Bits and Bobs from Monday

• Conference faux pas 1: leaving your phone on by mistake and being the only person in your sessions all day that manages to get a very obvious text message.


• Conference faux pas 2: sitting the end of the aisle in the Corn Exchange (which has the narrowest foot-room in the whole world) and then everyone being too polite to ask to push through. Result is an almost empty row right in the middle of the theatre. Doh!


• First proper swearing in a session by a speaker award goes to Aral Balkan.


• All the speakers in the 5 sessions I went to had Apple Mac Laptops.


• Microsoft bought everyone free beer for half an hour after the sessions finished. Talk about good PR!


• Why are there no sessions on Flash Media Server 2 at the conference??
