United flight credit

Fellow TWUers, here is the link to the simple form to get your flight credit. https://www.mileageplus.com/mp/retro/retroForm.do?userAction=loadForm

To fill out this form, you will need the email that Kenyia sent you and ALSO your boarding pass. I believe that if you have tossed out your boarding pass, Kenyia can send you the important number from it which the form requires... but I'm not sure.

Also, "You must allow 3 days after travel is completed on a United or United Express flight before submitting your request for Mileage Plus credit." And you have to wait like two weeks after the completion of your Lufthansa flight. So in other words don't even bother until Jan 15 or so. (I just now learned this.)

Airport thoughts

I'm sitting in an airport (again, still always) and am researching two things:
  1. Drinking water test kits
    Conclusion: If you want to test more than one thing, it gets damn expensive. There must be a better way. It may be time to buy some agar and petri dishes, because it really is just that simple.
  2. Arduino projects for non-newbs
    Conclusion: there are a lot of newbs. Also, I need to figure out what I actually want to do with this thing. Ideas: door-opener sensor. Robot (of course) that moves around in my apartment and puts my roommate's pets back where they belong. Alternately, squirts them with water. ...that might be a little complicated for a first project.
Not having much luck yet with either, but it's early times yet.

Soon I'll work on the code test that I'm writing in C#, which I don't know.

Midway airport (MDW, Chicago) Southwest terminal has no pornoscanners and no patdowns. They also didn't see fit to ask me about the two large containers of JB-weld in my carryon.
