Next week sees Belgium's own blogging awards event, the Bwards.
Of course, I'm going, so I'm pimping the laptop for optimal interactivity. What I've been installing so far:
Royale Noir Theme (unfortunately, I'll be on an XP notebook)
Firefox (no way I'm using IE - ever!)
Some addons (Foxdie theme, Greader Notifier, etc.)
Cool wallpaper (thanks to Joe who made me resized version of his coffee bean)
AIR + Snitter (for twittering, obviously)
Pidgin
Flickr Uploader (so I can snap some pics and upload straightaway)
GMail Notifier (I'm not gonna bother configuring Outlook for Gmail IMAP)
So, what am I missing to be the ultimate digital nomad?
What else can't you live without while being on the road, at events or conferences?

Gosh, it sounds like you've got it covered. A good media player maybe (I really like J. River Media Center)? I can't think of anything else right now.
Thanks for the shout out :)

I covered my conference blogging troubles and solutions in a post titled More Tips for Conference Blogging
Enjoy the Bwards! I am preparing for the Dutch Bloggies awards in a few weeks. It will be a slightly different post though since I've been asked to be a jury member. I spent the past few weeks looking at hundreds of unknown Dutch blogs and discovered some new beauties. Excellent.

Thanks for that. That post and the others mentioned sure make some good points. Excellent reminders.
Also, I'll probably try and track the Dutch blog awards to some extent. I'm looking forward to see who wins and who you think is worthwhile. Make sure you get us a list of blogging goodness we need to check out.
