A Vacation About ProgrammingCategory: life
Ruby Conf 2007 here I come!
I got permission from (e:James) and we are headed down to Charlotte NC at the beginning of November for 3 days of geekery!
James will just lounge pool-side while I soak in such topics as these: With a keynote by Matz, the creator of Ruby. FYI, Ruby is a programming language.
I've got the hotel booked and my registration for the conference all set, thankfully 'work' is paying for it :)

Sorry, by 'work' I mean that I am paying for it, since I work freelance. But work is paying for it in the sense that it's coming out of my business account and I can write it off.

While I'm more a fan of extremely verbose languages (let's make those fingies burn!), I envy you enormously. I wish I could visit my home state, and I wish my workplace would pay for me to go to programming conferences.
Apparently I can't go to WWDC because the previous programmers decided they weren't interested in the business paying for them to go to WWDC. And I've been grandfathered into their foolishness.
Anyhow, please ignore my bitter rants and have as much fun as possible!

I am going to lounge pool side the entire time in a thong. All oiled up with tanning butter you can introduce me as your cabana boy, Rodrigo.

I sold some other stuff to pay for this but man oh man it was worth it!

Great dog. Great lens, too.
Do you know of anybody with an older but still ok digital camera that they might want to sell cheap?

It is at a Chinese Buffet ( I forget which ) and I think it was made out of rabbit fur. Paul had to sit next to it and almost died I think.

i am feeling free to infer....
but it is strange how different james can look from photo to photo. though in the middle one is definetely the 'history professor' look.
Often I have been told I have a nice uvula. That is actually how I paid my way through college, as a uvula model.
Feel free to infer what that means.
I was expecting something like this :::link:::
:)
Nice teeth too.
