Some Things Were Never Meant to Happen
Remember the amazing story that Michael Arrington, from TechCrunch and Crunchnotes, shared over at his weblog about his recent adventure while travelling and staying in Spain? Remember his incredible experience about the ordeal he had to go through ? Interesting one, right? Well, folks, I got one of my own but this time the other way around: me, living in Spain, travelling to the U.S.A. Hummm, travelling actually may be an understatement, because here I am, at home, writing this weblog post feeling quite disappointed that I didn’t make it in the end to the States to present at the IBM Collaboration Best Practices conference, just because something, somewhere, went wrong, awfully wrong ! But too disappointed, and perhaps too upset, right now to tell you all about it.
Thus whenever I feel I am ready to weblog about it all I shall certainly do so, for the time being I am going to enjoy the weekend. So to all folks out there who wanted to hook up with me while being there I can only say that I am so sorry that in the end I will not be able to make it this time around. Then the rest of the story you will get it afterwards; when things have quieted down a bit.

Hi Luis, what a shame that you did not make it - both for you and the conference audience that will miss your presentation.

Hi Per ! Thanks much for the kind comments. It surely is disappointing and I feel bad that I will not be able to make it nor present. I was so much looking forward to it but I guess that from all these experiences one gets to learn a few things for the next time, which I hope will come up soon. We shall see. At least, I know what will happen next time around.

[…] While I am still gutted about the fact that I didn’t manage to make it to IBM’s Collaboration Best Practices last Friday and currently taking place this week (I don’t think I am ready yet to share some of the experiences I went through -perhaps some more on that later) I thought I would let you know about the good old saying that when one door closes a few windows will open up to bring forward some further opportunities. Well, it looks like that has just happened to me because just this afternoon I have got a phone call indicating how my new Lenovo (Former IBM) 3000 N100 (Link in English and Spanish) was just about to be delivered to my front door. Hoera ! After three weeks of anxious wait it actually turned around just with the perfect timing ! W00t! […]
