal top on this
morning.
7:51 and am on the penultimate corner
That was Urban Airship with the coffee
7:56 spotted Aaron Hilleglass and some puff girls
Now 6 abreast on the pavement. Sorry, sidewalk. Abandoned lawn chairs sighted from those who were queuing since 2pm yesterday
Although I can now see the wireless network, I can’t connect
Apple people are in green
8:10 and we’re in the building. Queue is wrapped once around the block. Media feeding frenzy out front.
Coffee and doughnut FTW. Legs defrosting, phone is still cold. Sitting down. Music is playing.
Wifi is on. Network monitoring screens and screen saying say “there is no such thing as free public wifi”

Have been keeping company since 5am with author of Rogue Touch, being a port of the classic Rogue.

Now have a copy of MacTech, which is good as it has an article covering Capuccino and Objective-J which is pretty cool.

5 am and queue is more than halfway around the block. The guys at the corner have been here since 3:30 but there’s now a steady
Some guy just counted me as number 93. If so I could probably have slept in for another 3000 places or so…
