I just turned on my computer after 3 days of absence - ouch that's a lot of unread mail. The last two and a half days I 've spent in Offenbach - promising candidate to the "Germany's least attractive city" award - to attend the Flashforum Conference. I can say that it was absolutely worth the 5 hour trip trip. Besides listening to some very inspiring sessions it was great to meet some of the brightest minds and coolest nerds that you'll find in a radius of 1000 kilometers:

Ralf Bokelberg - that guy is not only the most serious programmer I know, he's also a dangerous serial dancer. (And it looks like he woke up earlier today and posted quicker than me). Anyone planning a flash conference: invite this guy as a speaker if you want some real good content.

You may know Holger Kohnen alias hOk for his innovative Actionscript ideas. What you don't know yet is that he's a table soccer devil. I swear that some of those shots were beyond lightspeed.

And I really envy Manuel Dahm alias beachmeat for his not-far-away future life in Barcelona. 5 rooms! Ha - I will definitely come for a visit.

A big thank you to Sascha Wolter and Mark Marc Thiele for making this happen. Greetings to everybody else that I didn't mention - it was a great time!
