Gray's Matter - Victoria Code Camp was *THIS PAST SATURDAY*! (Justice Gray's blog)

Nolan Zak for inviting us out, and for drawing my name as the winner of an ASP.NET control suite! The only thing I've won prior to this has been the hearts and minds of the entire North American populace, so it's nice to have finally received something else as a prize.
The entire Victoria .NET Developers Association for the great job in setting things up at the university - this code camp was very well organized and definitely had a phenomenal line-up of talent, not to mention phenomenal attendance!
Mike Culver of Amazon for getting over his distrust of people with sexy heads of hair and thus enabling him and I to have the most significant and courageous detente since the collapse of the Berlin wall.
James Kovacs for not beating the crap out of the attendee who attempted to hijack his presentation with running commentary throughout.
James Kovacs for not beating the crap out of *me* when I managed to leave his presentation out one dorr only to come in through the other door and then leave immediately afterwards. Seriously, I'm done with the meth, guys; I won't let it control me!
To Steven Rockarts, who did not attend but whose "Let's Get Physical" photographs were the hit of my talks! How exciting to see these jokes are now transcending provincial boundaries!
To all of the people who attended my talks for the great conversations afterwards about agile development, dynamic languages and the future of the .NET framework! It's the post-presentation chats that make presenting so much fun for me.
To the University of Victoria for having the greatest possible setup for presenters and attendees alike! Donald has already waxed enthusiastic over on his own blog so I'll just point you there - what a great venue!
To the numerous denizens at the security of the Victoria and Edmonton airports for telling me how much they admired my Mac! Definitely a nice surprise and something I'll comment about in a later post.
To my dinner companions at the Sticky Wicket for their patience with my verbosity at dinner!
To the guy who won the free DevTeach registration - thanks in advance for giving that to me out of the goodness of your heart so that I don't have to put out a hit on you or anything! Just kidding...sort of...*sob*
Finally, to Japan Taxi for...well, I'll save that for the next post...

Fantastic city, fantastic weather, and a fantastic turn-out; thanks for having the EDMUG boys out there and hopefully we can do this again another time!
