Future of Web Apps.

I've had to carry over LOTS of holiday time at work, it involved me writing a letter to the CEO and explaining why I hadn't gotten round to using any leave yet, and why I should be eligible to carry it over..."making elegant and life enriching systems this past year - I've been so busy I've forgotten what the word holiday meant."

This request was very graciously granted, yet still I dragged me heals about actually sorting something out... doesn't help when trying to coax a friend, who is afraid of flying, that a lovely transatlantic flight would be very cool - we get a damn security alert because of some crazy fundamentalist folks decide to scare the heck out of everyone.

So after seeing this conference online, and then dragging my feet some more, being told to stop "dicking around" by my colleague, I booked it. I am so looking forward to it - I'm going here...



An at, 1157982600, I should land at San Francisco international. Then on Wednesday I will be attending the
I will attending "Two-day conference focusing on the development technology you'll be using tomorrow"

Attending are some of the leaders of this new industry 2.0 that we're currently forging into. If you are attending, I look forward to meeting you. This will be my first conference and I've decided to fly around the planet and attend on my own. If you see me humbled in a corner looking lost and afraid, come over say hello.

I will be posting a couple more times before I go and will cover some of my thoughts prior to attending. One of the great things about this conference is the single train of talks - you don't have to choose between x or y talk. You get to see them all, fab.

I haven't booked accommodation yet, I am still researching. If anyone can suggest a great hotel, preferably with breakfast wi-fi that is reasonably close to the Palace of Fine Arts Theater I'd love to hear from you. One of the lovely conference people offered to help but I didn't know what to say when she asked what I wanted to pay... this being my first time I don't know what I can get for my money in SF.
