Flash on the Beach ‘07
Sunday, 04 November 2007I’m heading down to Brighton this evening for this year’s Flash on the Beach conference, and right now I’m feeling like a kid on the night before Christmas.
Last year I didn’t plan my schedule in advance, and ended up missing some sessions I’d really like to have seen. This year I thought I’d be ultra-prepared and decide what I wanted to see in advance. With that in mind, here is my personal schedule for the conference:

I’m not sure how much of the after-hours partying I’m going to get to. Last year my fellow Yahoos and I sloped off to a local bar and spent the evenings drinking beer and shootin’ pool rather than partying, which is much more my kind of scene.
Anyway, if you’re lucky enough to be going the the best Flash conference on the planet, I’ll see you on the beach.

rauri | Friday, 11 January 2008 | 3:09 pmHi, just wondering how that flash on the beach thing went? always been keen to go to something like that but unsure how it would actually go down in reality. sitting in conferences day after day would remind me too much of uni.
