I just presented Blackstone to CFUN. The only adjective that I think adequately describes the atmosphere in the room is "intense". I was given 40+ minutes to talk and so had to scale back the content and also talk and demo really quickly. The crowd of over 500 loved everything they saw, spontaneous...
I am still planning to take the Blackstone tour to Europe (and probably Asia too), but it won't be the week of July 12th as originally planned. The reasons for the change are: A) Summer attendance will not be as good as we'd like, B) I really need a break from this, I am now in the middle of my 5th...
I am in LAX waiting for a redeye home, having just wrapped week 4 of my user group tour. The San Francisco and Orange Country presentations both went very well, although neither group unseated Kansas City which still holds the attendance record. I'll post pictures when I am on a faster connection....
I've been using my GPRS modem all over the U.S. for several months now, with varying results (both as far as connection reliability and speed). And nowhere has it worked as well as it working today all over the greater Los Angeles area. I'd not (yet) recommend GPRS connections for the masses, but...
I spoke to the user group in Sacramento last night (flight delays meant that I was cutting it close, but I did make it, and on time too). Another great presentation, and once again I did not get through all of my content because there were so many questions and comments. Some folks drove 200+ miles...
I should have been in Sacramento by now, but nope, I am in PDX (the airport in Portland). First a cancelled flight, then a mechanical delay, and now just waiting. Not very good data connections here, thankfully I have my GPRS card (although GSM/GPRS coverage here is rather weak). I have 4 1/2...
BMW and Apple have partnered so that you may "iPod Your BMW" (see http://www.ipodyourbmw.com/). Full pages ads in USA Today and elsewhere are heralding this marriage as "total driving control meets total tune control", and lots of folks are mega-excited over it. I may be missing something here, but...
I presented Blackstone to the user group in Portland, OR, this evening. It's been quite a while since I was last in Portland, I don't remember it being so hot here! I had to make lots of last minute demo changes because I installed a new product build and stuff changed (I like living dangerously)....
No tie for me. And no socks. And no tools, either. My kids have been well trained, they gave me Lego (3 planes, the Sopwith Camel, the Red Baron, and the Wright Flyer). Sweet! :-)
Last week I asked for feedback on the necessity for Blackstone reporting to support RTF (a file format primarily used with Microsoft Word). There were over 40 responses to that entry (and some even agreed with each other). To summarize the responses ... Those that want RTF support do so primarily...
