These are my un-cut, unedited notes from Dave’s Live Morning Coffee Notes.
- Dave walks us through posting a note on Scripting.com.
- Then he spends some time, presumably, talking to the people in the IRC chat room.
- “This is going to be a pretty mind-numbingly vacuous Morning Coffee Notes” — TRUE!
- Essentially he is mumbling to himself while he plays with his computer.
- It makes very, very little sense if you are not sitting in the IRC channel.
- IRC is obviously a terrible distraction to him… 15 minutes in he finally starts to do something aside from chit chat with the IRC folks.
- At 18 minutes I actually felt my mind go numb.
- …he walks away from MCN to take a phone call. “If the phone rings you basically gotta go take it”
- “IF you guys want me to say anything, just type it into the window and I’ll say it.”
- He takes a few shots at Steve Kirks (about this comment) when he notices him in the IRC room.
- Then he reads us an email.
- I spaced out for a while while he did a websearch for something. Fascinating.
- “We’re driving for open API’s but vendors aren’t going to do it until users demand it.” — TRUE.
- “I seem to have run out of things to talk about” – did he ever have anything?
- He played us some music and then explained how his CMS works again.
- Dave does another phone call…
- Dave says: “They should have a parade for me!”
- That’s all I can take.
Now I remember why I could only listen to about 40 seconds of MCN in the past. It was, indeed, mind-numbingly vacuous… but at least he was up-front about that.
