Today, for the first time, 3tera’s speaking at a public event.

Having had our heads down working on the system for the last couple years, we haven’t gotten out much. Heck, with Webex, we’ve even closed our first customers without hopping on a plane. Hence, our tans have faded to a uniformly pale complexion.

So, getting back to the point, I’m impressed with the turnout here today. No, it’s not 1998 again (when there were so many events folks were even booking me as a keynote), but there are about 150 very qualified people in attendance. The speakers have been interesting, not simply repeating the same old material. I’ve learned a few things already this morning. And, of course, we get to talk publicly about AppLogic.
