Rizwan and I embarked on a hectic 2 week+ business trip starting with a customer visit on Friday August 24. We left for Atlanta on Thursday and then drove to Columbus, GA to meet with Synovus, one of our largest and most sophisticated customers. It's always great to meet like minded technologists that really know how to use technology to drive their core business. John Woolbright, CTO Synovus and David Mize VP Applications, are 2 such individuals that really get it. No buzz words, no pretentious high-level hand waving - it's down and dirty with such customers - 24x7, mission critical deployments that have to scale and be robust.
Our flight back to Boston was delayed because of sever weather, so we decided to move our European trip forward by 1-day. It was the right choice, giving us time to recover and also for me to spend precious time with the kids and Haroon & Co.
Sunday evening, we embarked on our trip to Europe (London, Rome, Zurich, Prague, London and back to Boston). It was all business, except for the weekends and evenings of course.
