Quinn

Yes, I am in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada!! I was looking forward to see this city for a while. I was told that I've been lucky because a whole week without a rain was unusual. Things have been great, much more than I was expecting. I attended Northern Voice 2006. I've met people in faces, and seeing and finding stuff I haven't found online and so on.

I know I haven't posted any about Vancouver before this, and I think many of you I met in Vancouver are wondering if this blog is actually Quinn's blog??? I am really sorry about this, but here I am. This is Quinn you know. I should have a notebook with Wi-Fi capability at least. It has been difficult to do online stuff during this trip. I am posting this from VPL right now. I have one more day to explore this city. I think I am going to rent a bike to wander around and do some shopping for my family and friends in Japan.

I apprecitate to those who came up and say "Hi" to me while I was there knowing almost no one. Some people actually tring to hook me up with other web developers, telling me some exciting stuff happening and local secrets(?), were really nice. Moreover, I was really happy to see a few guys even after the event, trying to help me around.

Lastly, Thank you to Boris, who put this event together. I was really happy to hear your talk, but sadly couldn't talk to you back much and entertain you with a nice chat. I totally understand the situation he was hosting an event with more than a hundred attendees.

That's really my problem, I think I definitively need to improve my English to keep up with you guys! Any volunteers for voice chatting with me? Anyways, I really appreciate your hospitalities here in Vancouver. Thanks!

Thanks to a post, IE7 Beta 2 available to the public, by WaSP. I found out that Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 is now out.

However, this is likely to be one of those.. I needed the latest softwares.

I need Windows XP to test it. I admit that I must be way behind. I am not a Microsoft fan anyway. Oh yeah, I don't even have Tiger (Latest MacOSX) yet. So.. what am I anyway? a web developer? What a joke! Don't you think so?

Anyways, web technologies are all about the independencies to the end use (theoretically). I think that's the most fascinating thing and the beauty of this technology. Well, if you are a web developer, I wonder what you think about keeping up with the latest softwares.

I am usually a keeper. My kids still play with my first own computer, PowerMac 4400/200 which I bought 8 years ago. This subject my be refer to What was your first computer like? if you like to read others experiences.
