[FRIAM] Fwd: ABM

[Douglas Roberts]

Guess who sounds like a cranky old fart now?

I'm positively jovial in comparison. (My preferred methodology,
coincidently).

;-}

Oh, and btw:  the world is generally comprised of objects, which has the
interesting effect of influencing most modern sw developers to prefer OO
environments (and methodologies, tee hee) over the older procedural ones.

So, with that, and the fact that it is now 6:07pm Madison time, I will put
my glass (object) of beer down on the table (object) and head down to the
room (object) where my poster (object) session (object) is to be held in a
few minutes.  Where, I will be spending the next two hours describing to
people (objects) the intricacies of our new TeraGrid (object) MRAC (object)
project (object).

Cheers,

--Doug
