I arrived in town this morning. After clearing some eMail I visited the RAI Center. It's a few years since I visited the RAI but I'd forgotten how HUGE it is. It took me some time to find someone who could let me in. I spent the afternoon in the keynote Read More...

MDC Australia, here I come

Posted Sunday, April 18, 2004 2:11 AM by jamespr
I arrived in Australia this morning after a grueling 14 hour flight from San Francisco. I say grueling, to be honest it wasn't that bad as I managed to sleep through 11 hours of it. Add that to the two hours I got on the way down from Seattle and I think Read More...

MDC Comes Together

Posted Tuesday, March 23, 2004 9:20 PM by jamespr
I've been on site all day today and I'll be honest ... I'm not exactly sure where all the time went. At this stage it's a case of making sure that everything is where it's supposed to be, that all the speakers know where they're supposed to be when etc Read More...
