Joe, Mihails and I will be there in a few hours, and we'll have a car. 2015-05-22 17:04 GMT-07:00 David Nadlinger via Digitalmars-d-announce digitalmars-d-announce@puremagic.com: On Friday, 22 May 2015 at 13:12:35 UTC, Daniel Murphy wrote: Steven Schveighoffer wrote in message news:mjkncd$21e7$1...@digitalmars.com...

Anyone from the area know whether it's worth having a car there or should I just book a shuttle to/from the airport? The Salt Lake and Utah county areas are a bit of a sprawl but our public transit is one of the better in the United States. Went the shuttle route. If anyone interested, it's $68 round trip ($34 each way) to Orem via http://www.expressshuttleutah.com/ Roundtrip lightrail/train (TRAX/Frontrunner) from the airport to Orem's Hampton Inn is $11, I believe. Doesn't work for me I think because of the late arrival time (10 pm), thanks for the info though. BTW, my first dconf, I tried public transportation in San Francisco. Got to my hotel after 2 hours of bus/train for what is about a 30 minute drive. Only cost me $7 though! I like the shuttle idea :) BTW, I will stress again that I'm going to be at the hotel all day Tuesday (and without a car) if anyone is interested in hanging out :) -Steve

Producing a broadcast-quality, stable real-time video stream is no piece of cake, especially when you are doing it for the first time. Then again, setting up a laptop to push a crappy webcam stream to Twitch or YouTube Live should be easy enough, at least if the university LAN is well-designed enough to provide a half-decent uplink. — David
