It was a great conference - I really enjoyed it. The Robinson Centre was a very nice place to have a conference - the rooms were comfortable, the meeting rooms were very nice, and the central lounge area was comfy - nice couches, and WiFi provided by ThoughtWorks - that WiFi setup made all these posts far easier to make than they would have been otherwise. There was a lot of interest at the Cincom booth - lots of people seemed to be pleasantly surprised that Smalltalk was alive, kicking, and ready for anything.

I suppose I should mention my own session, which ran during the last time slot - I spoke about blogs and RSS. Martin Fowler had some good suggestions for me on the organization of the slides - I'll be revising them before I give this presentation again. The discussion was very lively - as it turned out, a lot of the audience (about 20 or so) didn't have a good grasp of what RSS was before the talk. I plan to be back next year - great show, wonderful time!
