This week I'm at an industry conference (for those in IT, the SHARE conference -- user conference for IBM customers). I've been kilted all week (as an aside, I'm just now collecting enough of the different pieces, like hose, to get close to that). On Monday, a guy stopped me in the hall on a break and introduced himself -- Verlyn -- as an XMarker. We had a nice chat over lunch. Haven't seen him the rest of the week, but several of my friends have seen him kilted a day or two.

I also ran into a second guy on a break on Monday (in the restroom) who said that he'd decided that if he saw anyone at the conference in a kilt that he'd wear his (and I encouraged him to do so). Since I was getting ready to present, and guys tend not to chat in the restroom, I washed my hands and left. I later realized that I hadn't even stopped to meet him. My friends also mentioned that they'd seen him kilted. I ran into him again in the hall today; he said he'd worn his Utilikilt. I invited him to join us here.

Kilts Rule!!!

Regards,
Mark
