ALIVE @ Samford University

Viva Las Vegas! After a three day drive that included quick visits to friends and family along the way in Texas and Arizona as well as brief visits to the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam at night (very cool!), and finally to Las Vegas, I arrived just in time to showcase my Ajax Performance Monitor Toolkit. The kids love the pools here at the hotel including a wave pool and lazy river.

My presentation went well, and there seemed to be interest in the toolkit and porting it to work with other server-side scripting languages. Download the powerpoint slides (3.28MB). If you are interested in trying it out, you may also download a preliminary version of the toolkit (644KB) with a very limited amount of documentation.

After a late start, we made it into Gatlinburg, TN just after 1AM. We got to drive through light snow falling, and see all the beautiful Christmas lights with hardly any traffic on the roads at all. Now it is on to the very serious business of wrapping up my presentation that I am due to be giving in exactly 12 hours. I am close, but not quite finished with my primary experiment. I should have it wrapped up soon and will update this post with a copy of the powerpoint once its ready.

Update - the presentation went well! Here are the powerpoint slides:
