Frankarr: Agenda, or posterity
Videos from ReMIX 07, Postmix: http://blogs.msdn.com/postmixau/default.aspx
Things to remember for next year's ReMIX:
- Party down in a better venue, where there is no refurbishments.
- Improve gender balance of presenters. Fat, Forty-year-old Fellas don't own the web!
- Do more "industry" web things in the agenda (thanks Susan from JWT).
- Food and service excellent from Crown Promenade. Even Lee Brimelow agrees
- Podcast/videocast?
- WebJam needs to be explained better beforehand, although it will be a brand by next ReMIX.
- More lounges, more power points and free wireless. For the love-of-god, free wireless. See lolcat below for the visually minded.
- Twitter-ers anonymous corner where we can meatspace each other
- Integrate ImagineCup a little tighter into ReMIX as an event.
- It's not designer vs / and / or / with developer. It's making great online things that does meaningful stuff for the users. All sorts of people are involved in this; from infrastructure architects to ux people. Need end result back to back-of-envelope plans explained.
- Innovate your Web Knowledge. WTF? And don't get me started on people_ready.

Just for the caption of the photo: Left to Right is Paul Jenkins and Will Hughes (me).
And the reason for the stupid expression is that we were trying to kill each other in Gears of War on the XBox 360 consoles that were set up.
(above copied from my comment on Steve Clayton's blog)
My only real complaint would be that there was no (free) wifi. Obligatory LOLCat reference: http://tinyurl.com/2lr4h3
The Crown Promenade provided wifi, but $20 for a day's access is incredibly steep. I'd have rather given up the copy of Expression Web, in return for Wifi.
I'll post more on my blog a little later...

U R the Xbox 360 master.
Have noted wifi for the record, and will use this blog entry to beat MS marketing people over the head for next time.

Thanks for the kind words Nick, it was great meeting you as well
Now to knock Neil back and have you write a JD lyrics server (at some point I'll do something with music to ensure that works, I have a wonderful singing voice
Keep in touch,

So I guess that makes me your third favourite NZer then... after Neil and JD
Oh and by the way JD is a very passionate singer (don't know about the wonderful voice part) - but I couldn't get him to stop singing while walking through Melbourne Central - so bring on the JD lyrics server 
Take care and keep in touch
