.. we're here to confuse you.

I'm trying to do some research on Foster City in preparation for my interview with them on the 23rd. Their website is a bloody mess. Even the simplest of things is hard to find, like the name of the mayor. Admittedly, it is full of things that residents might be interested in, but for outsiders not curious about the permits needed to add a skylight to their home, the site is frustrating.

Along with that, the person I spoke with on the phone assured me that I could file my application online. So far, I haven't found that option.

Grrr.

In other news, My trip to Oregon for Orycon is looking more solid. I'll be taking Greyhound up to save money. 16 hours on a bus. Whee

Re: getting to Orycon, you might want to see if someone local is driving up, then offer to help with gas. It'd probably be faster, cheaper, and more pleasant than Greyhound.

16 hours on a Greyhound bus isn't too bad (at least not to someone who rode Greyhound 48 hours each way to BayCon 2000... ;-).

Enjoy the con, Doug. You deserve it. (Of course, I've always believed that nearly _everybody_ deserves a con or two every once in a while....)
