Saturday in New York It's a drab and dreary day in New York City - as evidenced by the picture below. The hotel is interesting - with rooms just barely big enough to fit the queen size bed, and hardly enough cold water to go around. That's right, there's no shortage of hot water - just a lack of cold. Oh well, at least it's not ice cold like that summer in Moscow when they turned the hot water off for 4 weeks. Braving the rapids we called it. The hotel has no high-speed internet, only dial-up. Thank God for the Starbuck's HotSpot across the street.
8th and West 35th
Last night I hung out with Vic, Clinton and Steve. There were lots of discussions on Flex and rich clients. Vic thinks that rich clients like Flex are the next big thing. I don't disagree, but he thinks they'll replace all HTML clients - and eventually the browser. I have a hard time believing that - though it would be nice to see. To me, weather I'm writing HTML or Flex - it's all just angle-bracket syntax to create UIs. I'll do whatever my clients want - and I'm willing to bet that most won't care for a Flash UI for quite some time.
