Our only full day at sea meant lots of class time in four tracks.
The evening ended with both Rasmus (PHP) and Larry (Perl) giving
Q-and-A sessions. Larry's first 95% of his Q-and-A were consumed by
giving the same talk he'd done at CodeJam (at my suggestion),
which is good because there were only 3 questions after that. {grin}
Later in the evening, I realizd I hadn't caught any of the onboard
show entertainment, so I grabbed my Canon 20D and a 1 Gig card, enabled
motor-drive and ISO 3200 mode, and snapped away at the show. The
show was fair, with a good deal of costume changes for 45 minutes,
but what I was really testing was the camera's autofocus and motor drive
(five frames per second for 25 frames!). The pictures were shot
through a clear plastic handrail, which shows up occasionally as
vertical lines in the gap between sections. I was very impressed
with my new 20D... in fact, I wrote a review about it at
O'Reilly's Digital Media site.
