A Sad Tale of PDC Woe
There I was, standing in front of the Los Angeles Convention
Center, about to experience PDC ’05.
The sky was blue and the sun was out, but that was really immaterial, as
I was about to spend the next four days in the conference hall, getting my mind
filled with technological gems delivered by various top speakers. Coverage of .NET 2.0, ADO.NET, SQL Server
2005 and many other related technologies. All of this wonderful content to by absorbed into my gray matter
then re-transmitted to the community via this blog, various message boards, Code
Camps, user groups, and other communication resources.
Ahh, the utter exuberance I felt! My inner Geek sung with joy as I approached the doors to the
conference center, ready to take in all the content that would be offered.
But suddenly, this utopian vision was snatched from me,
shattered like a wineglass overrun by a steam roller, distorted into an ugly
vision of... My bedroom. Alarm clock
bleeping. Grasping at the sheets, I
tried to re-enter my golden dream state, but alas, I was denied.
I’m just not certain I can do it. Can I really live out my existence having not attended PDC
’05? Having not experienced many useful
sessions, and not sharing their content with the community? I think that would be a truly Herculean
task!
Therefore, I request that the Channel 9 team let me live out
my dream. Send me to PDC ’05!
Thank you for reading.
