I look like I know stuff

Posted in JavaOne at 2:57 am

Weirdest thing happened to me Wednesday.

As I’m walking out of the convention center, a security guard stops me. That, in itself is odd… they usually only stop you trying to get in.

He says to me, “You look like you would know the answer to this. Do you know about Comcast movies on demand?”

That kinda threw me, because Comcast isn’t the cable company in North Carlina. After a second, I realized what he was talking about and said as much. He then asks me if I know how it works. He thought the movie was downloaded to a chip so quickly you get the whole thing in a few seconds. I explain that it’s downloaded on the fly, yadda, yadda, and so on.

“That must have been a hard program to write,” he says.

I guess it was and I guess I look like I know stuff. :)
