Teched Europe - Limping around Amsterdam.
Well I am still in some discomfort after the back injury. There are three things going on:
- Shooting pains down the left leg.
- A limp in the left leg
- Numbness in parts of the foot and leg
My physio told me that this is most likely to be because of compression of the nerve that although is now clear can take several months to heal. I had another MRI scan a couple of days ago and it looks like the op went fine.
My question is now whether I will make it to Teched Europe next week, - the hotels are full now and I cannot really walk across town each day, I can also only sit for 20 mins at a time. I am the technical track owner for Dev tools and Web development. Although I am not talking next week anymore there are still some speakers that I would really like to meet, either again or for the first time. Here are some suggestions for you:
- Hacked! by Jeff Prosise. Yes security can be fun you just need to present it right, and Jeff will do just that. The bad guys already know this stuff but the good guys don't. Go if you get the chance.
- Regular Expressions by Roy Osherove. This is about what you can do with regular expressions in .Net. Lets face it we all parse stuff and hand write the code again and again.
- Dave Platt. www.rollthunder.com will be there. I have asked Dave to present on whats new in the framework and also a nice technical talk on Exception handling.
Ok if I get a nice hotel near the venue then I will see you there. I am the tall guy with white hair and a limp.
