COJUG, etc.
Today’s presentations at COJUG went quite well. I had good feedback and great questions from both the lunchtime and evening meetings. The group is run by Christopher Judd, a well known Java consultant and author.
This morning on the way to breakfast I noticed lots of police cars and news vans which is usually a sign of bad things. Sure enough, I watched a bit of the local news and saw this story about some dude that tried to rob the 5/3rd bank that’s across the street from my hotel. Fortunately it appears that nobody was hurt (and the robber got nothing for his efforts.)
And for my final tangent of the evening, I recently subscribed to the Fake Steve Jobs blog and have been laughing ever since. Some of his stuff, this in particular, is positively hilarious. I’ll definitely keep this in the RSS reader.
