What a day! It feels like Stephanie and I walked most of central Boston (and it was a lovely sunny day for it too!) I also splurged on a new camera (a Canon 400D) so I can better document FlashForward and the other conferences I'm speaking at, and an iPhone (because I really, really wanted one and we don't have them in the UK yet!)
On the matter of the iPhone: Of course, now that I have one, I know that Tuesday's press conference will announce their availability in the UK! Oh well. I'm on my way to unlocking mine (activated it via Independence/Jail Break) and I should have it working on my T-Mobile sim tomorrow via the simfree software hack!
Oh yeah, and the big news: SWX Ruby! There's a Ruby implementation of SWX RPC now thanks to Jed Hurt. It's currently in Alpha and works with Ruby on Rails. I tested it on my Locomotive install today and it worked like a charm. Go Jed!
FlashForward registrations are tomorrow. Come by and say hi if you're coming over!
This is so cool: Jed Hurt has released Alpha 0.1 of SWX Ruby, the Ruby implementation of SWX RPC for Ruby on Rails.

I've decided to document the Flash Conferences I'm going to be speaking at in the next two months, starting with FlashForward in Boston. Expect interviews with other speakers, sneak peeks, and other cool insider tidbits.
I'm off to get a camcorder (any suggestions?) and a DSLR either this afternoon or tomorrow (maybe tomorrow is better as Stephanie and I are off for a day trip to New York and B&H is right there!)
Can't wait for FlashForward to start!
I'm in a cab, on my way to Heathrow airport in London to start on the first leg of my two-month conference marathon. Or, as Relly put it in the lovely good luck card she sent me yesterday, I'm embarking on my SWX World Tour to celebrate the launch of SWX PHP 1.0!
