Monday at the FoxPro DevCon, and no sessions to give today. Had a great day, and made it to a session every slot, sometimes two or three.

Sunday morning was spent presenting “Introduction to Visual FoxPro?,” a four-part, four-hour brain dump of everything I’ve learned in fifteen years of developing with Fox products. Pretty challenging session.
Spent the afternoon catching up with friends, beach-combing, and body surfing the really nice surf. Not a bad day.

Spent the day travelling to Fort Lauderdale for the conference. While the travelling wasn’t too bad, there was a very frustrating moment. I spent an hour-and-a-half in the Delta check-in lines, and was then told I could not check my luggage. As a result, I was forced to surrender a precious pocket knife, a 20-year-old Navy souvenir, at the security checkpoint. I was, and still am, pretty angry.

Microsoft opened up their “Office of the Future” exhibit and got this less than enthusiastic review in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
“One concept not addressed is the bugs, unnecessary or hidden features and overly complicated products Microsoft has already introduced into the market.”

Fun meeting last night. A great exchange of opinions and views.
Fortune magazine is coming to the conclusion that “ It turns out that the Linux doubters were wrong.” Interesting to read in a mainline publication. And in the same issue, a second columnist concludes “Sure, corporations could save millions by replacing all their Microsoft desktop licenses, but it’s doubtful the cost savings merit the hassle factor.” Wow. I wonder how it will all turn out.

Wednesday. The FoxPro? group in Boston meets tonight, and I will be on a panel with former fellow employees Chad Gronbach and Andy Kelly. Should be fun.
