Interesting conversations

Lauren, from TalentEgg.ca, and I met yesterday and discussed everything under the entrepreneurial Sun. I think that we talked for about 1.5 hours, but it seemed like only minutes (well I guess it was technically 90 mins). What a pleasure it is to talk to someone who understands the challenges of being in a startup. We could have gone on for many hours more.

I also attended the Ruby on Rails Project Night last night. As amazing as this sounds, I actually found the technical presentations interesting. For sure they were way over my head, but watching the passion with which the presenters talked about different philosophies and techniques programmers can use with Ruby on Rails, really made it interesting.

Anyhow, the countdown to the HRPAO tradeshow is on. I am extremely excited about getting face-face with employers. There should be some significant awareness of civiside at this point, which I hope will convert to interest in posting jobs.
