Looking forward to MIXing in Las Vegas

This Saturday I’m flying to Las Vegas to attend Mix conference. Microsoft Austria invited me (all these years of iResistance are finally paying off!) to visit the world’s capital of gambling – of course I’ll report my trip on this very blog and via Twitter.

Mix Konferenz in Las Vegas

Plus I expect to do a couple of video interviews – I’m not sure why Microsoft called this place “The Commons”, but there is definitely a hang-out and socializing place, which I will take full advantage of since some sessions are quite code-related. Read the rest of this entry »

Barcamp in Klagenfurt: My bags are packed

Barcamp Klagenfurt 2009Lookin’ forward to Barcamp Klagenfurt – it’s been a while since the last un-conference, and I’m expecting an international crowd: after all, Slovenia is very near, and I’m quite sure that some Swiss, Italian and German web entrepreneurs and bloggers will drop by. If you’ve never visited the city of the “Lindwurm” (a mythological dragon, the town’s landmark), there’s a good reason now to travel to Carinthia. Read the rest of this entry »

Pictures from Barcamp Vienna

Last weekend #bcv08 took place at HP headquarters in Vienna. The weekend was incredibly intense, special kudos go out to all the guys from Bratislava who came to join us.
