        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)

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
