It's now 8:30am on day 2 of CODI 2006 in Salt Lake City and I guess most delegates will be breakfasting at the moment. Let's catch up with the action… Over at The Gordian Knot, Susan "suzyq" Johns-Smith has posted her analysis of the opening keynote speeches: » A Cautious Beginning Ben has confirmed that [...]

DUG/HUG 2006 – Day Two
The only problem with offering to do presentations is that they don't leave you any time to blog about the actual event itself!!!

DUG/HUG 2006 – Day One

This is something I originally coded in January 2006, briefly blogged about in mid February, then [...]

The UK is currently broiling itself under the first decent spell of sunny weather we've had this year, and the annual DUG/HUG (Dynix User Group/Horizon User Group) conference is just 9 days away — let's hope the weather holds until then This years conference is [...]
