"I've had two Tylenol caffeine pills and very little sleep, so I might be a little jumpy."

When someone leads in with *that*, you know you're in for a good presentation.  Some highlights of Jean-Paul Boodhoo's talk last night at EDMUG:

• "...and if you do that, you are *screwed*."  (turns to sign language translator on the side) "Why don't you try signing *that*?"
• JP nearly pimp-slapping someone over questioning OO principles
• "Feel free to throw money at me"
• "I'm feeling horrible pain in my stomach but that's okay"
• "There are two different JPs.  Well, *maybe* there are two different JPs."
• "There's no 2 instances of a 5 dollar bill, but there's two instances of JP!"

Seriously, I think we were about 10 minutes away from JP screaming, stripping himself and yelling about all the bugs crawling on him.  All of that, *and* we got a look at the Proxy pattern and Unit of Work!

One other note: this was probably one of the highest attendances we've had since we started EDMUG.  Thanks to all of the Edmonton developers who have continued to impress us all with their enthusiasm, passion, and dedication.  It's great to be able to do these kind of things and you guys out there make it happen!
