*thud*

Comment that left me slackjawed and stunned today, on meeting someone for the first time:

"Tall, thin, long red hair... yup, you're pretty much like Grady described you."



Oh yeah, ended up being 17 interviews. Too much to digest as of yet.

Grady is Grady Booch - the guy who gave the keynote at WICSA last month, who I spent *MAYBE* three minutes talking to, have mailed twice, and haven't gotten a reply back from. The second mail to him was telling him that, since he's in IBM, if he was by any chance near the Watson center yesterday, I'd be giving a talk. He apparently contacted someone at the labs and told them.

I was pretty positive he didn't remember me from Adam, but...

I was pretty stunned to have it come out of left field like that.

Sounds like a good thing though, huh?

You're a good looking man - maybe he noticed! ;)
