We spent the day with the e-on software team, mostly standing around while they got the booth put together, then a meeting about what we would be showing off for Vue 8. They are great people and I can tell it is going to be fun working with them.

An interesting thing was said in conversation. It is hard for people to have to set aside a loved tool and learn new skills to accomplish what they already knew how to do. When selling software like this, unless they’ve been specifically been looking for this solution, we have to sell them not only on parting with their money but also their time in learning it. For this reason, I hate getting new cell phones. Also, I really don’t feel like I have time to learn new gadgets. The benefit really has to outweigh any inconvenience I may not even know I’m experiencing.

We ate dinner on a balcony over Bourbon street. Blackened Redfish and Jambalaya (a taste that was a rediscovery, and a lovely surprise that this old comfort food to me. Must have had a lot of it when a wee one in Louisiana). Good music, didn’t see the street a lot because of talking to each other so much.

Tomorrow I’m first up in the morning, presenting Vue 8 Infinite.
