It's been a _long_ time since I wrote a blog post. It's mostly because I was embarrassed of how my personal blog looked. Here's what I'm hoping will be the first of many posts this year. https://mscottford.com/articles/blogging-again/

@halfbyte I'm curious about what your concerns are. I thought it was rather interesting, and I especially liked that all the information stays on the device and uses a local AI model.
I'm hanging out at #RVASec today. Any other #RVA dev folks attending?

The content is split into two different tracks. On the main stage you'll find traditional talks from our fantastic set of speakers, including a keynote by Andrea Goulet.

The rest of the content is in the style of an Open Space event. If you've got a topic that you'd like to explore, a workshop that you'd like to facilitate, or a talk that you'd like to present then you can grab a spot on the schedule during the Open Space pitch session.

Or you can just attend either track or mix and match.
