The whole team went over to the pavillion where the gold medals
were awarded (for outdoor events) and had a couple of pictures
taken.

We had two rooms in this building. There were lots of people in
both rooms and no air conditioning. We left the windows open
alot but, occasionally, the police would make us close them
because the emperor was traveling down the street. I had very
little reason to wear any warm clothes because of this. This
was the "Systems room". The machine labeled
www.nagano.olympic.org
isn't really the web-server though. The real servers were put
in four strategic locations around the world.
Another reason to leave the windows open was this incredible
view.
After a couple of weeks of this non-stop work, we had an official
planning meeting at the local bar. This just happened to coincide
with the Superbowl game. We talked the local bar owner (an American
style bar) into piping in the game and opening at 8AM on Monday
morning.
