I'll be at Cisco Live 2008 (networkers) in Orlando all week

It’s that time of year again, time to meet, drink, collaborate and learn. It’s time for Networkers (officially Cisco Live 2008). For some of us that means taking detailed notes all week long, for others it means almost getting arrested for climbing the totem pole outside of the house of blues (you know who you are). For all of us, it is a time to connect with old friends, share new ideas, and make new friends in the process.

In that spirit, my schedule is listed below. If you are in the area, it would be great if you would stop by and say hello.
