…until reboot 8 starts. I just saw the detailed program and I’m feeling like a kid in a toy store. So much to see, so much to hear, so much to learn… Until I’m flying for Denmark however, there’s a few things to get done: install a new version of one of the rails projects I’m working on Watch the soccer match between the current world champion Brasil and FC Luzern on TV with my son Meet a potential new Rails client Work at an existing client (replacing the RoboSource Control system they use for RoboHelp with Subversion) Answer a bunch of questions from other clients See the Jon bon Jovi concert in Bern get some sleep pack Technorati Tags: reboot ...
