I walked into the CSS Hands On session about 30 minutes late after attending most of the Advanced CF class. There were 4-5 rows of 2 computers per side. Each computer had 2 people tapping away at a keyboard and large LCD screen. The instructor, from MM I believe was running through the process of creating a CSS based

Walking out of a presentation I took note of this guy, sadly, I couldn't seem to get a good photo of him. Is it just me, or does he remind you of the quirky mad scientist in Independence Day.

I'm hoping to get a better view/picture of the funky looking terror ride building at California Adventure (a Disney park)

Ed Sullivan, the user group coordinator/relations at MM played baseball pitcher with t-shirts to promote the user groups.

For an hour plus during the social, user group managers walked around in a baseball type jersy handing out raffle tickets. In theory, people were to approach us, inquire about user groups or our shirts and after a brief overview receive a ticket. We used the opportunity to shmooze and promote our user groups (and the program as a whole). Most people don't realize that the user groups give customers/users a great, inexpensive way of networking with fellow designers and coders while enhancing their skills and receiving tech support. User Groups are spread out around the country and in many other countries around the world. For those of you interested in joining or starting one, check out the website and give Ed a ring or send an email to your local user group manager.

This is one of the lucky 2 winners of a full boxed copy of Studio 8! ($999 US!)

I had dinner with Jared from Kentucky, Mike from Connecticut and Troy from Minneapolis. We had a nice long CF discussion over dinner at the Outback Steakhouse. Towards the end of our 15 minute late evening walk back to the hotels we talked about an application, SeeFusion? That has been mentioned once or twice so far. It helps to diagnose CF server (or is it Java specific) crashes and performance problems. Troy had heard about it and Daryl Bantarri who used to be active in the KC CFUG before he moved back to Minneapolis and left Allaire Consulting is a frequent advocate of it. I will definitely have to check the app out when I am online.
