We’ve just spent the last three days in Palm Desert, at the VFP Developers Conference. Palm Desert is about 4 hours drive from Las Vegas, mostly through desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We dropped the cats off at Creature Comforts on Saturday, then drove out of Las Vegas at about 5:00am on Sunday to avoid the heat. On the way out of the valley I had to stop and take a picture of the Moon setting behind some mountains lit up by the rising Sun, pretty cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We had a late breakfast at Peggy Sue’s Diner outside of Barstow. Very 50’s. Very pleasent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just outside of Palm Desert there is a bunch of factory outlet stores, where we stopped and got something to drink, and I bought a pair of swimming trunks (they gotta be red ones). The heat was almost unbearable, though, and we didn’t linger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I meant to take a bunch of notes while at DevCon, but by design we really ended up working very hard with Richard.S who had basically come in from Seattle especially to work with us. I think we made pretty good use of our time there, and it was certainly good to meet up with some old friends such as Reiner from Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The drive back was pretty tiring. Peggy Sue’s seemed like a good halfway point to stop, even though it wasn’t really a mealtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We arrived back in the Vegas Valley on Tuesday, in plenty of time to pick up the cats before Creature Comforts closed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
