My day started early because I wanted to get my walk in before I had to leave to get to DevCon. I had to be at a breakfast at DevCon at 8:00am, and it was about an hour drive. I walked the route in reverse today, and the biggest thing I noticed by going the opposite direction was the giraffe. I snapped a picture of it as you can see below.
The conference was what a conference should be. I attended sessions about FileMaker Pro. I took a lot of classes in the intermediate developer level, and they were very good. After lunch, however, I could barely stay awake during the class titled: Workflow automation with script triggers.
Aside from breakfast, they have lots of food and snacks at these conferences. We have breakfast at 8am, then a snack at 10am, then lunch at 11:30am, another snack break at 3:15pm, and then they served us dinner at the attendees party at 6:00pm.
My time at DevCon ended today with an attendees party out by the pool. I didn’t take many pictures of the pool, and I should have. I did take pictures of the food table as I went through the line…
I waited for a few minutes at the table, and luckily someone brought more sliders…
The pool party was kinda dull, but while I ate, I watched these guys play bags. I think they were all speaking french, they were from Europe, and they had no idea how to play the game. They just seemed to enjoy throwing the bags at the board. They laughed a lot, and the guy with the grey shirt and white/blue plaid shorts was actually pretty good. The guy in the maroon shirt tossing the bag in the picture was really bad!
Since the “pool party” was kinda lame, and I would be swimming with people I didn’t even know, I decided to get out of there. I called Aunt Yvonne and Wayne and asked if I could visit and swim in their pool. Of course they were very happy for me to come. I stayed for about 2 hours (which was longer than I planned), but we had a great time visiting and cooling off in the pool. Well worth leaving the party.
Mom Murphy told me she made chocolate chip cookies, and I was happy to have some cookies and milk before going to bed. I also started my laundry, and I have to get that into the dryer.
I hope you all have a great day tomorrow!
Love you and goodnight!
