DataRage - the event for database professionals - Call for Papers

Embarcadero Technologies has begun planning for our first virtual conference with exciting and helpful content aimed specifically for database developers, systems analysts, architects and modeling specialists, database administrators and database & security architects – DataRage – to be held the week of March 16, 2009.

You are invited to submit abstracts for consideration as a speaker at DataRage. Please submit an abstract for each of your proposed presentations. Please read all information available at http://conferences.codegear.com/datarage/c4p carefully.

The deadline for submitting abstracts is January 30, 2009.

Abstracts will be reviewed by a panel of Embarcadero employees and we will notify submitters within 2 weeks of the abstract submission deadline regarding the status of proposals.

Thank you for your interest. We are excited about hosting this DataRage event and the participation of our community is vital to our success. We look forward to seeing your ideas!

Thanks!

Lino Tadros 2.0

My good friend Lino Tadros had a close call recently, and writes about it here.

I visited him in the hospital just before New Year's, and he was already on his way to recovery. He had us all very worried for quite some time, but it was great to see him doing much better.

The thing that convinced me that he'll be just fine, was that he was cracking jokes like before - we walked around the perimeter of the hospital and raced old people (they won). He stopped halfway around the perimeter and ordered a double cheese burger with fries from the nurses' station - they ignored us like they heard that joke every day. :)

Lino - I wish you the best of luck in reaching your ultimate goal!

Love you, man!

ThunderBird and RPC over HTTP anyone?

I'm looking for something that allows me to use ThunderBird with MS Exchange using "RPC over HTTP". Secure IMAP and secure SMTP are not an option in this case. Is there such a thing?

Thanks!

CodeRage III - and a request

Thank for attending CodeRage III. It was a great success due to all of you!

I'm putting an APB out on a recording of the Opening Keynote. It appears that we had LiveMeeting audio issues before we even realized that we did. My monitoring (and recording) machine fell off a couple of times. I have most of it, but am missing some parts. I can edit it together, but I would love it if someone out there recorded the opening session and could send me a link to it.

Special thanks to Henning Swiboda who captured the whole closing keynote flawlessly!

Thanks again for being part of an awesome event!
