I truly feel that I have the coolest job in the world.

Two weeks ago, I was asked to speak at the IOTC Conference in Dublin on June 18-20. Not only that, but they will be streaming live video of the event as it happens!

Few conferences record even the audio of their lectures, so I’m not sure how they managed to pull this off. They must be using some of this new open source software that everyone is talking about!

They tell me that you’ll be able to view it via a link that will be posted here, next Thursday at 10:25am Dublin time.

I’ll also be hanging out with members of Ruby Ireland in Dublin on Thursday night.

Then I’ll be hurrying back home to be with my son, who aspires to be the next mini me.

At PeepCode

The ever diligent Ryan Daigle has updated our Rails 2 PDF for Rails 2.1. If you purchased the first copy, you can login or revisit the link originally sent to you for the free update.

If not, now is a great time to buy a copy!

And then…

Also, I just bought by plane ticket for RubyFringe where I’ll attempt to resolve my degree in Philosophy with my current career in computer programming. There are definitely some interesting talks scheduled!
