Last night was well below freezing, but the forecast is for mid-70’s by
\n Thursday. That is worth looking forward to! The conference is quite
\n interesting. Right now I’m in a session on Mobile Connections — how to do
\n that with IBM’s WebSphere “Everyplace” products. It’d be great if it really
\n worked as well as hyped in this presentation.<\/p>\n
The damage from last summer’s hurricanes is still quite visible —
\n particularly homes and businesses with blue tarps on their roofs waiting
\n for insurance and qualified roofers to become available. There is still
\n some considerable damage visible on roofs and sidings of the buildings on
\n the Disney grounds.<\/p>\n
The resort covers an area the size of Boston. Some 37,000 full time
\n employees and another 20,000 seasonal and part time workers make up the
\n workforce. The grounds are immaculate and very pleasant. The theme parks
\n are quite a way from the hotels, but regular bus (and watertaxi) service
\n runs through the entire complex. It’s quite the impressive place — with
\n lots and lots of kids! This is the slow season, so I can only imagine what
\n the busy season might look like.<\/p>\n
