Taken by my colleague Luiza. I trust she won’t mind me nicking a few!

There’s a strange convention in SLC when you cross the road. The ideal thing is press the cross button, grab an orange flag, then wave the bastard thing as you cross. Naturally we obeyed the law, all grabbed a flag and away we went, looking like twats.

This is the Port O’Call (the leftmost building), the fine hostelry we spent a large part of the week in. They’ve got a shedload of different beer, some excellent music and pool tables!

There’s no shortage of geeks at Brainshare. According to the estimates, there were about 6000 attendees this year, quite a jump from the last time I went in 2001. One attendee was Scott Lemon which was a bit surprising given his current job and the lawsuit between SCO and Novell. He takes good notes about the sessions, worth a read.

Anyways, there are lots more piccies over at Luiza’s site, so if you’re interested take a looksee.

    I was. I was sooooooo glad to get back, but then you realise that back is not quite the place you thought it was. Nappies, stroppy toddlers and tears abound back here.

    I don’t know where I was happiest, back in single man land or here, in married heaven. I’m not quite Cliff, but I’m not far off.
