Overheard conversation fragment: I'm over here by the slot machines

While on a trip to Las Vegas, I happened to overhear a woman talking on her mobile phone who, from her body language, was clearly trying to meet up with a friend. We were in the casino of one of the major hotels. She said, “I’m over here by the slot machines.” Yeah, that narrows it down.

I’ll be heading to Vegas for the Niney Awards. If I don’t see you at the ceremony, I’ll meet you by the slot machines.

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
