room with a view

forgot to blog this last Wednesday, as i was conscripted to attend a SWIFT partner meeting with "Roddy" (a pseudonym for the only male colleague i have whose name doesn't start with a "ro"). since SWIFT has practically dominated interbank comms for the last decade or so (antitrust anyone? *lol*), its only right that they splurge for conferences like these (and they mostly do). even if i knew that i would need toothpicks to keep my eyes open for the whole time, i figured, free food = ok.

as i have feared, i needed to fight off the zzzs for most of the day (heh). but one thing i greatly enjoyed, apart from the lunchtime mingling-slash-joking with some IBM career professionals, were the spectacular views. too bad i only had my cellphone, cause it would really look ... unprofessional to have a real digicam (well, i could pretend i was taking shots of the speakers). so excuse the quality.

by the way, delphi, where was your posse?


something's missing ... and i dont know how to fix it
