How are we all doing today and what do we each have on our agendas for the day today?
Work stuff as always here. Thankfully things are slowing down after the major Nova release last week so that's good. Couple of meetings today from 12pm - 3pm EST.
After that, might give Gray Zone Warfare a try as the wife and I have been debating on picking it up.
Let's all talk about what our day is going to consist of today, or what it has already consisted of.
For me, I have a TON of work stuff along with three meetings today.
After that my wife will be taking me out to dinner for my birthday today. We'll be going to a place called Village Tavern that we've been to once that was really good.

From 1987 to 1992 Xerox PARC ran the Colab (Electronic Meeting Room) project to study how computer technologies could support face-to-face-meetings. The researchers designed a conference room with specialized equipment such as networked Lisp Machines, a room-scale touch sensitive projection screen, and collaboration software in Interlisp.
This post by a Colab researcher summarizes the project and links to more in depth papers:
DEATH to #DoodlePoll ! I refuse to click your link, pair your options up with my outlook calendar, block off a half dozen slots and guard them until the other invitees weigh in and the organizer pulls the trigger. By then, I’ve already agreed to something else. NO MORE! #academia#academic#meetings
I wish that deranged collaboration tool #teams are being tortured with nowadays would be more like its ancient predecessor: Microsoft #NetMeeting. Its feature set was ahead of its time and the clean, native UI was made for productivity. Unfortunately - besides being EOL - it doesn't support IPv6 & is based on H.323, which means it won't work behind NAT offhand.
