I hate to see the party end, but I’m not sure I could have taken much more. The closing session was great, and featured a professional magician. Very fun.

Had a nice quiet lunch with a few friends afterwards, and started the long trek home. We were hours and hours early to the airport, as I’ve been traumatized enough being late, and had no reserves to deal with it this time. Flight was uneventful, the Logan Express showed up promptly, and the drive home went quickly. But it was still a little after midnight before we pulled into the driveway. It will be a quiet day tomorrow.

I’m done. No more speaking for me. Yay! Got to attend some good sessions, and had a fun dinner out at the Water Street Brewery with Laura, Mac and Ceil, Tamar, Doug, Gary and Bonnie.

At the GLGDW conference. I did a three-hour “Introduction to Visual FoxPro?” pre-conference session. Thought it was very well-received. Talked as fast as I could the entire time with only one ten-minute break.

Ken Levy did a great keynote, 45 minutes long. Way to go!

Had the afternoon free to attend sessions. Spent the last session and break working with Mac Rubel troubleshooting his Web Services configuration. Rick Strahl solved the problem almost instantaneously by having him switch from an ISAPI to an ASP listener. Doh! We wasted three hours, but Mac was gracious enough to treat for dinner after the late night session.

At that session, a number of the speakers featured their favorite VFP 8.0 feature. They had two speakers up at once, switching the video connection on the fly, Very smoothly and quickly done. Good session.

Late in the evening last night, I got the mailto handler to behave properly in XP. Took rooting around in the registry to clean it all up. I suspect I compounded the problem along the way, but the bottom line is that Mozilla installed incorrectly, too.

Microsoft “scraps” the plans for “Longhorn,” the follow-up server to the .NET Server now tentatively expected in 2003, and instead asks clients to wait for “Blackcomb” which will feature the oft-touted “Yukon” technology. Confused, yet?

William Safire says “You are a Suspect,” if the Homeland Security Bill passes as is. Chilling.

Preparation for WhilFest move up a notch into the frantic category as I discover that the native mailto handler for Windows XP is unlike those in earlier versions. Problems getting Netscape mail to properly handle the parameters passed from IE, although they work fine from Mozilla.

Wild weather. They are predicting 70 degrees Fahrenheit and possibly thunderstorms this afternoon. A week after we shoveled snow off the driveway, this is unseasonable to say the least.
