Tuesday...

Keynote: gotta admire the chutzpah of someone to turn an OOPSLA keynote into a product demo. Ugh. I walked out in the middle...

AM sessions: "Unified Garbage Collection...": Pretty interesting. "Mock Roles not Objects": the JMock guys. Good tutorial on why mocks/stubs/stand-ins are important in TDD. Stuff I learned and internalized a couple of years ago, but based on questions afterwards it seems like lots of other folks are just getting on board with the idea.

PM stuff: Ward's talk was excellent. "Methodology Work is Ontology Work" by Brian Marieck in the Onward! session was a fasctinating mix of philosophy-of-science, vetinary education, and discussion about perhaps why XP is gaining popularity.
