Things go mostly well - Still in Boston
Mar. 5th, 2008 12:56 pmYesterday was saddened by the loss of Gary Gygax. He helped to change the world while having fun, which is something we can all hope to do, I expect.
The drupal convention was good. I learned a bit more about this or that - unlike the Monday schedule, Tuesday was packed with various panels I wanted to sit in on, especially the one where we got to 'brag' on how well we did with the Popular Science website. ^_^ I didn't have to sit up front, but I did get to insert my comments from time to time as items came up for me to clarify. Very satisfying, that.
That evening I got a call from Eredien - sorry, I'm no good at using the livejournal tagging thingy, but she's on livejournal. She was interested in meeting up with me while I was in town, so we worked out a metro stop I could head to and meet her at. We met up, had sushi with her lovely fiance, and had a good time chatting about this and that and the other geeky subjects. It was rainy, but happily I had thought to pack a tiny umbrella in Denver, and it fit nicely inside of the giveaway bag that they'd given to the registrees.
After that I made my way home on the metro, and enjoyed a little WoW with my wife. Yay!
This morning's gone well - an inspiring talk on doing unit and functional tests in Drupal, followed up with a bit of info from a dude from MySQL, and a very satisfying hamburger shared over discussion of database migration problems. Right now I'm on the show floor of our 'big sister' convention, the AIIM International Exposition & Conference, using one of their internet cafe computers. The wireless is very spotty and unreliable with so many rabid geeks wandering the halls with laptops, so this is the best way for me to keep in touch with everyone.
Good day!
