It streamlines the wordpress user registration loop, and aims to do it seamlessly in the context of the [...]
I thought I had lost it forever, evidenced by its unpresence in my luggage. I searched high and low, and backtracked its travels across the prior states. I spoke to those recently seen, searching for timestamps and proof.

Today appeared to be the day of meeting more forum folks.
Rob and I made an early start of things, getting to the con about 8:30. We went straight to the MegaGear booth to get a Fred sketch, and have him sign my CG print.

Hotel had a complementary breakfast, which was nice, if insubstantial.
Some half hour of wait time in the pre-reg line before obtaining our badges. We thought it would be much longer of a wait, but the line moved quick. Soon enough, we were blessed with the crisp cold conditioned air of the Baltimore Convention Center.
