"you're gonna staht a wah"

perhaps my point wasn't made clear in my post last night. and no, i'm not trying to begin a flame war. to be honest, it was already started for me.

on this pdc thing again. “f” those little stickers, as they create separatism between the team. it's like show-and-tell day, and we're all kids. “i'm going and you're not!” WAAA! who cares?

my point was that i can afford it, i just don't want to go because i'm so involved, so committed, and so geeked about the work and teaching i'm doing, just like Phil sounds like he is. i guess if i'm going to get “scobelized,” i feel that i need to be so in at least an appropriate manner (i'm NOT going, whereas others CAN'T go).

oh and for the record, i tried to post a comment on that particular blog, but i couldn't. i got an error message. a PHP error message in fact that read

“Warning: mysql_connect(): Too many connections in /home/haloscan/public_html/connect.php on line 9
Can't connect with the database.”

call me crazy, but this is somewhat ironic, if you think about it.

I talked to my boss today about going out there, and he thinks it would be a good idea so we can get a jump on the competition on Yukon. Being there for Whibdey would just be an added benefit :)

My schedule says I'm teaching an intro to programming class (2667), and I would hate to miss the PDC if I could go because of that class. Now, if we were teaching 2373 or 2310 I doubt if I'd weasel out of teaching those. But intro to programming classes have never been my favorites...

If I can get plane ticket / hotel paid for I might just swing this. If not, I'm sure the weblogs will be lighting up that week with new information.
