So Gus didn’t make the flight and ended up on the normal flight he was originally on. Oh well. If I haven’t mentioned it yet we flew out to chicago to visit one of our biggest hardware vendors CDW. They wanted to show off their offices and hawk HP’s warez. We did the whole factory tour, then sat through a propiganda session with a sales guy. Off to dinner and mingle. Then they are supposed to have a comedian. I also get to meet our sales guy. I have spoken to this guy at least once a week for the past year and a half and I have never meet him. Weird. At datastream it was like that. you would speak to people all the time and never meet them. I will fill in how dinner was tomorrow.

Mothers Day
Mothers day was nice. I went over to my parents house. My sister, brother in law and his family were over. The only no show was mikes sister. We had a good brunch, and played with the baby. it is very funny to see grown ups going all crazy over a baby. Of course I am included in that group of crazy people. I can safely say I do not like it at all when Morgan cries.
We fixed some problems with our Barbados flight. They did stuff to our seats so my sister got all pissed at American Airlines. I actually had inporved seats so I wasn’t pissed.
I also did some more work with VMWare. I got red hat to install fine on my laptop. The only thing now is to install the vmtools onto the red hat partition. That requires some config changes so I am working on getting that done soon. I also need to get the network card working properly with the vmware.
I got up at 4:30am today to catch my flight. I made it. I am writting this blog at 30+ thousand feet. I meet Gus at the airport, but he was flying standby on my flight. That means I don’t know if he actually made the flight. I hope he did. I will walk around and look after the drink cart goes by.
