Hi everybody. If you were wondering who the heck was speaking tonight, well... that's all my fault. We've known for weeks (!) but I was late getting to the web page.

So you don't have to go running off to it, Valerie Buckingham and Bill Herndon will be discussy mEconomy's privacy and intelligent agent software, and since they are making it open source this month, we'll probably get to hear a bit about that too. Privacy's getting pretty important now that the gov is getting extra snoopy.

Sorry I can't be there myself -- I'm flying out of town for family out in the mid-North, so I'll be in line at the airport whil you're all having a grand time...

SEND US YOUR RSVPs please! The restaurant wants to know how many to cook for tonight.

I *will* be there next month though. Michelle got us a speaker from Sendmail. I like Jon. It'll be fun.
