I'm really hoping to get a chance to meet a lot of people at this NI Week. And what better way, than by letting people know what I'm up to? I am going to be keeping this page updated with the schedule of events and sessions that I am planning on attending. When I'm not busy or attending a session/event, I'm going to be hanging out at the LAVA/OpenG booth (booth 181). I really love hanging out and talking shop with other LabVIEW geeks like myself, so stop by and say hi! Also, take special note of the Wednesday sessions at 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM. I will be presenting these two back-to-back sessions on OpenG related topics.
Here's what I looked like, as of Sunday, 08/10/2003, after a having few ultimate margaritas and Shiner Bocks while watching the sun set over the river (hence the blissfully smug look). WARNING - I might not look this cheery if you catch me at a keynote (before my morning coffee takes effect ;-)
