Well, that’s another conference over. Sorry it has been so quiet here, but I have been busy on my company blog and I haven’t had much time for anything else.

The conference was a lot of fun, and reminded me quite a bit of ICFA (as opposed to other work conferences I’ve been to which have been either all-business or heavily theoretical). I think I might go to more of these, though they do need to do less of the mandatory formal banqueting and cut the cost. I mean, what’s the point of going to New Orleans and then forcing everyone to eat hotel food?

This evening we had a reception in the Cabildo, which is the big building at the far end of Jackson Square from Cafe du Monde. It was very nice. Good food, and there’s a museum in the building with a lot of local history. Obviously it has a lot about the good people of New Orleans seeing off the evil British, but I’m used to that sort of thing. Kevin would have loved it.

By the time that was over I just about had enough energy to stagger across the square for hot chocolate and beignets. Now I am going to bed and not putting the alarm on. If I get up in time I’m going to Two Sisters for brunch, and maybe doing some shopping. I’ll be home later tomorrow. Normal service will be resumed on Sunday.
