Murphy strikes again
So I'm sitting in the SJ airport. I forgot my cell phone (thought Cheryl had it in her purse) and Mark's flight is delayed because of the fire mess in SoCal. The FAA moved their control center from SD to John Wayne Airport which is where Mark was trying to depart from. I can't get reliable info about where he is unfortunately.
What a mess. :-)
In the mezzanine
Well I made it to the conference. Mark's flight was a couple hours late, so I got to sit on Wi-Fi in the airport for a while.
I'm sitting in the mezzanine with Mark, Damien Barrett, and Gary Franz. Dori is three tables down and Rael is sending Damien Bluetooth viruses from the next table. ;-)
Plone Banner
We needed a banner for our booth at the Mac OS X Conference. I figured Mark would have a banner made with the Tyrell logo, or maybe the Tyrell logo and a Plone logo... but Mark made a BIG ASS Plone BANNER!
It's got the Plone logo (like the one at the top left of plone.org) and a tagline underneath. No Tyrell logo.
Very, very cool. It's good for the Plone brand and the Plone community. This is what OSS communities and selling the product is about, putting the software ahead of the ego.
Thanks Mark!

Great Panther hack for Expose
I love Expose, but so far haven't trained myself to use it consistently. I'm too wild with the cursor to enable Expose using hot corners, so I'm using the F9-F11 default. Those keys are a little hard for me to hit on-the-fly on my Pismo.
Using this tip gives you a translucent button on the screen which you can click to use Expose...
macosxhints: 10.3: Enable the floating Expose blob
I'm hoping by seeing it it'll make me think about it more. Then I'll use Expose more. Since I prefer the keyboard, I figure it'll also get me into the habit of mastering the keyboard shortcuts as well. :-)
