WoOOOOhoooo Well I just got home, had my shower and time to reflect on the last two days at MXDU. Aside from the three wankers who tried to hit on the three girls I was with, and who failed miserably... man I never realised how cheesy men can be when doing the "girl" impress thing.... But... MXDU by all accounts and I can fully concur, WAS THE HUGE SUCCESS WE ALL ANTICIPATED.
To those whom I meet, but didn't get time to really sit down and have a chat, I apologise as I had a pretty full agenda and I really wanted to see everything, so for that I apologise! I also would have to say a big Thanks to Geoff/Andrew and the Daemon team for a hella good time / event, you guys pulled it off and all those days stressing out have paid off in the end !!!.... So Geoff, about that charting solution *hehehehehe*.. I Meet Ben! w000t! yes I touched him and sure I was asked to stop grabbing his ass, but hey, fame, fortune and stalking are all the same :D but seriously, I had a good chat with ol Ben, and man this guys just a legend.. more so in that he can take a Boring subject like XML and keep your interest.. natural speaker that man, and we should all pray he never goes into Sales as I know I'd be a fleeced git by the time his sales pitch is finished. Jesse Warden's like a tightly wound spring waiting to just detonate, despite my shock at how animated he truly was, he did a good job in the presentation and nailed it well. Andrew Muller YOU ARE a Freak man, but yeah thanks for the snippets of your hidden secrets and I hope to hear more about the ongoing's :D Brandens keynote set it all off, and I enjoyed his walkthrough of flash, then, now and the future... you can see why he's respected around the world and to his credit for fighting jet lag and taking the time to not only do the preso but spend time with all. Macromedia guys where all awesome, its nice to know that they are all really approachable and just get a buzz out of the MX Products... Oh before I ramble on, I pitched this idea to Robin (mind you it was beer`o`clock time so its usually the hour of crap being shot back and forth).. but.. Devnet should really have a "MX" TV Show using FlashCOm or something, to really keep us all CNN but MXed :D Really had a blast, and I think that we all would of atleast walked away with one main thing and that is "INSPIRATION"... FlashMX is the core, even more so and I think it also toppled my hesitations with making sites semi-flash compliant? you know what.. lets all just say "F*)@K waiting for the world to decide on whether they want FlashMX or not on their web browsers.. lets just kick into it and lets just make all these kool concepts that Branden was yabbering about come true by MAKING them go FlashMX... let them cry, but when their experience is that much richer... watch them come forth with praise. FlashMX / FlashCom - To quote Andrew "...its a sleeping giant..." and I 100% agree even more so. Anyway I'm posting reviews on my blog (http://macrofun.pvpers.com) aswell as I thought I would mention to those who missed the events in the past three days that Marc Dimmick has passed the torch onto Barry Moore (Nat CFUG Manager). I think Marc's done an awesome job in keeping CFUG in Australia and happening, and I know working from working with Barry that I think 2003 will be a good year to roadtest some ideas :D .... I have also been given the task by Marc to revive some life back into the CFUG sites, and with Barry holding a big stick and my weekly paycheque hostage, I think this will be the one project I _actually_ finish. (FYI: I get asked to help out with projects or I stupidly volunteer for them, but I loose focus and never finish them.. and that's basically the kid at a theme park syndrome in that you just have to ride all the rides as quick as you can!)... So I'm all ears to any ideas, suggestions concepts, freakish things you need or want.. bring it to the table, as I know STEVE has tonnes so come on guys/gals bring some life into our MX shit. Ok, so that's me and Sorry again to those who I missed but so many sights, so little time... its MXDU babey. P.S LETS HAVE ANOTHER MXDU SAME TIME NEXT YEAR, HELL I'LL START SAVING NOW...
