Topic: Jtalk

This day started with some stress, Nicolas and I whipped up the last details of our co-presentation on Jtalk (Nicolas decided to skip Iliad) - and my Eris demo suddenly got b0rken. But I managed to fix it and our presentation was very well received - it was great fun!

Sooo…. I actually managed to order a HP Touchpad 32Gb here in Edinburgh to be picked up at Comet within 48 hours. I ordered when it was still a whopping 429£, but when I went to pick it up I got it at the UK discount price of 115, and I will get the VAT back too.

Each year I try to attend at least one developer conference. Earlier OOPSLA was a given but it lost its appeal quite a few years back and now it is not even called OOPSLA anymore. As a die hard Smalltalker I instead attended the ESUG conference in Brest 2009 and it was easily the most rewarding conference I ever have attended! Missed last year in Barcelona but this year I am going to Edinburgh for a week of Smalltalking.
