Calling all nerds - TechEd 2011
« on: August 15, 2011, 12:26:24 PM »
So - who's going this year? 8)

D4D and I were talking about it, wondering if many Swaggers will be there, and whether there would be any interest in getting together some time.  :cheers:

TechEd on the Gold Coast - where the sun, surf and pubs are all neglected by 2000 nerds who CHOOSE to sit inside darkened lecture theatres all day instead. And we wonder why no one will take us seriously...  8) ;D

Thanks!
Matto :)

Love to go but $1680 registration will be spent on more infrastructure so we can teach our apprentices. Things are financially tight in Qld Gov atm.

We have to start thinking about what sort of a world we are going to leave for Keith Richards after we are all gone.

Glad I'm not the only nerd around here though. Would have been a good chance to meet up.

That's why it was approved because it was not useful, try buying a new bunch of blade servers & then P to V all the old physicals. They just laughed! Seriously though our IT budget was hit fairly hard this year. Hope it is better next year as we have a heap of PC's coming out of warranty. Our old motto was "do more with less", now it's "do heaps with nothing"

our servers are out of warranty, we only just got Dell to come out and extend it, and the tape backup unit is on its own.... no warranty at all... we already have the emails laminated and ready to ram up their arses when everythin dies sayin we told you so....

I've been going for years when my bosses have been paying for the ticket... I'm running my own company now and somehow the price tag just doesn't seem worth it!? :)

Which tech tracks are you guys attending?
