First full day in San Antonio

Woke up around 9:15am, Bill called due to me having the key to the office (sorry!) This has to be the earliest I’ve been up on Saturday in I don’t know how long, unless you count the days where I’ve gone to bed shortly after this time ;)

I met Raquel and Dave, Raquel had read my blog about my flight in, and they bought Mountain Dew AND some shaving cream for me. Completely unexpected, but very awesome. Thanks!

We had breakfast at an amazing Bistro, I had scrambled eggs on a croissant, very delicious. Conversations about UDS and how well things went with handing out the EfikaMX at UDS. Loved hearing about people’s reactions.

Also, I discovered that although I’ve been pronouncing it ef i ca, it is prounounced Ef EE ca.

We came back to the work room, Bill took a picture of us hacking away, picture is up on their blog. I’m on the left in the front of the picture, playing with my new EfikaMX smartbook. (Yes, I’m still in love with it. Heavy usage and still got around 7 hours of battery life; with a 3 cell battery!)

For dinner we went to Boardwalk 50/50, I had the Flat Iron Steak, medium rare, with mashed potatoes, green beans, and Texas toast. Dr. Pepper to drink with it. Lots of conversation, and I learned a bit more about everyone. I also tried to explain baseball to Konstantinos. Never realized how involved the game is until you try to explain it to someone who has never seen it before, aside from in the movies.

More work ahead tomorrow, looking forward to it, but for now, I think I shall head to bed!

    I used to live in San Antonio for a couple years.

    You should have dinner at the Magic Time Machine. Get your picture taken with one of the characters there. Tell them, “Aaron, the guy who used to do the photos here, sent me.” (Maybe they’ll remember me, maybe they won’t.)

    Also, have a beer or two at Mad Dog British Pub down on the Riverwalk and Flying Saucer about a mile north of Loop 410 N on Fredricksburg. (I can’t remember the name of the cross street.) Great beer selections and good food. And the chicks are pretty nice, too….
