Based on the current United schedule, we will start the meeting at 6pm and Rob should arrive at about 7pm with Roman Rehak.
The first hour of the meeting will have the usual “what’s going on” and then I will facilitate a free for all .NET Q&A until Rob arrives.

(responding to some emails and phone calls) really – here’s why
flight 7960 is en route. It left Burlington one hour late and will arrive in Chicago only 25 minutes late.
It is the same plane, it arrives at gate E2 and Rob’s flight departs from E2.
I think they said 3:30 because they did not know when the Burlington flight was leaving (there were computer problems).
Hang in there. Let’s give it some more time to shake out.

My dear friend and college roommate was highly impacted by Hunter S. Thompson’s work when we were in college — I believe even writing one of her two senior theses (she was a double major – my brilliant friend 🙂 ) on something that involved reading a lot of his work. She went on to do her post graduate work at Medill School of Journalism and is, of course, a journalist who I know will someday get a Pulitzer!
Of course I thought of her immediately this morning when I read that Thompson had killed himself. I thought that my friend’s reply was a nice tribute in her journalistic shorthand…
i can’t blv he did it. i always admired him and thought of him as an icon but only in last couple years did i come to totally appreciate and read a lot of his stuff. i wanted to have a beer with him at woody creek tavern but i guess that won’t be happening…

Watch here for updates on meeting status! I will feed them to the VTdotNET site as well.
Rob Howard is scheduled to speak at Vermont.NET tonight. Everyone is very excited and I have a lot of RSVPs. But now we have a snowy blustery morning and a forecast for it to be like this all day. Rob’s flight is due in at 5pm and the meeting is at 6pm.
I did just speak to Rob on his way to the airport in DFW and he’s going to go for it, at least as far as Chicago then we’ll figure it out from there.
We can watch his Chicago -> Burlington flight status here. And the weather forecast here.
Alex Lowe has just joined Telligent Systems. I’m sure he will be missed as a D.E. in the Michigan and Ohio area, but what a perfect fit!!

update: However, for the purpose of testing out some basic ink functionality when developing ink-enabled apps, without having to go out and purchase a tablet pc, this might do the trick. I don’t think (from my one minute of testing – let’s be clear about that) that this will be good if you are testing intensive functions that depend on granularity such as breaking a stroke down or working with stylus input.
