Re: - Calling all Aussies

Hi Jim
I am trying to justify the cost of the trip as airfares plus 3 nights in a
hotel plus 4 days off work is significant, a point often overlooked by
presenters. I also appreciate that presentations cost a lot. Melbourne is a
lot easier to get to.
I recently worked through the tutorial on Cache web interface. Two points.
I was disappointed about the total lack of any mention of multivalue. A
basic (short) treatise on how to debug the web interface would make a major
difference. Of course it may be there and I just did not find it.
Overall I was very impressed. Like everything however I have to find a
market to justify it. I was at your first presentation at Melbourne Zoo
(Jbase) and hit the same stumbling blocks then. I think that any small
business has the same problem. A switch to something like OpenQM is much
easier as Bruce has ably shown. Personally I still like D3 but am concerned
that I and my clients may be left swinging after 30 years that is not a nice
thought. We are lucky in Australia to have TData.

PS Definitions. Despite the screams of protest from NSW, a pitch is the
entire playing surface. In cricket this is designated as the area roped off
and in football (all codes) it is the area delineated by lines painted on
the grass. The bit in the middle that is used in cricket is the wicket and
in Aussie Rules as defined by the AFL it is the centre square. The Oval is
the entire area that the pitch is marked out on.
