Well, the votes are in and thus I now have a presentation topic for Victoria Code Camp.  Thanks to all of you who responded to my earlier call for votes by commenting, E-mailing, stalking, and sexually harassing!!  We now have a clear winner in this contest and that far and away was:

MAKING FUN OF DONALD BELCHAM!!!

Unfortunately this idea, like many others of mine, proved to be a little too brilliant for its own good.  Once the other Code Camp presenters got wind of this, all of a sudden everyone's presentation was about heckling Donald.  Readers of this blog know that I don't think you can ever mock Donald too much.  However, organizer Nolan Zak felt that this was a little overboard and thus forebade *everyone* from doing this presentation, including yours truly*. 

The second place presentation topic was Ruby, so that is *half* of what I am doing at Vic Code Camp.  That's right - because Victoria was both good enough to invite me out and stupid enough to give me extra time to talk, I will be doing a second talk for free** in the session immediately after Ruby:

Ruby on Rails - it's not just for free-loving hippies anymore


At last, a shot at earning the respect of your peers!  A chance to get your parents to stop calling you a failure! A sure-fire way to score at the clubs!!  Ruby on Rails can make it *all* happen for you.   Believe it or not, RoR is no longer exclusive to granola-making commune dwellers; in fact, all the cool kids are doing it!  And don't *you* want to be cool?  Find out what the heck all the popular people are talking about; join Justice Gray for an introduction to the web framework that finally lets *you* wave your nose in the air like a pretentious elitist!

Trust me, if the Ruby presentation is over-the-top chair-throwing liquid excitement, then this presentation is like liquid excitement's dirty, sexy second cousin.  And like Donald says, what Victorian doesn't lust after their dirty second cousin?
