I\u2019ve been off visiting designers and some of their resellers asking what they think of <A title=\"Solid Edge Simulation\" href=\"http:\/\/www.plm.automation.siemens.com\/en_us\/products\/velocity\/solidedge\/overview\/add_on_apps\/simulation.shtml\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Solid Edge Simulation<\/A>, what they think we could do better, what they think works well, and what they want in the next version and version after that. Since this is a new product, I\u2019m also trying to build some relationships so that they can get their needs communicated to me well after I\u2019m gone. If you were one of the people I talked to this week,<STRONG> thank you<\/STRONG>. I know you have busy schedules with work to do and I promise your time spent with me won\u2019t be wasted.<BR \/><BR \/>Of course, now that I\u2019m done with all my meetings and presentations, I\u2019m ready to fly home&#8230; or am I? My son sent me the first IM about the <A title=\"Volcano in Iceland \" href=\"http:\/\/www.msnbc.msn.com\/id\/36611426\/ns\/travel\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Volcano in Iceland <\/A>and it wasn\u2019t long before I started seeing others are now stranded in Europe. This morning I got word that my flight is canceled. I also see that the <A title=\"COFES \" href=\"http:\/\/cofes.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">COFES <\/A>conference is the US has a few international travelers (I hope you have a good extra stay in the US <IMG style=\"border:0\" src=\"http:\/\/siemens.pmhclients.com\/images\/smileys\/grin.gif\" alt=\"grin\" width=\"19\" height=\"19\" \/> )<BR \/><BR \/>Eating dinner last night, I overheard many <A title=\"conversations from travelers\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/burhop\/status\/12299971417\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">conversations from travelers<\/A> trying to rent cars or get places on the trains. It is proving difficult. I\u2019m keeping track of a few Siemens PLM colleagues also stuck in Europe or others trying to get here. It\u2019s very stressful for a lot of people and I really feel bad for those traveling with children. So, in my case getting \u201cstuck\u201d in Paris for the weekend after a very good week meeting with designers is nothing I can complain about.<BR \/><BR \/>If anyone wants to talk about Solid Edge Simulation or social media, catch me here <A href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/burhop\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/twitter.com\/burhop<\/A> It seems I\u2019ll have some free time <IMG style=\"border:0\" src=\"http:\/\/siemens.pmhclients.com\/images\/smileys\/grin.gif\" alt=\"grin\" width=\"19\" height=\"19\" \/><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Those that follow me on twitter know I\u2019ve been traveling in Europe this week.
