Printer-yness

[danaeris.livejournal.com]

One last favour to ask of you-all...

Is anyone with access to free printing going to be at their printer before they leave for BaitCon? I have a number of journal articles I need to read for an essay due Monday, but I have no access to a printer.

Current MIT students/athena users might be good candidates.

Alternatively, if anyone will have access to electric power (i.e. can charge my laptop overnight for me so that I can get a charge's worth of reading done each day), or a palm pilot I can use that reads PDFs and has a long-lasting battery life, this could work as well. :)

(I know, I know, tooling while at Baitcon is Wrong, but I have to get this done)

Tooling at baitcon is right.

i remember a long baitcon ago, on a 486 subnote, writing a throwaway C program, while sitting on a rock, in the old stream. cuz i could :)

i imagine more than one person will have a car inverter for you to use. as well, some cars, like the matrix, have 120 v outlets ;)

there's power in the dining hall building.
I'd bring an extension cord or a power strip just in case. (Before anyone jumps in: extension cords cannot be run to other locations, but you might need to share the outlet).

I'm not sure tooling is more wrong than reading the brand new Harry Potter book, which happened last year.

There's power there (a couple of generators to run the lights, freezers etc). Also, I always go to this sort of thing with batteries and inverters. More than enough to charge a laptop a couple of times. Baitcon is only two nights so my battery supply will be excessive for my needs.
