Now in Exchanging objects with SOAP. And guess what the first thing Ian Kallen did was - hold up his book (which has nothing to do with SOAP)! Bahh. Now thinking about it...

Here's a photo of the connectivity room. Full of Macs! I hope they give them out after the conference :-).

SVG vs SWF: Question from the floor: If the Adobe SVG viewer is the only viewer available - then isn't that as propriatary as using Flash?. Answer: Other viewers are coming.

Aaron: Packing. Haircut. Business cards. Is packing three cameras and two laptops going overboard?

Today they seem to be checking who actually goes into the tutorials - yesterday it was access for anyone.

Now sitting in the SVG tutorial. Hopefully I will learn something. Yesterday was a slow day. There were not really any tutorials that really seemed interesting. The first PERL tutorial was too "in-depth" and the second was too much XML introduction. But today should be better.

Morning notes: I have never seen so many laptops in one place. And many, many of them are Macs. This morning I had continental breakfast in the "tent" - with 11MB WLAN access. That's fun! Lots of Mac-Talk.

Steve was looking for the NASA/Cocoon link. Here it is.

Meeting people: Met Steve Mallet by chance in the bar this evening. Interesting, seeing as how I had just read his weblog earlier today. Steve runs the Open Source Directory on the O'Reilly Network. Also: The beer seems to be stronger here :-). Someone else I will hopefully meet - or at least say hi to is Sam Ruby. He has signed up for the regular conference. How about a REST+SOAP BOF?
