Geek Dinner
I won't have time to write about this as fully as I want to for a good number of days, because I was woken at dawn to attend to the lament of a friend who got pistol-whipped and robbed, and I still have to work two shifts today, with a noon deadline on one of my assignments. For now, all I will say was that the Geek Dinner last night really was a geek dinner. The company was excellent. I had the privilege of sitting next to probably the only guy there who could have a real appreciation of the application development platform on which I work. I felt so relaxed. Jonathan, thank-you for everything, again — for the travel arrangements, for the choice of music in the car, and for your excellent company. Henk, you were an evil child. I love the motivation, though. And I learned (with ample empirical proof to follow in a later blog entry), why true geeks are born, not made.
