It was a good one :)
First time I have seen you present but defiantly worth the travel into London :)

Great presentation, you wrote that in 2 hours on the train??
I wonder if you could point me to the script on Ed Eliot’s site. Can’t find it in the downloads/scripts section. Would be really useful for deployments.

Thanks Ara, but the 2 hours one was the “Casting Shadows” presentation, this one took a tad longer. Ed’s script is available here.

very cool looking presentation… looks like it would have been an interesting. Kind of a tease just to get the slides sometimes :-)

I’d like to re-iterate what everyone else has said – a fantastic and very funny presentation. It’s nice to see a break from the norm.
Oh, and its always nice to have my scripts pimped! Ara’s highlighted something I’ve been thinking for a while – stuff is getting lost on my site. I must work on that.
