I met a girl in 1993 and asked her if she had an email address. She said "A wha? :confused:". She gave me her snail mail address. She's now my wife and checks her Facebook page daily on her iPhone. I guess it all worked out, right? :-D

Ha! That's great. :) I wanted to get my daughter a onesie that says "Child process" on it, but my wife had to draw the line somewhere.

Your 12 year old son is taking directions from you to debug an IP problem. Your wife wants a new RAID for the server for our wedding anniversary. There are more computers in the house than people (5 people, 3 cats, 9 computers RUNNING, who knows how many as parts...) You are building a new house and worry about the network infrastructure before the room layout. The cost of computer upgrades affects the family budget more than the cost of gas. Your 3 year old can use a mouse (yes, all three kids could at three...) Your 12 year old son is more interested in the OS and file types on the MP3/4 player you are buying him than the music he will listen to. Your 9 year old daughter prefers digital horses to real ones. Your kids are learning Japanese from subtitled Anime and know that they have to wait for BitTorrents to bring the next episode. Your forms of relaxing hobbies are electronics, model trains (electronics) and the stereo (electronics). When you take your children to the Museum of Flight they ask to see the simulation systems reboot to understand the underlying OS and hardware. Your son's favorite shirt is "There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't." You meet your wife in the SF section of a bookstore. I am sure there are more examples, but you get the idea.

You need a woman in your life! (ok folks, don't take that as "to do the dusting" but "to tell him how HOW to do the dusting"!) Marc

- all the phone numbers you give people are SkypeIn numbers. - you find yourself often having a conversation about how keyboards aren't as good as they used to be. - your 2 yr old daughter can log into a PC, use a mouse to play Purple Place on Windows 7, navigate youtube like a veteran, take photos with a compact digital camera and review them on the LCD, but can't speak English yet.

I don't think they're up yet (though slides from some sessions are[^]) In the meantime however there are summaries of all of the sessions here[^] to give you a flavour of what the conference is all about.

Most likely looking for user feedback. :laugh:
I'd blame it on the Brain farts.. But let's be honest, it really is more like a Methane factory between my ears some days then it is anything else...

It would be absurd if your wife (a fellow geek) needed to be reminded of your website URL. :)
