Yup....

I am back out on the road again, just finishing up my stop in Fayetteville today, to where I will head on up to Virginia Beach. I will be there for a week, and then I am heading up to Fredricksburg, VA for a week and then on to Frederick, MD for a week.....From there I am onto Lexington, KY for a week and back to corporate....

Just posting, if anyone in the area wants to meet at all.....I am not that thrilling of a guy, but hey, it's fun to meet people I talk to online a lot.

Anyways, just thought I would share...

Damn... my brother is in Fayetteville. I got another brother in Virginia Beach. And I grew up about 20 minutes from Fredericksburg. It's like you're going on the FranklinNoble family reunion tour or something.

Oh, and I was gonna stay in Lexington this year for the Derby, but we had to bag the trip.

Who in the hell is 'MacroGuru', and why would one want to meet with him? Did some numbskull change his name again?

Turning off signatures is the only way to go. Otherwise visiting any message forum is like driving through Branson, Missouri -- only with less class.

Heh, as I said above, I did have them turned off (for a few months), but I switched them on again. As far as the other posts you mentioned it in, I've been away since friday, so that could be it.

Anyway, I still think changing your name after a long period of time is lame. I cannot tell a lie. :)

I will be the big lame guy....but I wanted to do this for a while and I figured, since the game no longer exists, why not.....

you're welcome. :p It was late and I saw that you took the time to set a signature for yourself so couldn't find a reason why you'd have them turned off...

I have to say though, that days like today, make my job worth it.

We were at Faith Academy School of Excellence in Norfolk, Va teaching the kids technology.

Great school, lots of love from everyone around, and I was able to capture some pictures of the k3 and k4 students out on the playground with their teacher chasing some bubbles.

Seeing a passion for knowledge and a passion for technology in students and a school, make my job very fulfilling. These kids loved having the TechTank there, and I loved being there. It will be something they will always remember.

Thanks!

Gotta say though, the best part about what I do is the education at schools. We do it as a non profit effort, so we do not charge the schools anything for what we do, and when we leave, they are happy and smiling, and genuine about what we do.

Anyways, the big screen is a projection home theater setup we have. It has an x-box 360 hooked up to it, connected to a media center pc, through media connect, so not only are we able to run stuff from one of the computers through the 360, we are able to game on it.

All the PC's on the tank are Media Center PC's, running a variety of software depending on what we are training on. This tour is Microsoft Student 2006 and Microsoft Digital Imaging Suite as well as Symantec's Internet Security and System Works.

Anyways, if we hit your way FM, I will be sure to let you know.

Basically a big meeting room on wheels worth about a million so kind of rough on the budget :)

cool, if they're ever interested in hearing more or talking to some people from either sales or marketing, let me know. I don't work in sales but I'm pretty close...

I did visit one of these coporate coaches at the company's xmas party last December and I gotta say it was very impressive, but all of our motorhomes are sweet on the eyes... :)
