It didn't work too bad. Does anyone know why it was pretty much over at 9:30, when they said it would start? Did they start a half-hour early or something?
I think that was just the ceremony for handing out the last /8s and it went very quickly. The press conference starts at 10:00.
It definitely started at 9:30, and it was very short. Boring actually. But that's the way it should have been. Not like this was a surprise. Even the reporter from ZDNet asked "since we gave out the last 2 to APNIC last week, why is this day important?" If ZDNet gets it, NANOG (actually *NOG) members should as well. That said, I guess just like when any long time friend leaves us, we should have a ceremony to mark the passing. -- TTFN, patrick
