Lots of fun stuff went on - I got to ride a segway, learned about a bunch of new goodies in the pipe, got a preview of chandler (Mitch Kapor's free outlook killer). I showed off a little [link\|http://homepage.mac.com/tblanchard/ObjectiveCLIPS\|thing] I've been working on. There was a Ruby on Rails demo by Ryan Davis and he said something like: "I defy anyone to come up here and use any other framework to duplicate what we\ufffdre doing in Rails as quickly. Except Avi." Avi, of course, wrote [link\|http://seaside.st\|Seaside]. "Whenever you find you are on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect" --Mark Twain "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." --Albert Einstein "This is still a dangerous world.

Chad Fowler and I did a talk on continuations at RubyConf and Avi made a surprise guest appearance during the talk via iChat.

Squeak overall has less good dbms connectivity than ruby. Not sure why exactly this is but it is something we need to address.
