Back from Apachecon

Made it back from Amsterdam safely on Saturday evening, and I've pretty much been asleep since then, as I try to recover from an intense week of mental and social workout - in particular, the end-of-week beers with the Hippo crew, which I have only a hazy recollection of but that I'm sure was a huge amount of fun. I remember karaoke and a painful ride on the back of a bike, more bitterballen than any single human should eat in a lifetime, and a seemingly endless amount of beer. Pretty much a typical night out with my Dutch friends, then!

They say the best way to learn something is to teach it, and doing a talk is always an excellent example of that. Over the last few months I've been poking and prodding Cocoon 2.2, and now I have a much clearer understanding of what it can do. Over the next few days I'm going to try and communicate that to everyone else by updating the documentation, and by rehashing some of my presentation into a "2.2 Howto".

Meanwhile, there's a mountain of mail and news still unread, and a house that's definitely showing signs of neglect. Back to work ...
