Thanks to all the people that follow mytweets and blog posts. 2010 hasn't been the greatest of years for me personally but here is to 2011 being a lot better! (with more posts)
With the topics not coming until later September/early October the speaker list for Scotch On The Rocks 2011 has been released
scotch-on-the-rocks.co.uk/blog/index.cfm/2010/9/1/SOTR2011-Speakers-Unleashed
The 2010 conference was a great 2-day ColdFusion overload of information and networking opportunities so if you haven't got your ticket for 2011 go now!
Get 'em while they are Super Cheap, Fairly Cheap, or Kinda Cheap ... but just get 'em! Scotch on the Rocks is Europe's Longest Running ColdFusion Conference and in 2011 its gone back home to Edinburgh for 2011!

The title seems like the beginning of a joke but its all to do with Scotch On The Rocks in 2010.
So to answer questions like: Where the hell is SOTR2010?, is it going to be a tour, will it be in Amsterdam, go over to blog and read all about it
And the price of the ticket should make the tightest of managers happy - €0,00 (thats £0.00 or $0.00). You read that right, its free as in beer, so check out the scotch-on-the-rocks.co.uk site for more information. Below are the dates and locations. I'm already registered for London and trying my hardest to get to the Amsterdam one as well.

This is a shout out to anyone attending Scotch on the Road!
Conferences are a great place to network but with the amount of developers attending you might miss the chance to ping a question, or buy me them a beer. Also with Scotch being in 3 different places this year saying you're going isn't enough.
So in an effort to put bloggers/twitter'ers together leave a comment here letting everyone know your name, blog and/or twitter account, and the venue you're attending!
For the record I'm at the London event this year, and my twitter account where I tend to ramble, rant, talk crap is twitter.com/andyj
