Seems like every year a good chunk of the con ends up sick. Never been able to figure out if its that stale casino air, too much partying, or hanging around germ infested hackers. Probably some combination of all three. I seem to be doing well so far, but Evil is very sick

Re: Who's got the crud?
I have it. Can I trade it for something else? -
Re: Who's got the crud?
Ya, use it to its fullest. Head on down to the local headquarters for the political party you like the least and shake a lot of hands, offer to lick envelopes, go door to door, etc. Or spend time hanging out in the offices of co-workers you dont like.

The guy who said that is out sick today. I've been sick as a dog and this "lovely" Florida humidity isn't helping out a lot.Our motto:

Re: Who's got the crud?
somehow I managed to survive both Comic-Con and Defcon this year without getting the crud. I think it's because I never spent long on an airplane - long flights always leave me sickly. I also took time out for naps so as to not stay exhausted for too long, that seems to have helped:)Stypica - The Autonimous Tominus

Re: Who's got the crud?
I've got a weird kind of sore throat thing coming back from Defcon. Maybe its just a coincidence. It seems to be getting better, I think it might be from talking too much... but I don't think I talked during the con more than I would any other day.Comment

Re: Who's got the crud?
I'm fine (aside from losing my voice as I do every year) but I am currently traveling with xaphan (work trip) and he is sick as a dog.perl -e 'print pack(c5, (41*2), sqrt(7056), (unpack(c,H)-2), oct(115), 10)'Comment

Re: Who's got the crud?
Well, at least we are sure that anyone who was in the pool is probably fine from the amount of chlorine and who knows what on them from it. I think I lost a layer of skin in there from the chemicals.

Re: Who's got the crud?
I felt pretty low Monday night, and took Tuesday off for a sick/mental health day. Not feeling too bad today, but sitting right next to the data center keeps all the nastiness chilled and less potent, at least I hope so.Aut disce aut discedeComment

Re: Who's got the crud?
I'm not sick, but I did break out in an itchy rash on the last day. Seems to be an allergic reaction to something. Taking antihistamines stops the itching, but it's really annoying.

Re: Who's got the crud?
while i'm not down with the sickness, i seemed to be battling a small dose of Con Cough the entire weekend. all told, i'm happy that it was merely that, guess i was kissing all the right people and none of the wrong ones since i kept my health a bit more in line this year than in the past."I'll admit I had an OiNK account and frequented it quite often… What made OiNK a great place was that it was like the world's greatest record store… iTunes kind of feels like Sam Goody to me. I don't feel cool when I go there. I'm tired of seeing John Mayer's face pop up. I feel like I'm being hustled when I visit there, and I don't think their product is that great. DRM, low bit rate, etc... OiNK it existed because it filled a void of what people want."

Re: Who's got the crud?
Other years I've never gotten sick. Seems inuitive like hotels shouldn't be hives of disease, or we'd see weird outbreaks like with the cruiseliners a few years ago. Maybe its just a combo of sleep deprivation and alcohol weakening the immune system plus proximity to others doing the same.Comment
