I'm *not* speaking at Cloud Computing Expo 2008
Just a quick update, I was invited to speak at Sys-Con’s Cloud Computing Expo 2008 West (how’s that for a mouthful?) and accepted, planning on talking about SkyNet, S3, and our future use of cloud computing. Alas, my Inbox is so crazy, I failed to see the handful of emails the conference sent me asking me to sign a contract of some type. So I missed the deadline and they canceled my spot. (BTW, I can’t recall a conference ever asking me to sign something to speak, but this one does and I was full of FAIL.) 😦
So, I’m sorry, despite being listed on the program, I’m *not* speaking there this week. It was my bad – I just missed the emails (as I miss so many emails these days). But still, a phone call from them wouldn’t have hurt, would it?
Who knows if I’ll be on their invitation list next year, but the conference will be great anyway, so have a great time without me!
Speaking at Velocity next week

I’m thrilled that O’Reilly is putting on a great performance and operations conference, so I’m especially happy to be speaking there. I’m on a great-sounding panel, Success: A Survival Guide. I’m sure you’ll hear about our first few years where, like clockwork on the same days each year, we got massively hammered with traffic and what we did to handle it.
If you’re going to the conference, come say “Hi!”. I’ll be wearing a red SmugMug hat, as always. 🙂
Oh, and if you haven’t signed up yet, use ‘vel08js’ to get a nice discount. 🙂
