Sorry, I haven't gotten back to you in months. I meant to, but kept forgetting. Unfortunately I ended up missing half of Barcamp Tampa due to wireless issues on my netbook at home that I really really wanted to fix/figure out. Barcamp Tampa was cool. http://twitter.com/JamesTryon gave a talk on freelancing and http://twitter.com/xentek gave a really good talk on the nginx web server :)! Barcamp Orlando is April 3rd - http://www.barcamporlando.org/ check it out :). Hope things are going well with you.
It was good getting a chance to talk with you too :)
