Tomorrow I am off to Portland, Oregon with ActiveState for their annual participation in OSCON. I will be working at our booth greeting folks, showing off our products, and handing out t-shirts.
Of course I will also be attending lots of interesting talks over the next few days as well. I am most looking forward to the Apache mod_proxy talk as we are now using it to load balance the ASPN web site thanks to Gozer but I haven’t had the time to learn much about it. I’ve included the talks that I will be attending this week below. I am most looking forward to those in bold.
