Currently siting in the Springfield airport, flight is delayed already, but still should leave in time. Randall is on the same flight. And… Traci just showed up! Hurray! The last few days have been really crazy. Unfortunately,  managing the recorders took a lot of time so I missed several of the sessions and most of […]

Chris Mills | Developer Relations Manager,Opera Software ASA I had a few chances to talk to Chris and just had to make it to make it to this presentation. Before starting he warns us that he is going to be “impossibly english” for the next 45minutes. Opera’s MAMA project structural search engine has returned some […]
