-Mexico Trip 2005-

Tuesday March 8, 2005

In the morning I woke at 5:30 and got out of bed, no use waiting for the alarm. I had breakfast and then picked up my things from my room. At 7:00 I was in the lobby waiting for Guillermo. I had a cup of coffee and was reading my book, when Rik de Groot came to join me. There was also somebody from High Point. We talked about our first impressions and Rik said he was enjoying the trip as well. It was 7:30 when Guillermo showed up. We went to the office and I was preparing for the training at 8:00. I had some time left to write my diary.
At 9:00 we started with the training. Everything was perfectly arranged, the network was all set up, there were 7 notebooks, everybody had nametags, and coffee and other refreshments had been arranged. There were 14 participants and Guillermo came in for a little introduction. The training went fairly well I believe. There were only some minor technical problems during the training. Actually we were ready at 12:00 and some people staid to ask more questions. When everybody left I checked all the PC's again and the Terminal Service connections. I send an email to Jamie Firth.
I went down to the IT department and called my wife. Then I worked on my diary some more. Ricardo had to take care of some issues before we could go to have lunch. So I met with Simon again to go over some of the issues we discussed yesterday. We talked about RPG and I showed him some ILE-RPG and some Free format RPG. He seamed really interested and so we converted some of his programs into ILE and made a couple of small modifications. Then we compiled the programs just to convince Simon they would still be working properly. Simon wanted to have a source of information on ILE-programming so we searched the Internet for the Programmers guide and reference.
Around 15:30 Ricardo came back and we left for lunch. We were going to have a quick lunch but unfortunately we did not return until 17:00. Because everybody else was already gone, Ricardo brought me back to the hotel. I had planned to go to a different restaurant of the hotel, but was not at all hungry. So I sat by the poolside for an hour reading my book and walked through the hotel taking pictures. Then around 20:00 I went to the bar and had a few drinks. I went back to my room and watched some TV and finally fell asleep.
