On Location: Los Angeles, CA

I'm staying at a hotel that's too expensive (the Orlando), doing too little to justify my presence here. If you've guessed that I'm chasing bugs, you're right. My job in this case is to wait and watch and hope something breaks so I can figure out why.

For some reason, I feel more jet-lagged than usual.

I'm on foot most of the time; one reason this hotel was selected is because of its proximity to the customer site. That's all relative, really, but it still beats driving, and for all that I flinch at how much the valet parking costs, I'd rather not have more parking bills to add to that. Walking isn't a big deal, but I'm toting a heavy-ass laptop bag with me, which only emphasises the fact that I should really visit a chiropractor.

Breakfast and lunch at two restaurants nearby: Who's On Third, and Mika Sushi. The former is an artsy little cafe, which I recommend. The latter is a generic sushi place that was...enh, adequate.

Not much to report yet, though I hope to fix that. With good luck, I should be able to make it up to the observatory at Mt. Wilson.
