Rather hot and sticky day in Chicago with threatened thunder storms. They never materialised though.

Worked through to about 8.00 pm and got a long way with the deployment side of the portlets, so should be finished in time for the flight home on Friday.

Had an excellent pork chop back in the hotel. I was worried it was going to be very fatty, American pig can be that way, but it was well trimmed and came with a lovely gravy and mashed potatoes. I know not everyone’s cup of tea.

I did not get asked if I was attending the Hardware show today. This must be a first. I also did not get to speak to any nuke-em now Americans at the bar. On Friday I had to listen to a large Texan who had lived in Mildenhall UK, and his views of the world.
