My PostGIS talk was featured on the slideshare front page

I want to thank Josh Berkus for inviting me and Paul Ramsey for slide feedback and Josh Livni for being there and Brian Hamlin for both feedback and being there.

Haven’t posted in a while

1. Been extremely busy traveling and talking to customers
Webinars with Nokia
Classes with Nokia
Customers and partners in Columbia, Brazil, the Pacific Northwest
Talk at LinuxWorld

2. Find myself using my blogging energy to post shorter snippets on Twitter (@TheSteve0)
3. Life changes that I will blog about soon.
