Wow. So, last week was CodeMash – every MidWesterners favorite tech conference. Back in the fall, I submitted 4 talks to the CFP. Much to my surprise, they accepted 3 of them – an 8-hour “Precompiler” workshop, and 2 1-hour talks. Well, IMHO, I kicked ass in all three of them – especially my new […]

This year’s annual Women of CodeMash photo Last week I was fortunate enough to attend my second CodeMash conference in Sandusky, Ohio at the ever entertaining Kalihari waterpark resort. It was a blast – as expected. Many old friends were seen, and even more new friends were made. Many new things were learned and shared. […]
