scale talk etc
November 22, 2003
Well… Just got done talking at SCALE. It just made me wish even more that I wasn’t missing a day of the summit. Ah well, its important to respect your commitments, right? Felt isolated, didn’t know anybody. Talk went well, I feel, though of course I was speaking on a pretty controversial topic (or at least my premise was controversial). *shrug* Anyway, it sucked to get off the plane, find no-one there (my bad, I stupidly assumed I would be met) pay for a shuttle to the convention center… Hang around not knowing anybody for 4 hours (on 4 hrs sleep, mind you), give a stressful talk wherein half the questions were either complaints about things I can’t change or age-old annoying rants (some very good comments/questions too tho), and then watch everybody leave the expo and make my back to the airport alone….(actually, on the bus to the airport now 😉
oh, one thing positive that came out of this was I learned how invaluable having wireless internet connectivity is for getting info in strange situations. Id be at my wits end now w/o a cell phone (and inet was icing on the cake).
the past is behind me…. New York Ho (hm, make that “ny bound”)
