Some time ago, I noted that “Building 109 Conference Room A” was a code word for the bar at the Azteca restaurant next to building 109. Alas, that code word is no more, because the Azteca restaurant has been demolished to make way for an apartment complex.
But when a door closes, a new door opens. I’ve learned that the Chipotle’s next to Amazon’s new downtown Bellevue office “Everest” has been nicknamed Everest Conference Room C.
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.
