Serendipity

I just had not one, but TWO completely serendipitous conversations spurred by someone overhearing someone else saying a keyword (in one case, me hearing the name of my project, and on the other an ESRI developer hearing "Dilbert") and jumping into the discussion, and both of them could turn out to have some very important ramifications for work.

So given that all this happened because I dropped in to the tail end of Former Minion's session to ask how her talk went, I don't think I'm going to feel remotely bad about the fact that the reason why I missed her talk in the first place was because I skived off during a lull in the conference program this afternoon to go see a movie.

(Skyfall, which I quite enjoyed. Also, New Q = Maurice Moss + Eleventh Doctor.)
