- We were concerned Day 2 would be overfull, or empty. It was neither, most of the rooms were filled to capacity, and all sessions had enough people to have a good discussion. How does stuff like that happen? I wish I knew! We were also concerned that the wrong kind of people would show for Day 2, but again, we worried without any need to. |

Matsch (Oct 06 2003 20:58 GMT) - Mr.P´s Affinität zu Matsch, ist in etwa so groß wie die von Kühen zum Schlachthaus. Die geneigte Bedieneinheit hat das zu berücksichtigen und wird bei Mißachtung dieses Natusgesetzes vor kleine Denksportaufgaben gestellt. Schließlich regnet es nach diesem trockenen Sommer nun schon einige Tage, und der Paddock- von dem ich heute Morgen schon berichtete- hat sich zumindest im Eingangsbereich in einen kleinen Matchpool verwandelt. Diesen für menschliche Schuhe unschönen Zustand kann Frau umgehen, indem sie Pferd direkt vor dem Paddock vom Strick losbindet und ihm einen aufmunternden Klaps auf das Hinterteil gibt: |

The Mob (Oct 06 2003 20:57 GMT) - Sadly I can't find where I read that some 20th century sociologist divided the world into three parts: the elites, the mob, and the masses. The elites are those who transparently have great power: kings, monopolists, olograrchs, leaders of powerful political parties, mayors, senators, etc. etc - e. |

- This site give you a way to generate ActionScript code to create great graphics on the fly. From the site: AsDraw allows you to draw graphics using actionscript rather than embedding them in the swf. This gives you runtime control over the graphic data, something you don't normally have with swf. This is a sort of add-on to a tool called the Rich Media Builder - which seems to be the Flash equivalent of a winamp visualization builder... |

- So I was up in Vail working through a breakout session (with a mild hangover from the night before) when my dad calls. "I can't get to Google. I can get to a bunch of other sites, but I can't seem to get to Google? Did you mess up my networking?" He asked this last bit because when he was at my house I had to tweak his wireless to get him on my network. |
