It would be absurd if your wife (a fellow geek) needed to be reminded of your website URL. :)

True, but I was referring to geek level scale :)

...or... ...you find yourself iscussing template metaprogramming in the bar. :doh: (just coming back up from ACCU 2010, culminating in a session on "Abusive C++" which demonstrated way too many fiendishly bad but entertaining ideas. Long blog post to follow once I've caught up on the editing)

You know you're a geek when... You buy a new TV and open it up to look inside before you turn it on.

Just information overload. :-O

I don't think they're up yet (though slides from some sessions are[^]) In the meantime however there are summaries of all of the sessions here[^] to give you a flavour of what the conference is all about.

The only way I think I would do template metaprogramming :rolleyes: is after a few stiff drinks.
