Simon Phipps's personal commentary

Storm in a coffee cup [WebTech]

Robert Scoble may turn off his comment system so I had better say here what I said there about his comment on my recent Msft experience. He says

I guess Geek Cruises is another one of those shows where you better expect to only hear one side of the story.

Well no, this is a one-off, as others assert. I also spoke at the XML Excursion and the stellar faculty (Neil has a knack for getting the best) were well able to disagree, mix with the delegates and share a dinner table, so please don't for a moment decide to do anything other than go on Geek Cruises - which by the way make for a paradoxically economic alternative to land-based training. He's also advised to check the other side of the story by Joshua Allen (who doesn't have a comment system but does carry a grudge that I responded to his blog once upon a time) and I'd agree, there are always two sides to every story - one attendee commented positively in by comments system, but I'm sure there are other opinions out there.

Robert (in various comments) also wonders

It's real strange, though, since Jeff Prosise is one of the speakers involved and he's one of the nicest, most professional, and smartest people I've ever dealt with. I guess I should call him up to get his side of the story.

I would agree totally with his assessment of Jeff and myself wonder now that I'm on land whether it's just a storm in a coffee cup.
