Memories

I'm currently working in my hotel room here at the Fairmont San Jose. It's weird - the last time I was here I was 21 years old on what might have been my first business trip ever (Interop '90 for those who remember such things). I have very fond memories of that trip, and damned if the hotel doesn't have the exact same (superlatively good) french fries!

Just out here for a couple of meetings tomorrow then I take the redeye home.

Mashup webinar, and hey I'm, er, tweeting?

WSO2 does free webinars every now and again about our products and general SOA and Web Services topics. Jonathan is going to be giving one on the Mashup Server this coming week. Check it out if you're interested!

While on the subject of mashups, one of our fab engineers, Tyrell, whipped up this cool Twitter + Google Maps mashup in just a few hours. It's pretty excellent, and it was serendipitous to find out about it around the same time I started tweeting (or is it "twittering"?). Now I want the same functionality, but filtered to either just the folks I'm following, or the subjects I'm tracking... (update - Tyrell added friend filtering the mashup. Rockin'!)

So if you do the Twitter thing, I'm at http://twitter.com/gdaniels!

First post to Blogger

This is an experimental post to check out how blogger does the do. Thinking of moving over here to get comments and all that happy stuff!
