Being checkin day, there wasn’t a lot of structure to Tuesday, other than the run out to Sweet Tomatoes for dinner. Yum. Still, there was a lot going on, as most attendees got moved into their rooms, with the exception of a few stragglers that haven’t arrived yet.This is my first year at KFest since the switch to Rockhurst University, and I have to say that for the most part, it’s a change for the better. I do miss the loop formation of the rooms, rather than the straight-shot line we have here, but otherwise everything seems nicer.

With one exception: at the moment, our network access is severely limited. Only ports 110 (POP), 80 (HTTP), and 443 (HTTPS) are open. Which means no iChat (although we did realize finally we can tell iChat to use port 80), no telnet, no FTP, etc. That’s really, really painful.

We’ll be talking to them this morning to see if they can ease up on us some. Here’s hoping…
