all over, bar the shouting

Never name drop. De Nero told me that. Attributed to Reverend Horton Heat

WE05 is done... although I hear there are some extremely inebriated web geeks somewhere in some club, possibly still in Sydney, definitely depleting the world's supply of booze :)

It's hard to convey the Web Essentials experience without turning into a truly horrific name dropper, but the fact is that not only have I been lucky enough to see so many big names speak... I got to meet lots of them. I think the only thing better than hearing their words of wisdom was discovering that they are fantastic people as well :)

I tried to list the things I now Get or Get Better Than Before; but it started turning into a session-by-session report. I'll be doing something along those lines, just not tonight.

Suffice it to say that I wish everyone on my team could have attended and I wonder how on earth Andrew and I can do it justice when we report back (at the next Griffith Systems Design and Development Community of Practice meeting, for those of you playing at home; and I think we might doing WSG Brisbane as well).

Can I recommend this event highly enough? No :)

    Ben: I agree . . . WOW! What a terrific event, what a great time meeting everyone. I enjoyed your quotable quotes (got some good ones there!) and look forward to reading more from you. Thanks so much for your participation and enthusiasm.

    Most worthwhile hangover ever! ;P

    Don't worry about the name dropping, Ben -- I'll soon be posting a 700+ word name-drop-o-rama. To be honest though, it's only name dropping if you keep them up on a pedastool. (spl??)

    As Molly was saying to Lachlan, "These people are your peers".

    ^^ Rock on Molly ;D

    Sounds like a blast. It's always a pain to be half-way around the world when something very cool is happening in my back yard (well, more or less).

    Oh well. I am coming to OzeWAI, which is nice...
