First Day Without a Technology Disaster

Wrapping another workday in the UK. Spent the day training my colleagues, which was very enjoyable. They really kept me on my toes, and I didn't have any technical snafus - the borrowed laptop still works!

Went to Marks and Spencer (a Whole-Foods UK equivalent) for lunch. It was delicious.

Tonight 3 of us (myself, a woman from Belfast, and another guy from York) are going to cab it to Windsor to see the palace and have a nice dinner. Should be fun. They are VERY NICE people. Of course I would be too if I lived in this country. It's so beautiful here - green and just nice. And all the towns have some character to them - not like our suburbs which all look alike.

Just ask them what they think of America, though! We are undoubtedly the laughing stocks of the world.

The weather is cool and cloudy.

Tomorrow will hopefully be a quiet day in the office here preparing for Friday's demo in France. Of course, the French have still not confirmed back to us that the room the demo's going to be in is adequately set up for the presentation, despite numerous e-mail and voice mail requests going back a month. Oh well....

My laptop is somewhere between here and the US - hope it makes it OK and the data can be recovered!

More later......
