It has been a long day…<\/p>\n

OK. Where to start. I woke up too early and could not get back to sleep. Still I left at the time I intended and there was not too much traffic on the road. Which was about what I expected. <\/p>\n

I got up at Wyong about 7:00 and set up within about 10 minutes. We didn’t have Internet access, so my demo was not as good as I had hoped. Still there was a lot of interest as always, and it was great introducing more people to the hobby. I was up there promotingt technology, rather than selling anything. Even so I made about some reasonable sales for the day. <\/p>\n

My talk was disjointed unfortunately. I have a feeling that I never got around to finishing or editing the talk I gave. I decided to go back to basics this year, and it seemed to work well. The turn-out was about 30-40 which was close to my best ever for talks at this event. I was happy. <\/p>\n

The talk was disjointed, and I was scared whilst going through it if I would finish it too early. With some questions it finished right on time. And the audience really enjoyed it. They laughed at my jokes, and seemed to understand what I had to say. Even the more advanced in the room seemed to learn something which was good. If the people were not learning it would be a waste of my time quite frankly. <\/p>\n

The event was also good to fill people in on what has been going on in my life in the past 12 months. Unfortunately I see many of my friends so rarely. I did get a congratulatory handshake from one friend who I had not had a chance to speak to since we called the engagement off. <\/p>\n

My Poor Car<\/h2>\n

Now that the water has dried off, I have now been able to see the condition of my car after the hail. I would guess that there at least 30 dints from hail on the roof, and at least 10 on the bonnet. This is not good for a car that is just over 2.5 years old. Still, the insurance will fix everything. That is what it is for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
