Ready for Highland Fling

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007 at 11:09 pm

I just finished my slides for the Highland Fling conference and ordered a mini cab to get me to the airport in the morning.

I am looking forward to this a lot, for several reasons:

  • I am taking a plane but I don’t have to brace myself for jetlag
  • Alan (the organizer) is a lovely lovely chap and it is great to be part of something new happening (HF could become big next year)
  • The lineup of speakers is quite brilliant and the different topics do quite nicely lead from one to the other.

Whilst I had to get the graveyard shift right after lunch I hope I’ll keep people entertained, awake and that they get something from my presentation.

See you there. I will also stay over the weekend in Edinburgh to see how pretty (or not) the city is.
