He refused a photo and I was sad about that. You are exactly correct.
@702,488 (B)
He looks like the photos, but most of what I had seen were unflattering poses. We talked mostly about engineering work. He told a lot of stories.
He picked me up in a domestic spots car and we ate amazing seafood dishes at a local Thai restaurant. I gave him a bag of my favorite coffee beans from Portland.

Yo that is not at all accurate. I said early on in email reply a photo was ok but only if limited to showing to a select Trusted number of people. Mods for instance. And given I am meeting up with three others in the near future they of course could have been included. A couple3/4 net friends on TC.
In person toward the end up the evening when you brought it up you mentioned only one person (A mod) and I said of course I have no problem with That and then conversation drifted off and shoot mon I have no clue why you felt a selfie was out of the question.
> > He refused a photo and I was sad about that. > > Lies, Syntax is a photo whore.
I have said from the getGo on net. The only way I can control photo content is to not publish such myself and make sure places I post also have rules in place that forbid people pics Unless They have posted them in past. Given I do not its just maintain of control.
Hell NO NO NO - Not even for One Microsecond @702,671 (Reid)
> Yes, indirectly; toward the end. We had been together for three hours and he clearly shifted topics to make vague references to MAtt.
What? The only reference I made and it was direct and to the point was - That NO Way was I going to bring that Pedophile Cockroach up and the Vague reference at the end was ME SAYING I WAS MAKING SURE WE that is You and I could say we had a nice meetup and not for a fraction of any instant wood we waste a moment discussing a putrescent mass, a walking vomit, a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. (Nor did I even allude to terms such as that because it wood have crossed the line by discussing the stench, a revulsion, insensate, meaningful to nobody.
I recently replaced a somewhat aging BMW Z4 with a 2016 White Ford Mustang. Did NOT get the convertible because I still have that with a BMW Z4. Frankly and Reid will confirm I end up so toasty crispy with sun exposure from daily Surfing and Running and during summer so many outdoor concerts to dance2 - More sun with a convertibility is asking to make some Skin cancer doctor more rich.
@702,491 (Reid) > I gave him a bag of my favorite coffee beans from Portland.
Yea and today I totally resisted opening that bag and grinding the beans for a cup of Espresso. Saving that for after Comic Con. And man thanks for that as it was a very nice unexpected surprise.
We DID discuss stuff about several good MC people - Not one word about the basement dwellers Other than a mention of how much a shame so many are stuck in a rut living in a basement. For sure no one by name.
> LMAO I knew the senile old fucker could not refrain from mentioning the object of his obsession!
Which only goes to prove you are full of shit cause that WE did not - Not for one fraction of a Picosecond.

I am back to Internet. Hopefully no one is eating and using MC. When in the company of an interesting person and Reid has this exciting new job in technology that is designed to impress -
I do a lot of exciting stuff in my consultin life as well as the many years of being a direct employee - To be paid to play is the very greatest thing one can do. Music makeers get to do that.
Reid can program in high level languages - It more like he can look at stuff he wants to work and and get that gig for the asking,
I on the other hand am Expert Plus Plus in older technology - RF technology. It not a subject that is taught in USA except a chapter or two from a book. 95% of GUTS of a Satellite is Analogue with minimal digital required. Bottom line is that there are so few of me around to do the Hardware. Its what I loved as a kiddlet and what I love in my older years.
I have virtually no competition and more work than any one person can do. FRINGE Benefit is Comic Con Passes and hotel rooms - All expenses and I get to bill for my time.
Tomorrow night is special film preview in IMAX with a full San Diego Symphony to add value added sound and most of the cast will be at Comic Con for this event

Did you, in fact, dance dance dance with Reid during the Grate Meetup?

Just imagine the value of a Masters degree that is only worth Burger flipping minimum wages. His ability to read English is no more better than my ability to rite it
