The Goldfish Chronicles

Forgot to mention the lunchtime giveaway that NFJS do on the Saturday and Sunday. Eric, having just bought the last t-shirt or something, remarked that he’d probably win.

Lo and behold, his was the first name out of the hat (4 drawn on each day). He chose Mike Clark’s Project Automation book (yep Dave, no t-shirt for you).

To drive things home, mine was the last name out of the hat on the Saturday and I walked away with David Geary’s JSF book. I’ve just finished months of technical-reviewing for Kito Mann/Manning’s JSF book, so I’m a bit up to my eyeballs with it all; but I always like David’s books and am sure I’ll be turning to it at some point. His AWT/Swing books are my Java GUI bibles.

So our company managed to grab 2 wins out of 4. On Sunday, Mike, didn’t get pulled out of the hat, so no pressies for him.

All in all, it looked like there were maybe a hundred people there. I think there was room for about 130 people maximum.
