 I'm in Omaha at HDC '07

17. October 2007

Just checked into my room in Council Bluffs getting ready for the Heartland Developers Conference 2007 at the Qwest Center in Omaha. It's tough because I can see all the casino's straight out my window and I'd love to go play some one dollar video poker - I usually do pretty well on those machines.  I can't though 'cause I gotta get up pretty early.

This trip has been strangely funny so far. On the way up my boss and I were trying to figure out where we should eat. I suggested Braeda but I couldn't remember where they are in Lincoln so I called my sister..and we ended up eating with her and her friend at the Watering Hole downtown on O Street. It was a HOLE alright. There was a band-aid and gum stuck on the wall next to me, and a dirty napkin on the arcade game across from me! LMAO! Then there was pre-party at the Qwest so we stopped to check that out. It was about like you would imagine - a bunch of male programmers talking about Star Wars and trying to hack the network - just kidding. It was lame though.

Tomorrow I am eating breakfast at the Qwest and Ron Jacobs is giving the opening Keynote: "The Perfect Pattern Storm, where TDD meets UX and MVP".  Don't ask me either 'cause I have no clue what that means! The session I am most excited about tomoroow is one by David Silverlight (Silverlight's nameake) giving a real world intro to Micrsoft's Silverlight.

I' probably make another post tomorrow sometime summarizing the events of the day, even though no one really gives a rats ass!! Tongue out
