A Marathon...

If you don't see me updating asktom too much in the next two weeks - it'll be because:

• I'll be starting the week in Brussels, Belgium for the OBUG on Tuesday March 29th
• I'm in Paris, France in the middle of the week - Wednesday March 30th
• And finishing in Madrid, Spain on the 31st of March

then I'm off to

• Rome, Italy for Monday April 4th
• Milan, Italy for Tuesday April 5th
• flying up to Oslo, Norway for a 'geek cruise' on Thursday through Saturday

And then you'd think I'd be heading home - but not quite - I have a quick stop in Orlando Florida on Monday April 11th for IOUG Collaborate and then I go home :)

I can relate...

It is not often a simple picture and caption will make me laugh out loud - but this did. I feel like that some days... Most days now I guess :)

Something you don't always see..

Something worth money for free. Check it out - space is limited and will probably go pretty fast. Tanel knows his stuff.

Another Day, Another....

Another day, another day of Real World Performance. We are bringing it East. The first four events where held in Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle and Phoenix. The next are are in

• Houston Texas, Wednesday April 20th
• Atlanta Georgia, Friday April 22nd

Click on the link above to get more information and see some feedback from the first four events. It is a day long event - with early bird registration breaks if you register before March 18th! It'll be $75 off if you register early. That is just $100 for IOUG members and $150 for non-members. Given that you get a delicious box lunch as part of the deal - that's a pretty good price.

This is being done in conjunction with the IOUG - they are organizing the logistics, we are doing the talking. After March 18th, it'll be $175USD for IOUG members and $225USD for non-members.

Very Nice...

Recently I wrote about a Chrome plugin that allowed you to block sites from being returned in google search results.

They have gone a step better - they've made that functionality available to anyone logged into google. With any browser! Very nice.
