I think my brain has melted and poured out of my ears. This week my boss sent me to an event hosted by IBM for a software product we use at work. There were presentations about new software products and tutorials for existing ones, and a chance to network with other programmers and IBM partners.
I’m really glad I went, because I have found out a lot of interesting stuff about new products, training courses, and tips and tricks that could help me at work. I have also made some useful contacts. Another cool thing about these events is that they give you lots of free stuff like bags, pens, notepads, mouse mats and flash drives.
It was rather a long week though, because the presentations were running from 8am till 7pm, and I had to drive down from where I love. I was a bit late back on Tuesday, and missed Stargate, which means I will have to wait for the rerun tomorrow to find out what happened to Rodney and Daniel. Unless I cave and look it up on gate world. (please don’t post me spoilers in the comments).
There has been snow all week, but it’s melted now. It wasn’t too bad driving down to the conference, at least I didn’t have to drive over the mountains into work. Adam was staying with my parents for half term, and he built a snowman, and had a snowball fight with the kids next door.
Fortunately, I realised I would be tired today, so I booked a day off, so that I could have a lie in. I am hoping I can get some writing done today, as I have not done anything much for a couple of weeks. Kass and I have been working on a project, which you will all find out about soon. I will have to catch up with my chores first though.
