Back home from X World 2007 in Sydney. Important things we learned:
- Canadians got their own keyboard layout because they pointed out Australians have one (I suspect the hand of Quinn in there somewhere)
- New Zealanders still don’t have their own keyboard layout
- Somewhere out there is a school still using several hundred eMates. They rang Apple to ask where they could get replacement batteries (hint, you can use AA’s)
- Canadian ice wine is yummy
- Don’t expect many (unhungover) people to turn up to your presentation in the morning after the conference dinner
- There are negative levels to the Capability Maturity Model
- A Canadian, an Iranian and 13 Australians walked into a German restaurant…
- Apple staff hate being asked about the iPhone 🙂
- The AUC’s DevWorld is meant to be happening around easter time 2008
