Thanks to Andrew and Robin from Rocketboots for organising it, Geoff from Daemon for the presentation, and Red Square for hosting the NSW event. It was a good turn out.
The whole 10th Birthday thing is a little mind-blowing when you think back over what has happen in the world of computing in those 10 years. In fact look at what has happened since 1985, 20 years ago with personal computing beginning to take off. Yet the last 10 years seem to me to have come and gone very quickly. The internet has gone way beyond what it was originally designed for and it is still finding its feet. I predict that in the next 10 years we will see more than one crisis of confidence in the security of the internet, but ultimately a solution will be found and this will come from a merger between Macromedia and Pixar animation, and together they will launch a new enlightened communication medium for everyone codenamed: Finding Neo. Tim Buntel will not be named Spandex Man* of the year 2008, but will in fact be named the John Glenn of the CF world - or maybe the G-Man of the New Century - I just know I've seen that regulation haircut codified somewhere. Inspired by the Adobe PDF and FlashPaper revolution, major corporations will replace the great Aussie dunny with bidets in an attempt to truly embrace the paper-less office. All of Ben Forta's children will surprisingly grow up well-adjusted. And Daemon will diversify into luxury VR holidays and in a caring sharing gesture to its "roots" community, will include free personality options for developers. Which brings me around to the reason I started this posting, where then is the DevCon 2000 "Mega-Developer" opener? Cheers Oh and that T-Shirt/Dress/Tent, if you tie off the sleeves you can be really eco-friendly at the check-out, even with a large shopping list or jumbuck. *Apologies to Tangerine (why do they remind me of "The Scared Weird Little Guys"?). --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/
