              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.

                ...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)

                              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

                                          - all the phone numbers you give people are SkypeIn numbers. - you find yourself often having a conversation about how keyboards aren't as good as they used to be. - your 2 yr old daughter can log into a PC, use a mouse to play Purple Place on Windows 7, navigate youtube like a veteran, take photos with a compact digital camera and review them on the LCD, but can't speak English yet.
