After a long day of seminars and presenting two of them myself, it was getting late in the day and I was starting to seriously think about getting some dinner.  Many of those folks that I talked to late in the afternoon were looking forward to making some plans for dinner too.  But we still had one more thing on the schedule with Professor Jam and Dr. Drax hosting an “open mic” style question and answer session for whatever was foremost on people’s minds.  But with things winding down in the Tricerasoft room as well, a growing group of us were looking forward to getting our party on!  (more…)

The next day - Monday - was looking like it was going to be quite a busy day.  The schedule had seminars lined up all day long and going into the evening hours and the plan was for everyone to get together after dinner for the big party.  Also during the course of the afternoon, Tricerasoft was going to be conducting a workshop for all those folks who chose to learn all the ins and outs of Swift Elite.  Of course there was also plenty of time scheduled for all of us to break for lunch and again for dinner too.

The other day I bumped into a friend who I have not seen for a very long time.  We exchanged the usual pleasantries, filled in each other ever so briefly on what we have been doing with our lives for the past 20 some odd years and talked about some great memories.  During the course of the conversation he tells me that he is a DJ now and having the time of his life “making good money” as he put it.  Of course he also mentions that he is using cutting edge technology (a laptop) and has all this music that he got “off the Internet” (MP3s).  When I asked him what program he was using he gave me this puzzled look and said…  (more…)
