2 Misses and One Hit
The hit: I recently got sent away to the 2006 Exim Course in
Cambridge. The main presenter, Dr Philip Hazel, who's also the author of
Exim, was a good presenter. The material seemed well rehearsed, nicely paced
and covered a fair amount of ground over the three days - he also knows
pretty much everything about Exim so the audience questions were always
quickly answered. There were also two guest speakers, who had an hour
each. I was a lot less impressed by those sessions. I didn't really pick
anything useful up from them. If you want to learn Exim I can recommend the
course - although it might be better if they cut down the number of breaks
and made it a two day course instead.
And now the misses. I was damn ill while on the Exim course (and it seemed to take a handful of the other attendees out over the week as well) and I got back the day before the second LUG Radio Live event. Which I then ended up missing by being stuck in bed for another couple of days. And I lost my room deposit. From everything I've heard Jono and the others did another amazing job. Due to my being off-line for most of the week I also missed the announcement of the d.Construct tickets so I won't be getting to that either. Grrr.
