Hangout for experimental confirmation and demonstration of software, computing, and networking. The exercises don't always work out. The professor is a bumbler and the laboratory assistant is a skanky dufus.

Sending Orcmid to (Code) Camp

Thanks to Ted Neward, I finally found details for the Seattle Code Camp on October 22–23.  I figure it is time to send Orcmid to camp.  I am not taking bets that Blocco, the Tablet PC, will be back in time for me to have reloaded everything in time to take it along. 

I figure that I have satisfied the entry requirements by figuring out how to put their “small but annoying badge” on this page. 

They found a place practically in Tacoma (Tacoma would have been easier) to hold it, and the earliest public-transit arrival near DeVry’s Federal Way Campus is shortly after 9am on Saturday, 10am on Sunday.  The final departure of the hourly weekend service is at 5:52 pm.  I guess I could be installing software during those three-segment bus rides to make up for the sessions I’ll miss.

I find it interesting that Microsoft has its own TLD (check it out: pacwest.ms) and I trust that the gentle folk of Montserrat are making a bundle.

Another other odd quirk is that while registering I had to check “other” in specifying the platform I develop on.  Out of the six non-other other choices, Win32 isn’t there (nor Win64 either).  It’s either Pre-.NET VB or .NET or Java or other things, but not Win32.  Funny.  So I get to be the Ghost of Christmas Past?

I intend to have fun.
