Which is why PyCon runs from Friday to Sunday - most people only miss
one day. If a company can't afford to have an employee away for one day, they
better be paying him/her big $$$, since they are obviously indispensible!
FWIW, every tutorial and session was recorded, and will be posted on
blip.tv over the next week or so. I'll post a link when they are ready.

I had a nice evening with (among others) Dino Viehland, who heads up
the Iron Python group at Microsoft. He gave one of the keynotes, and
demonstrated using Iron Python in Visual Studio to access some classes in C#. I
actually saw several people running Windows on their laptops, which is pretty
unusual for PyCon. You would have felt all warm and fuzzy there.
