Posting This from the Applied XML Dev.Conf.
Here. I'm posting this using the wireless access from the room where the Applied XML Developer's Conference will be going on tomorrow (testing from the back to make sure it works). If I wanted to, I could plug into the readily available power as well. Very spiffy. If you'd like to participate in the conference, head over to the conference home page for the link to the message board and post to your heart's content.

Applied XML Dev.Conf. Talks Coming In
Here. Today is the deadline for the Applied XML Developers's Conference and almost half of the slides are in already. I like to leave things 'til the last minute so that the conference always has the speakers freshest thinking. Of course, one of the perks of running a conference is that you get a peak at things early. These talks look really fun. Can't wait to see them presented.
