Friday Thought: Now Monthly Thought: Conferences

Ok, I've been slacking of late, but I just haven't had the time. So from now I will have a monthly thought on the first Friday of the month.

So the first is the fact that we have announce the Ticket Prices for Scotch on the Rocks 2008

ᆪ199 + VAT - Early Bird (Available until February 29th 2008)

ᆪ299 + VAT - Full Price

We are also making available a Company Flexi Pass, which allows you to send a different person each day of the conference. Who you send is entirely up to you (note that only one person can use this pass at any one time.

ᆪ299 + VAT - Early Bird (Available until February 29th 2008)

ᆪ399 + VAT - Full Price

Additional Group pricing will be made available soon.

Oh and of course we have a fun video to go with it:

With the announcement of the Ticket Prices AndyJ has done a quick comparison of the prices.

So next year looks great for all us Adobe Developers in Europe and now that there is a Developer Relations Team for EMEA we should all be happier ;)

Friday Thought: The Move to Mac

I got thinking today that now that I have totally moved over to the Mac for my development needs I need to document somewhere what I have installed and what certain replacement applications I use for the PC ones I once used.

Friday Thought: Twitter The Info Sharer

I think the purpose of Twitter really has changed since is launch. Today for example I think I've seen more How Do I .... , Who has.... and Anyone .... Questions then normal.

Which I think is great, it means people can ask questions that inspire great answers from everyone on their list, which will of course share it back to everyone. The main tip I would say is to ensure you use the @UserName command before it, so if your replying back with a Thanks that worked and others on you list don't have that person on theirs they can go to your twitter page and click the name and find out what the great response back was.

Sharing of information in this day and age is a must; I remember a long time ago someone said to me that I was like a squirrel hoarding his nuts, using nuts as an analogy for Information. I would share anything and I'd admit in those days I didn't share much, as I was young and it certainly was an advantage for me, especially when people used the age card against me :) But now I'm older and a little wiser (I hope) I'm happy to share information that I have as I know I don't know everything and thus will need others helps. As the old saying says what goes around comes around which I do believe in, both in a good way and the bad way.

So if you've not got the Twitter Bug give it ago (Easy with Google Talk), the information you will learn will astound you, if you have the right people on your list ;) So add me for starters.

Also announced today is the Scotch on the Rock Twitter account, start following SOTR and be the first to know about additional speakers, ticket pricing and availability of tickets as well as other fun and exciting news for the Longest Running UK ColdFusion Conference.

May the Scotch Be With You
