It was nice seeing you at SXSW and I don't think anybody got much done after the Yahoo party or Avalonstar for that matter. Did you get a chance to check out After the Brief from Jason Santa Maria and Rob Weychert? If not, you should check out the video on the podcasts page. It was definitely a good one.

Thanks Gabriel. Of course Nick created FeedDemon, not FeedBurner. Fixed.

Are you sure Nick Bradbury created FeedBurner, the feed enhancement service? Or did you mean FeedDaemon, the Windows feed reader purchased by NewsGator?

I won’t argue with that.

I don’t think you got much writing done after the Yahoo party somehow!

Don’t worry Ian, the writing mostly happened in the early hours of the morning, after the parties, so I didn’t feel like I missed out on anything except sleep.

Likewise, was great to meet you at last!

Well done, Matt, for getting these written up. Last year it was my job to do that on behalf of SitePoint, but I just found that all that note-taking and then writing in the evening got in the way of getting to the parties with open bars and free schwag early ;-)

Was good to meet you, Mark and Matt after all this time :-)

Our pleasure Andrew. What are panels? I must have missed that bit.

It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it ;-)

On behalf of the rest of us back here at SitePoint HQ, I can't thank you enough for the sacrifice you've made by going to SXSWi. Between the drinking, the socializing, and the occasional panel, you've proven what a dedicated team player you are and provided an inspiration to us all ;p

Thanks for the history and explanation. Much appreciated. It makes much more sense now.

Yeah, we all appreciate the hard work and early mornings (as well as jet lag) put in to the draining task of reporting for the betterment of the Sitepoint community!
