The Second Century

This entry is my 101st since starting this blog! As if anyone cares!

I survived the big DARCA conference. It was both well-attended and well-received, and nothing went too horribly wrong. Just the standard stuff - some minor audio (microphone) problems and a speaker who very rudely exceeded his allotted time (after being flashed repeated signals, he publicly admitted that he'd been asked to stop but then CONTINUED TO TALK ANYWAY.) The fun thing about being in charge is that I get to secretly blacklist such people. Wielding supreme executive power - it's a good thing.

I collapsed on the couch yesterday evening and drank two beers. I feel very refreshed this morning.

One of our conference attendees was a knitter, and she very boldly knitted during most of our presentations. She was a good knitter, too - continental style - younger than me, and knitting some very fun stuff (one of those baby hats shaped like a raspberry, etc.) We talked about how knitting actually increases your attentiveness at these kinds of affairs. She gave me the inspiration to bring along my knitting to the conference I'll be attending next week.

Say hey for survival! And for supreme executive power!
