Montréal in August

Sum­mer wouldn’t be sum­mer without a sum­mer con­fer­ence or two. There’s some­thing about walk­ing the streets or sit­ting in cafes, talk­ing about tech­no­logy, in balmy weather (well, when it doesn’t rain like it did at last year’s CSW XML Sum­mer School in Oxford). This year I’m off to Mon­tréal for Bal­is­age in the middle of […]

Balisage Deadlines

Bal­is­age is this new XML++1 geek­fest, put on by some of the people who used to put on the Extreme Markup con­fer­ence, which is aimed to get the brain cells run­ning again after sum­mer. It’s being held in Mon­tréal in the middle of August, which means all those street-level res­taur­ants, and brush­ing up on French […]

Personal NV Musings

I just got back from the North­ern­Voice organ­iz­ing committee’s post-conference lunch.

Bravery

You can see bravery in places you don’t expect it to be needed. In the safe con­fines of a blog­ging con­fer­ence, for example. Read Meg’s post­ing, and Nancy’s response. I was in that ses­sion, and where Meg was brave enough to tape her pic­ture on the wall, I was not. I threw it in the […]

MooseCamp 2008

Another nice Fri­day in Feb­ru­ary for Moose­Camp; some­how the Moose­Camp day man­aged to score nice weather two years in a row. This year’s Moose­Camp was big­ger than pre­vi­ous years, and I think we’re get­ting to the limit of how many people we can take without los­ing some­thing. We also seem to be get­ting a lot […]

Energy Deprivation and NorthernVoice

There’s some­thing about these grey gloomy days that saps my energy. I’m still here, just not blog­ging much. I do post occa­sion­ally to my craft­ing blog, that seems easier some­how than this “main” blog. I’ll have to think about what that says about my blog­ging right now. I’m hop­ing that going to the North­ern Voice […]
