Deep in the Heart of Texas

I'm here in Dallas delivering 2005's final VC++ Accelerator Lab at our Las Colinas campus with Ayman Shoukry, Jonathan Caves, and Samer Boshra.  Some of you may be interested to know that I elected to stay in a non-cricket hotel this time around.  We did have one major disappointment on this trip when we discovered that Babe's Chicken in Roanoke was closed when we showed up for dinner last night! Horror! And to think I had been mentally preparing myself for that heavenly fried chicken for like two days beforehand.  Oh well... gives me an excuse to come back.  I'm actually sitting in the back of the presentation room at the moment, rudely typing away while Ayman lectures on Profile Guided Optimizations.  The lab is a sold out show this time around, so it'll definitely be interesting to see how busy things get in the lab later this afternoon.
