Work, work, work....

I'm going to break my rules again - hey, I made them up! - and so write a single post for today and yesterday.  That's because today I attended an important software conference where my friend Phillip gave a talk, and yesterday I spent much of the day with helping him to prepare it.  Therefore, I don't have a lot to relate for this blog, except that the talk was well-received and we made some very interesting contacts.  One of these was from New York, and I'll be following up when I return home.
