Submitted by neil on Sun, 01/13/2008 - 4:48pmJon Udell is a widely known "uber-geek" who was a columnist for InfoWorld until early last year and a chief architect for O'Reilly's Safari online book service. He lives right here in Keene so we've bumped into each other a few times over the seven years I've been here.

TODCON 2007 - Selling You & Your Services, Revisited
Here is my "Selling You & Your Services, Revisited" presentation from the 2007 TODCON Conference. It was delivered Wednesday, June 13th at 1pm.
Great crowd at TODCON
Submitted by neil on Tue, 06/12/2007 - 12:18pmThis week I'm spending my time in (hot) Las Vegas, NV at TODCON. I'm delivering two presentations, "The PROFITABLE Web Development Process" and "Selling You & Your Services, Revisited." It's a great little conference of between 100 and 150 people that has more of a personal feeling than other conferences where I've presented. My first preso was yesterday and seem to come off pretty well. The best part for me is seeing people who listened to me last year come back again this year.

Our committee was charged with starting mini-expos, half day events that focus on a particular business topic. This past month we did Managing Your Business to Success. The sessions were informative (though not well attended due to some traffic issues we're seeing in Keene these days...no, I'm serious. Traffic issues essentially shut down little old Keene for the day).
We're on the air....
Submitted by neil on Fri, 05/25/2007 - 8:41pmWell...it's been many month (years?) in the making but we've finally posted the new site live. It's the age old cobblers children scenario. What made matters worse was that our previous site was downright embarrassing. The new site was made possible through many of our team players...
