Gah.<\/p>\n

Hello from the Renaissance center in Deeeeetroit. My demo is not working. I’m one full cluster build behind schedule, because my demo is not working. I’m having a hard time taking the fact that my demo does not work seriously, given that it does not need<\/em> to work in order to (a) impress people (b) make sales. Plus, the hotel network is truly screwed up.<\/p>\n

I was supposed to hang with this afternoon. Instead, I made my demo not work. Tomorrow, I was supposed to go to the technical sessions and keynotes and actually learn something. Instead, I’m guessing that I will slowly bring my demo to life…and that nobody will give a damn whether it really works or is canned. Gah. This is triply frustrating because I’m so unaccustomed to crap like this. In my day job, the only things that have<\/b> to work are the things that really<\/b> matter.<\/p>\n

The fact that nobody but me really knows if it’s working or not (I verified this by asking if they could tell, or if it was just me) doesn’t help.<\/p>\n

Still, I have a truly glorious view of the city from my room on the 63rd floor. I’m looking along the river. Canada is to my left. I can see the Windsor Casino, just barely, out of the leftmost corner of my window. I am partially clothed, and far too high above the city for anyone to tell. Behold my belly, Detroit. Behold and weep. My proud belly drags the ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
