Today [[NWC]] (New World Computing) took a brief pause from game development to listen to [[Trip Hawkins]] (president of [[3DO]], [[NWC]]'s parent company).

Twice a year, Trip makes a formal visit to talk about the company and where we're going as a company. It's a nice break from things.

However, Trip wasn't half as exciting as [[David Richey]] (our tools programmer) who sat next to me. Turns out David is coming down with the flu.

Over the course of the meeting, the air conditioning didn't turn on. With over 50 people crammed into a room, it got hot very fast. As the minutes passed, I could see David slowly whither.

I thought he was going to vomit. So basically, for most of the meeting, I sat envisioning how I was going to get out of the way when the volcano erupted.

Luckily, the volcano did not erupt. David left in the middle of the lecture and I haven't seen him since.
