Still in Denver

I’m still in the Denver airport. Luckily the wifi here is free (or at least I’ve not been prompted to pay for it). So far I’ve watched three more episodes of the Tick (I’ve got all three seasons on DVD) and continued to play with building a useful Central application. I’ve decided that whatever I build has to be something …

Heading Home

After a night at Naked last night I’m feeling pretty tired. Slept in this morning and then ate lunch with Todd at CPK then headed to the airport. Long story short right now I’m in Denver waiting to hopefully get on a flight to KC. Because of the weather I got to Denver after my original flight was scheduled to …

Get to your sessions early

So the keynote ran about 20 minutes long which delayed a lot of people in getting to the first session. As a User Group manager we were sitting in the first 5 rows, which made leaving early absolutely impossible. About 25 people who had preregistered for a CSS Navigation session got closed out because “the session is full and has …

Finally in SLC

I’m finally settled into my room at the Wyndham and connected to the internet. I’m not sure how I’ll kill the afternoon before the MMUG gathering at Squatters tonight. I ate lunch at the Lion House Pantry and must say it was quite good (and a good deal). The entree/sides were good, but nothing slecial — although for salmon and …

Ready to GO

So I think I’ve got everything I need packed. I’ll be getting up at about 4am to drive to Kansas City for my flight. I regret not having written anything about the MAX Central application yet. Perhaps I’ll do it while waiting in the Denver airport. I’m planning to attend the MMUG session at Squatters tomorrow night. Anybody else?

DS208W

Okay, I’m disappointed. I downloaded all of the files that are in the related information for this session and they didn’t work. Some more research showed that they didn’t work because I’m using a Mac and the scripts are IE specific. I get JavaScript errors galore in the Mozilla js console. Even on Windows. HELLO!?! The title of this session …

MAX Materials

So I downloaded and printed the MAX materials today. Between the slow Flash Paper printing and the shoddy DSL line at my office it took over 2 hours to complete. Having access to the materials before hand is great, although it would be nice if Macromedia were able to make sure all the presentations had materials. I hope all of …

MAX

Next week should be fairly exciting. I’ll be attending the MAX the 2003 Macromedia Conference. This thing has been through so many names I still want to call it UCON or DEVCON. Last year was the first year in a long time that I skipped the conference (Disney World was too blasted expensive). This year I’m glad to be attending …

Mizzou beats Nebraska 41-24

This isn’t at all food related, but I couldn’t resist writing about tonight’s MU smackdown of a football game against the undefeated Nebraska Cornhuskers. Tonight MU took a rainy Faurot field against the 10th ranked Nebraska for a sold-out crowd. After an average performance in the first half and a sad third quarter the Tigers had an amazing fourth quarter. …

Vegas Baby

I spent about 24 hours in Vegas this week for work (flew out Wednesday, back on Thursday). I lament that my awareness of budget didn’t allow for a tasting menu at Aureole or Renoir, but nearly $200 for dinner and wine was just too expensive for a meal eaten alone. I opted for the buffet at the Bellagio. Not haute …

Leftovers from the ideal Summer meal

Last night I roasted a chicken on the grill. It was the start of the perfect summer meal. I will admin that I cannot place a probe thermometer in a chicken so that it accurately reads the temperature of the thigh. It always seems to reach 160 degrees long before the bird is actually done. In this case it took …
