I second that. I wasn't sure quite what to expect, but it was very
well organised and executed. And thanks to our French hosts whose
hard work really paid off too! The talks were excellent, especially
Gavin M. Roy's lightning talk ;) : http://vimeo.com/7561950

Heh heh.... I was gone by then - glad it's been preserved on video! :-)

Yes. The conference could not be faulted. I had a great time. The
venue was perfect. I really love Paris. I want to go back very soon.

Meh - that one could have gone better. Possibly if I was slightly less
hungover for example (whose idea was it to have Cognac after beer, red
wine and scotch anyway?)

:-)

Do you have any more videos?

Wasn't that actually your idea? I would blame JD but I think he had
left by then?

Certainly not mine (I would have stuck with the scotch) - I have a
vague recollection that it may have been Simon.

Yeah, he had emailed me, but I was offline. He had some issues crop up
at work that he had to deal with.

Do you have any more videos?

Yes, I've got loads, but with their bitrate being 5 megabytes per
second (no, not megabits!), I have to re-encode them with a lower
resolution and much lower bitrate just so I can upload them.
Unfortunately some are better than others since my attention was torn
between trying to record it and actually watching the talks.

I had no idea that European beer was uhmm, twice as strong as US
counterparts. I knew I was in trouble when people (Dave Page) poured
Scotch into my water. It was time to go before I got into a LOT of
trouble :P

Hmmm....it's usually supposed to be the other way around - water into
Scotch, I mean. Mind you, a lot of people would say that mixing Scotch
and water is a mortal sin to begin with. :-)

Dave seemed to have an endless supply of those little drinks tickets -
it would have been *very* easy to get into trouble!
