Sorry folks but I won't be able to attend as today's my 'Wedding
Anniversary' and I've already made dinner plans.
Was in KL last week speaking at the GK3 conference and mentioned our
HKCC activities in reply to one of the questions. I had expected Joi
(CC Chair) to be there, as he was scheduled to be on the same panel,
alas it didn't quite work out. Oh well, next time.
Glad to hear that Jon's going to be a stone's throw away, 2008 should
be an exciting year for us.
Cheers and season's greetings.
