So the conference was a rousing success. Despite not liking what I had to wear on Monday (and stressing ever so slightly that I was showing too much skin), I had a great time. This being a users' group meeting, it was like a big love-in for our company. I am sure many of the customers brought their own "Ways the company could improve" list, but being able to meet with the support team in person made them act nicer and show their appreciation for our efforts on their behalf. It was exhausting to be face-to-face with so many people all at once, and I'm still tired, but it was great fun.

And there were *two* chocolate fountains at the opening reception Monday night.

Chocolate. Fountains.

Since then, the only thing I've really accomplished was to finally figure out how to improve the feng shui of my living room. I am sad that my armchair, aka The Captain's Chair, has to go, but it's the only way to make this room someplace that someone (like me) would want to enter and then stay. Unfortunately, it also means that I will be short a useful seat/garbage collector/place to sit while putting on my shoes. Oh well, more incentive to buy a rug and a bunch of pillows. And file my stuff. And figure out somewhere else to put on my shoes.

And while I concentrate on my interior decorating, this guy swims with no arms. Amazing. [via Jon]
