Macworld Wednesday

Posted on Thursday 13 January 2005

We actually had a pretty structured plan for today.

We got breakfast at Mel’s Diner on Mission. Got to the convention center around 11. We checked out some more booths, places that had slipped our attention yesterday. Then we went to the MacIT Keynote, which was given by a dude from Genentech. It was pretty interesting, but the mass load of carbohydrates from breakfast really made staying completely conscious a bit of a challenge. It was just like those after lunch college lectures!


After, we went back to the floor. More browsing. I have this theory that tomorrow I’m going to go in and get one of every product that’s still in my head. Evidently this is known as Expo fever.

At 1, we went to another MacIT session on combining Applescript Studio and shell scripting. As I said before, I do want to make a little app to use… this seems to be the best way to do it. Although, the difference between looking at code generated at my workplace and the demo script code displayed… shudder. I couldn’t believe that I was missing .NET. Mmmm. Objects. Really, I could do the backend scripting in Python as well, so perhaps this is my excuse to learn.

After that, back to the floor (sense a trend)? We looked at one company selling security dongles / software. My brother was interested (he’s paranoid like that) so we waited to talk to the exhibitor. Man, the dude in front of us in line was a putz. Kept telling the exhibitor what their product should do and why it didn’t do things he wanted and therefore would fail. Something like that.

We went to the MacBrainiac challenge (this trivia contest b/t Mac publishing personalities like Ihnatko and others). It was pretty disorganized, and not that funny, so we left to see House of Flying Daggers.

Man, that movie had some spiffy visuals. A bit slow (and horrendously agonizingly intensely emotional). But whoa, it sure was neat to see.

We went to dinner at an Italian restaurant that my brother had been to before. Very popular tonight (people were stacked on each other, waiting for tables, as we ate). It was good… I had carpaccio for the first time.

Now we’re back at the hotel waiting for Albert to call to hang out.

More tomorrow…
