Comic Sans at the Boring conference

Calling @theclaud

Sounds like my kind of gig this. They had the creator of Comic Sans give a speech. Did you know he created it for a talking dog in a Microsoft interface called, Microsoft Bob and that he drew it by hand using a mouse. He wasn't really expecting it to catch on and be used for funeral invoices.

I'm quite intrigued by other guests at the conference too. Like a bloke who shows you how to make omlettes in your hotel room using the iron.

I'm getting a ticket for next year.

I bet he designed Clippy too, but he's keeping quiet about that one...

Clippy was one of the default persona of Bob, wasn't he? Office 95? Or 97? I used to train in MS Office when it was current (in some companies) and it drove me mad, I'll tell you that.

"It looks like you're writing a letter .." - made me see red!

I've got my appraisal coming up, and they've just redesigned the proforma. In flippin' Comic Sans. :cursing:
I shall be changing the typeface before I print it out...

A boring conference is one where Steve Ballmer talks about the future of Sharepoint. :ohmy:[/QUOTE]

I already feel sleepy. I went to a roadmap one for Dell once. It took me all my willpower not to gnaw my arm off.
