                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.

Long blog post to follow once I've caught up on the editing)

                                Oh jeez, I had to put up with that for 3 months when I moved into a new place 100 miles from my mum. You know you're a geek when you have a freephone tech support number just for your family to call you with tech problems. Or you set up a free cellphone calling group for the same purpose. I've done both. FML. :-| codegecko
