Two things to blog to you about…

Firstly, if you work near Munich or Frankfurt, Germany and your company might be interested in having me do some Rails training at the end of the month, I’m going to be there for a conference and would love to talk to you. The dates I’m looking at are January 28 or 29. Email me at Gregg at Rails Envy.

Secondly, if you live in the South East US or you’re just looking to get away from the winter weather, it’s not too late to get tickets to Acts As Conference, Orlando Florida’s yearly Rails conference taking place February 6th and 7th. Orlando is simply beautiful this time of year, and the conference is pretty close to Disney/Universal so you have no excuse not to bring the whole family! Then again, if you’re too busy making snow angels, I’ll understand.

Jason and I will be speaking there along with a great lineup of speakers including Yehuda Katz doing his first post Rails + Merb Merge talk, Steven Bristol talking about how to make Successful Rails apps, Bryan Liles is continuing his ‘Test all the f’n time’ mantra, and Orlando’s own Tim Rosenblatt talking about using OAuth with Rails.

Should be a great time, so if you’re looking for a way to get out of the snow and into the sun, this may be your best bet. Hopefully see you there!
