Details of the presentation I’ll be giving at WebDU 2006 – Reaching the Peak – developing on the ACME platform – are now available on the WebDU site. I’ve asked a couple of times before for information on what people want to see in this presentation and got nothing. So now I’m begging!
Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease [...]
I asked before… No response. So I’m asking again.
In my presentation at WebDU 2006, what would you like to see and hear related to ACME-platform development? I’ll make the presentation available here as slides and notes and Breeze (if I can).
Woohoo! I’ve been accepted to speak at WebDU 2006 (formerly MXDU), the Asia-Pacific’s leading web technology conference! I’ll be speaking on the topic Reaching the Peak -

The conference isn’t until the [...]

My hosting is done by the great folks at www.logjamming.com, where I pay a measly US$5/month for my hosting.
