New friends -what is her problem?

During our trip to Redwood Shores Debra also had UX training, I think that stands for Unlimited eXploits as it is always such fun.

It is a very special group with a secret website I can't share but I can show you my Lille Stanley picture and my profile.

This year there were some new guys and Debra said she didn't like them because they are 'sales' -not sure what that means but it must be awful, there is another  Dane she also calls sales so they must be bad. Anyway I disagree they all seemed fun and even Debra laughed with them in class but made me promise not to tell anyone. She trusts me, my lips are sealed.

Safe For A While

You know how I worry about the Danes, well Mogens is just all talk I can handle him, the one I really worry about is the tank commander.

Since the tank incident (I still can't talk about it without a shudder), and the cruel summer he put me through, I have tried to avoid Denmark but he followed me to Japan. Is no-where safe?

However he is now off somewhere, probably under cover with Miracle Security, so I a safe for a few months. In this photo our friend Janni is sporting his uniform, why does he think his vest is safer than me? Perhaps I should have gone with him.

Take Care Friend, I will probably miss you.

Stanley Unlocks More of The Story

This week was the annual pilgrimage of user group leaders to what my friend Floyd calls the mothership.

Lots of my friends I made in Latin America and Asia PAC were there, Paola from Equador, Robin from columbia, Eduardo from Brazil, Nelson and Edelweiss from Uraguay. Marshall from China, Masato Abe from Tokyo, Dougs from Auckland, and of course travelling friends like Ronald and dog, Murali and Hans.

Debra tells me this is great education and I agree, in the past I have learnt here about Sun and then the Cloud. This year I learnt that the Cloud in the Sun box is for big data. So where do they put the little data?

It's CHRISTMAS

I love Christmas especially this year as I have my girlfriend.

Like last year I got a video from Santa (It doesn't stay for very long on the website hence the photo), and he said I was naughty but that I would see more of my friends next year. Notice Santa is also wearing a red vest.

Then Miranda and I also created our own Christmas Card to say Merry Christmas to All our friends

Protected By Miracle Security

You know I am a top secret member of Miracle Security, and one of their jobs is to protect people.

My keeper Mogens is very conscientious about this and it includes a range of protective clothing.

First their came T shirts, personally I think the wording is placed where it is so that he can look at ladies without being told off.

Then came the underwear, apparently if you have sex wearing this range of underwear you won't get pregnant and I can promise you Miranda is not, so they work.

Mogens sent some underwear to the Silversurfers who were not sure what they were meant to do with them, but always up for a laugh, they gave it their best.

Let's hope we are as much fun when we reach their age :-)

Not really Appreciated in Your Own Back Yard

I don't know if it is a British Thing, but I am not really appreciated in the UK. At UKOUG I don't really come out much but I do love the ACE Dinner, I get to be with my friends from all over the world and I love it.

This year started as ever with Debra getting ready for her week in Birmingham and I had brought Lille Stanley with me, as well as Miranda, so things were looking good.

My mate James was there and I hadn't seen him since his wedding so he was quick to put me on. I like James even if his eyes are very scary.

Then at the Masquerade Ball, I danced a lot with Björn Bröhl from Germany.

 

I was really happy, even if Debra did try out those new heels on me. And my friend Edelweiss from Uruguay was also visiting.

Playing in Perth

I've already written about my new friends in Perth, I wanted to do that straight away. However we were in perth for the conference and I ahd a bit of fun there as well. First of all they knew I was coming and even better than a red carpet they layed on ACE tiling.

Then my mate Chris Muir introduced me to some of his friendly green pigs.
