Microsoft CodeCamp
I’m still in Vienna, but this Saturday morning I’ll be at Silicon Valley CodeCamp speaking on How to say no. My Mom would be so proud. Extra: my keynote from Blogtalk is online at Google video. You may or may not be able to tell, but I was fighting keeping my eyes open (it was 5 AM for me). Next time I speak overseas I’m going to factor in an extra day ahead of time to adjust my sleep fully.

Blogtalk Presentation
If you’re interested, the slides from my Blogtalk talk are online. The conference has a great program today that I’m looking forward to. I was hoping to get some Vienna pictures today, but right now there is the heaviest fog I’ve seen in my life. (Vienna is like the San Francisco of Europe.) Perhaps it will clear as the morning goes on.

Good Morning Vienna
I’m in Vienna through Thursday for the Blogtalk Reloaded conference. If you’re a WordPress user please come up and introduce yourself, I have stickers. 🙂

Wikipedia Spam
Sometimes I’m amazed at how much manual labor the Wikipedia uses. For example, how long can this type of spam protection go on before it becomes overwhelming?
