That picture ....

So the picture of us working in the office the other day caused some consternation and confusion, and it was hard to describe how it was taken. So here's a diagram that hopefully makes it clearer:

Genome layout

Basically, David stood in the corridor on the other side of the atrium, and not about 30 foot in mid-air outside as it may have appeared. The office we were in has a window looking in on the atrium...

Here's a couple more pictures from inside the room, looking out.

Gianugo and David in room 210Drawing on 210 window

If you look closely at the one on the right, you can just about make out David taking a power nap!

I guess that's taken all the excitement out of it now. I still think it's a cool photo, though :-)

I wasn't confused at all. After hearing David play the piano at GT2003 I don't think it would be a problem for him to float 30 feet in mid-air to take a picture if needed ;-)

Was there anyone NOT using a Powerbook, by chance?

If owning a Powerbook is a prerequisite for joining your company, I qualify and would certainly apply. ;-)

Ugo:It was a 100% powerbook meeting (and so much better for it!). 80% of Orixo are powerbook-toting now, and I'm hoping we can brainwash the remainder fairly quickly :-)
