I'm sure it won't be too hard to watch those RejectConf videos by Monday, and I have copious notes from RailsConf that I keep meaning to finish writing up and blog. I could take notes on the RejectConf stuff and then distil both down to a 5-minute recap for Monday. That said, maybe I missed all the ground-breaking sessions, but I'm not sure anything of note actually happened or was announced/released at RailsConf this time round, (with the exception of RSpec
1.0 which I don't use). Of course maybe all the good things happened at RejectConf - I shall find out. <br><br>So anyone with a more up-beat opinion of RailsConf (and this could be from reading all the coverage, rather than being there) might want to provide a counter-point to my miserablist attitude.
