Well, Automatons Adrift is finally back after a malicious hacking by… someone. In any case, I was able to recover all of the posts and I am going through doing some updates and changing things up making everything a little more informative and colorful!

I hope you all enjoy it!

• Thanks TechDays team, the conference was great! I hope to see you all again next time! #techdays_ca #yeg #
• Oooh @simoncollier must have just flinched in the Cloud computing talk. "Google doesn't have a datacenter in Canada". :) #techdays_ca #yeg #
• That's right people cloud means it is time to understand that your role in IT may change and you will have to adapt. #techdays_ca #yeg #
• Whoa @RicksterCDN suggested IT "Pros" should stop being automatic nay-sayers when it comes to cloud computing?! CRAZY notion! #techdays_ca #
• Windows Intune finally a solution for managing my parents and in-laws PCs!! #techdays_ca #yeg #

• Is it just me or is the complete lack of swag at #techdays_ca #yeg extremely disappointing? :) #
• Would have really liked more time in the ipv6 session today at #techdays_ca #yeg #
• The group policy talk at #techdays_ca in #yeg is packed. Who would have thought group policy would be so popular?! #
