Software Engineering Conference Day 1

The conference has been interesting. It's a fairly small group, only about twenty or so. Our hosts are all professors at nearby Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and the focus is on the use of software development case studies to teach software engineering, which is of interest to Southern Man as his one and only SE professor could retire any minute now and someone will have to take on that course. They worked us pretty hard today, then took us to dinner at Down The Hatch where Southern Man slipped away to nab a geocache (our host unknowingly parked within feet of it) and then rejoined his comrades to eat delicious seafood and drink cold beer (a Red Stripe, which Southern Man often selects when there's fresh seafood on the table).


Why, yes, there are girls who go to software engineering conferences. Here's 2/3 of them.


On the dock behind the restaurant - boats of every size and description, most rigged for fishing. One large section is marked "docking for restaurant customers only." That chair was marked "Dock Master Only."
