Paul,
Thanks for the kind words, but I can't take all the
credit for the
CyberCafe.
Apple generously provided all the Macs.
IT departments around the world may
say that Macs are hard to network, but we put a dozen
Macs on the Internet
in under an hour.
Apple sent top of the line G4s with Cinema displays, and
Titanium PowerBooks, as well as a bunch of iMacs. Imagine what the lines
would have been like if we only had three computers, as
we did in
Montpelier.
The true highlight of the cafe was the free espresso.
Thanks to Phoenix Flow
Systems, Guava Technologies, PROzyme and Becton Dickinson
for contributing
to the coffee fund. By the time we got to the coffee
I had blown the marketing budget on this endeavor,
and these companies stepped in to make
sure you had Ryan Brothers coffee instead of the swill
we'd have gotten from
the hotel.
I also extend a special thanks to Kevin Becker for
bringing the
Mar Dels to the banquet.
The best band of any ISAC I've attended.
The CyberCafe crew
was Jennifer Wilshire, Maciej Simm, Adam Treat and Amy
Hsu.
They thought they were getting a leisurely week on the
beach, and ended up working 9 to 9 every day to keep the CyberCafe running.
It
was an
exhausting schedule, and they were tireless in their
support of the
attendees' Internet needs.
It never would have come off without them.
Sophia Ascani and Alexandra Treister tie-dyed the 350
shirts. Each one is a
unique work of art, and each was hand-dipped. Our garage floor has the
stains to prove it.
So wear them proud, and wash
them in cold water.
We've agreed to do it again at ISAC XXII in
Montpelier.
I'm just thankful this
congress is only held every
second year.
All this marketing crap
just gets in the way of my
programming.
Au revoir,
Adam
