    - 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.

      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.

        These are 10 commandments of being geek (There can be many more... This is not bible) : 1 > You still love your good old pants. 2 > You like pizza and cola 3 > That computer in your bedroom is connected to more equipments then just modem or router. I hope you got a switch too... 4 > Lots of computer books in your bookshelf. 5 > Robotic alarm clock .. maybe D2-R2.. 6 > You still like Star wars, Lord of the rings, star trek,.and movies and series on those line. 7 > You remember lines from those movies and use as often as you can.. 8 > You like to upgrade your gadgets every now and then. 9 > Friends asks you to fix their computers. 10 > You feel amazed by how you remember your passwords for 50 different techy-geeky subscription sites.

              I'd blame it on the Brain farts.. But let's be honest, it really is more like a Methane factory between my ears some days then it is anything else...

              Don't forget the user testing. Seeing everything is compatible and easy to use.
