Tropical Workshop



Arrival at Gove Operations.

This is our first day at Gove Operations in Australia's Northern Territory. Last night we flew from Cairns to Gove, a two hour flight. Imagine our surprise, when a hot complimentary supper was served to everyone in economy. Definitely a thing of the past in North America. The weather here is very pleasant, 22 to 28C - day and night.

This morning, Geoff has started discussing advanced DBDOC workshop topics with the maintainers of the system. Tomorrow and Wednesday, the mornings will be spent with the technical staff reviewing and introducing

Hyperview topics. The afternoons will be spent on further advanced DBDOC topics such as error review, uses of Watch Window and inclusion of AutoCAD in the build. Everyone is enthusiastic about DBDOC.

The site is extremely safety conscious. This is the first time I am wearing steel toed boots, as well as everyone else in the IT office area (where I have a work space).
