Ok, I'm kidding. I'm not going to stoop that low just to get a post in today...but since I'm sure nobody would be interested in what I learned in my conference, I pretty much have nothing else on my mind.
It's a technical conference. About a hundred people in the world are interested, and they are all here. There are also about 50 people here who are bored to death, but their bosses are here too so they can't skip out and go sightseeing. I can tell the difference between the interested ones...we have all used up multiple pads of hotel paper on notes, and are trading URLs written on the backs of business cards...while the bored people have one page of notes: doodles of concentric circles and stick figures.
Oh, and I got a plaque during the awards today. It just recognizes me for taking so many hours of training classes, but it is my first plaque ever. I'm absurdly looking forward to getting back to the office so I can hang it up. I have reached a level of geekdom I never dreamed possible.
