Everyone has their own favorite method for choosing conference sessions. Macromedia provides separate listings by Track and by Level for MAX. I personally prefer to choose sessions first by speaker.
Since the Macromedia site doesn’t include a Sessions by Speaker list, I enlisted a little help from my track manager and compiled a list for you.
I don’t usually blog anything off-topic. Check this out: http://j-walk.com/other/conf/index.htm

Has anyone noticed that Macromedia’s stock has been trading at a 52 week high and has gone up 40% in the past few weeks(1-year chart)? This is really good news for Macromedia and in turn for us (especially if you happen to own a few shares yourself). The announcement of new products must be driving this but I really wonder what else could be having such a big impact. Their stock price went up 10% alone yesterday. This makes me wonder do stock analysts actually care about a world-wide Macromedia Usergroup event?
Microsoft dropped the price for MSSQL Developer edition from $499 to only $49. You can find it at some locations even cheaper. This is a great buy so anyone working on a Windows box has no excuse not to have MSSQL.

That’s important because MSDE can be used in production but doesn’t include any client tools. You can use MSDE in production and buy MSSQL Developer for the client tools to manage your production box.

Ran into a few instances of Thread Hijacking today. Not sure if the term is clear–what I mean is if one person posts a question in a forum starting a new thread and then another person posts a new question as a response in the same thread. Is anyone else bothered by this or is it just me?
We end up with two different questions in the same thread and two different conversations intermingled. Intermingling is nice in the real world–especially for those of us computer geeks held up in basement offices that look more like NASA than my real NASA office–but for forum threads, intermingling is bad.
It’d be easier to get answers to your question is you post it as a new question as opposed to a response to an existing question. It’s more curteous to the original poster and to everyone participating.
