The conference, in Cincinnati on Thurs&Fri, is also
web-accessible - http://www.fastsummit.com/
Meanwhile, I'm in Washington this week talking about
distributed Java at a conference
http://www.sdexpo.com/cgi-bin/1998/east/main.pl?x-a=v&x-id=70
so no crashing P&G in Cinti. I'm staying at the same downtown
Grand Hyatt in which the famous photo of Bill hugging Monica
was taken. It's pretty much halfway between
the White House and the federal courthouse - about a 10
minute walk to WH, 5 to court. That secured closed circuit wire
probably runs right down the street in front of me.
Any messages from FoRK to pass along to Bill?
Any tips on how to hack into the CCTV connection from
a hotel room 100yards or so away :-)?
Then again, what's the point? Anything we don't already know?
I've read&heard&seen so many newspaper&TV&Internet accounts
of what he will or won't say, the actual event has to be
anticlimactic.
Saddam is getting away with kicking out the inspectors,
but does anyone care? No, today's the day we all get to hear about
Bill's fly. Sheesh. What a country. Polls indicate Americans
don't care about zippergate because of the great job Clinton
is doing. Great job? 180 degree turnaround to a policy of 'shrug'
on the bastard who
has fired missiles at my home, and is poised to do so again now?
I don't think he's doing a great job.
