I’m not going to blog the whole conference as it has been done by Amit and on the official blog, other that a quick top 5 and bottom 5, so here goes (in no particular order).

Bottom 5

  • Sydney weather
  • No wireless at the venue
  • Waking at 3.30 am (because I usually wake at 5.30)

OK, so there’s not 5

Top 5

  • Watching someone use Jaws
  • Dave Shea typing the Bright Creative CSS from scratch (he can type fast under pressure)
  • Doug Bowman showing tricks of the trade
  • Dean Jackson, the very funny autostenographer (we need some excuse to get him to NZ)
  • John Allsopp, philosopher

I did learn: I need to learn more about design. My HTML and CSS skills and knowledge are OK, but I’m no designer.
