Friday, March 14, 2008 at 11:15AM I'm in Schipol airport trying to answer the eternal question "What do you do if you have five hours to kill in an international airport?". I've spent 3 euros on 15 minutes of internet time. But what next?
Travel Thursday, March 13, 2008 at 10:46PM This place reminds me a lot of San Francisco. Same nice weather. Same driving on the wrong side of the road.
Kind of similar bridge
Same amazing skies
..and they had a very nice conference centre too
I had a really good time over here. Next time I'm going to try to stay a lot longer.
On the way back to the hotel I passed a bus full of students who had been at one of my talks and were now heading home.
Frankly, I fear for them....

I'm sorry I didn't have any hardware to show you. If I come back next year I'll try and find space in my carry on for some toys.
Thursday, March 13, 2008 at 11:16AM After a very smooth trip last night I'm now in Lisbon at TechDays 08. I came along last year, to the sensibly name TechDays 07 and had such fun that I've come back again and to do two sessions. I've just finished the XNA one and it seemed to OK from my point of view (although I'm worried that I might not have mentioned the book enough....)
Where I'm speaking (they have lovely weather here)
As is usual for Portugal, I had a fantastic audience.

Middle
Right
After I told my first joke (the people at the back are sound technicians who are paid to be there....)
I had a great time promoting the book and VerySillyGames. I've got another session this afternoon. Wish me (and the audience) luck.
