Dan is in Washington DC for a few days to attend an in-depth training seminar about SharePoint Search. I only just missed getting to go on this trip b/c I am already out of the office for 2 weeks for a conference (and vacation) of my own starting next week.
Dan gets to the airport and makes it up to DC from Atlanta in a mere 80 minutes. Very quick. A LONG cab ride later ($55 mind you) and he's deposited at his bright, cheery, snow-covered hotel. At least, that's what should be there. Instead he's greeted by the site of a dark, hulking behemoth of a snow covered building. Dark and hulking because the power is out in a six block radius. So Dan's currently sitting in the bar, illuminated by glow sticks and the light of his laptop screen (only 40% left in the battery). He's using his cellphone as a modem to tell me all of this. And to force me to look up the local power company and whatnot.
Anyway - here's Dan's predicament
