Meeting Bertrand
Foplings,
On Monday last, the 5th, Jenni and I met Bertrand for coffee at Mt
Coot-tha, one of the surface irregularities of Brisbane dignified with
the name Mountain. It does, however, offer a wonderful view of much of
the city and surrounds. Bertrand and family were preparing to depart
for a drive up the coast to Cairns, with spot of whale-watching at
Hervey Bay.
It was peculiarly exciting to meet face-to-face one of my FOP
colleagues, and underlines what a strange work environment we inhabit.
Here's to good, cheap hypersonic travel.

It has the same problems as e-mail when it comes to interpreting
messages. I'm using ICQ and MSN a lot, but that's not what I'm after
here.

That's very good news. Where did you hear that?

What about IRC?
And it looks like there will be an ApacheCon Europe .. in 2005 in Stuttgart.

So far, I've met Bertrand and Jörg. No surprise as they live within about
120km of my place. :-) It's really interesting what difference it makes
to have someone directly in front of you. Too bad, Skype still doesn't
have video conferencing support. Anyone already using a video conference
application? Hardware and bandwidth available here. That would be a good
work-around until we have cheap hypersonic travel. Still hoping for
"beaming" to become available....
