Hello world! We're setting up our demonstration machines now for the second day of the 4th Annual Southern California Linux Expo 2006 (Scale 4x). We've got one server (really just moderately-buff desktop computers) with Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition running Exchange, and another one running our Morphix LiveCD and OSER. One laptop running Windows XP with Outlook, and another running Ubuntu with Firefox/Sunbird, and the last laptop (not counting ours) running Windows XP with the web interface (I think that's what we'll use it for, that's not out yet). Yesterday was all fliers and business cards, we weren't able to get all of the systems loaded with proper operating systems and software before it started yesterday. I think that's good though, we piqued their curiosity yesterday and now they get to play with it today. A devious if un-intentional trade show strategy that will get the same people who visited us yesterday to visit again today. At 4:30 today my husband Charles is speaking about the project. The show floor is supposed to be closed at the same time that his presentation is done, but last night it took about half an hour to actually clear the floor. I think we'll keep the booth running until people are actually gone. Pictures coming when we get home- just a couple of booth pictures, we've been working not vacationing! On a side note, I could have sworn he told me he packed the charger for the camera... It's still good for a few more pictures (hopefully including some at his presentation) but I can't use the LCD screen. I love the camera, but this is the downside of the rechargable battery in a non-standard size (it's a square). Kodaks (sorry, I'll always be a Kodak fan) that I've worked with before have rechargables shaped like two double-A's, so you can normal batteries in a pinch.
