Off We Go, Into The Wild Blue Yonder

Here we go, off to O’Reilly’s Emerging Technology again. Slightly different mindset this time as (a) I’m not speaking this time and (b) the OPL Book’s print run means I can’t sneak a few Wiley books into an O’Reilly event. Shame really. But the value of the people I can meet, be around and talk […]

I Really Like American Airlines

Say what you like, but there’s nothing like a personal recommendation to get business, and then having good service to keep someone coming back. Such is my experience of Transatlantic flights, of which I’ve just booked the second such return trip in my life so I can attend Emerging Tech 2005.
Last year I was getting […]

Tickets Bought, Now How To Get There…

Well, that’s me bought the ticket for next year’s Emerging Technology Conference - The O’Reilly jaunt down to San Diego. Admittedly it’s a bit further away for me than Rael & Co, and I’ve a few more problems to work through - like where will I stay, will Crow get through US Customs without a […]

Emerging Tech 2005

The Call For Proposals for Emerging Technology 2005 has went up on the O’Reily website. Given the fun I had last year launching the UIQ version of the OPL Runtime, I’d like to be invited again. I only talked briefly about OPL last time, so this time I’d like to grab one of the three […]

Strange Sights At Etech Reloaded

I’ve been racking my brains over this blog post ever since Bloglines picked it up for me (come on, who else has an RSS Search Criteria on their name). I think it was the Irish couple next to me during Dan Gilmour’s talk, but I’m not 100% sure. It’s the typical conference trick from Ewan […]

O’Reilly - Highlights (Part the Third)

And after the welcome distraction of ConConUK and OPL, let’s get back to looking at some more of the memorable sessions (for me) at O’Reilly’s Emerging Technology Conference 2004 (sometimes called Etcon, sometimes called Etech, always mentioned on IRC…)

ConConUK Report

ConConUK Rocked!
Okay I paraphrased Danny O’Brien there, but his contribution to ConConUK shouldn’t be ignored. He’s blogged the origins of ConConUSA (but as usual, they drop the USA as we’ll naturally assume the world defaults to America), and thanks to that, and everyone moaning “why don’t we have something like that,” ConConUK was born, wiki’ed […]

ConConUK Is Over

…and it seemed to have gone quite well. More later, like after I sleep.

NTK Plugs ConCon UK

Just like they promised last week NTK plugs ConConUK…
We have no idea how this happened, but it does appear to be happening. After an engagingly shambolic West Coast debut, ETCon catchup CONCON comes to the UK this Monday evening, at the Dover Castle pub in Weymouth Mews, London W1. Unless someone zips back from this […]

Lots of Balls In The Air

Slight delay in getting some more Etech reports up - from picking up the poisioned chalice of organising ConConUK (big thumbs up to Danny O’Brien for some helpful “here’s how I attempted to cock up ConConUSA and failed” email todo.txt files), through getting some (lots!) of code checked out for something new next week (can […]
