I had a great dinner tonight. I finally got to meet John “iunknown” Lam and got to have some great conversations about Code Generation, Ruby, Source Control, and so on. Of the people I knew, at dinner there was John, Scott Hanselman, Jason Mauer, Cory Isakson and a few others whose names escape me right now (have I told you that I’m *really* bad with names?). On the bus ride home I got to meet SqlDiva, DonXML’s wife (at least, that’s what she said 
(I hope I got the link right)). Mauer and I were having a pseudo-philosophical conversation about static vs. dynamic languages, writing code, etc. and DonXML’s wife said that I really need to have a chat with (or at least introduce myself to) DonXML because he would have loved to be part of the conversation Mauer and I were having. Well, I’ll have to see if I can arrange a meeting tomorrow (as in tracking down one person in the entire conference ).
I’m too tired to type much else about the conference today. I got some work done on the Managed DirectX tutorials I’m doing. I also got some more practice on emacs (yes, you heard me right, emacs (I need a good platform for developing Ruby with)). More to come in the future.
