Edmonton Code Camp is getting off to a great start, it looks like. 102 people!! How crazy is that??
In case you were hoping for a detailed evaluation, I should warn you that I don't know how much I'll be able to talk about the presentation; I am admittedly *stunned* by the *incredible* good looks of the first presenter. I didn't quite catch his name - Justin Gree? Justos Ray? Let me tell you, I'm a *firmly* heterosexual male but the appearance of *this* young thoroughbred no doubt has *many* in the room questioning their sexuality!!! What biceps!
And that *shirt*!! A TILDE~! Truly whomever this mysterious young man is, he is a *paragon* of style!
Getting to the actual content; phenomenal.
- A comparison of Steven Rockarts' favorite fantasy objects that I hope gets posted to this man's blog at some point!- Steve keeps staring at the presenter's @$$ while he is standing there. A little weird for being up in front of everyone - you'd think he'd be watching the presentation, but fine!- A comparison of Steve in normal gear vs. 80s gear!!- Steven seems to have some trouble concentrating...keeps licking his lips at the presenter. Jistoss seems to be brushing it off but I can't help feeling a little weird witnessing it.- Finally, some code!- Steven has taken off his shirt while Justoss goes on about TDD in Ruby. I didn't think it was that hot in here but everyone has their temperature threshold. I guess he must be going through some sort of pre-presentation ritual here, because I can't figure out why he keeps licking his finger and touching his nipple.- Nice stuff here about attribute shorthand and a whole bunch of time-savers. Hope this guy posts his screencasts to his blog.- Where are Steven's hands? I'm beginning to think I'm going to take off pretty soon if this keeps up.- Wonderful finish as he spams Donald Belcham's blog using WATIR!! Hopefully that code gets released!! - It is thankfully Steven's turn. I say thankfully because as a result he's stopping licking his bicep and winking at Mr. Gree, as well at PUTTING HIS SHIRT BACK ON. Yeesh!!- Steven gives away prizes, and Justas or whatever his name is nearly *kills* somebody throwing it in the dark!! Don't mess with that guy! Has he been working out? He looks *terribly* fit.- Steven shows off RubyCLR interop with forms development. Huge stuff here as well, thankfully with minimal "MMMMMMMMMMMMMs" and "YEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" but I would be fine with more awkward sounds if HE WOULD JUST PUT HIS PANTS BACK ON. - Session is over, with Rockarts and Gray answering questions. People who have read this blog regularly know that I occasionally exaggerate - but this was probably the single most LIFE-CHANGING EVENT ever.
Wow. Sincerely, I feel like a better developer, and more importantly, a better *person* for attending. I heard some rumors in the crowd that this Jasstass guy is actually married...thanfully that means my marriage is not in trouble..my wife is faithful but I think she might choose this guy over me, and not just for the tilde-laden shirt. Uh oh...but it sounds like his relationship is in trouble because of his amazing presentation!! Apparently Ruby is his mistress...but I guess I can see that. Someone told me that guy prefers Asians, and Ruby *is* Japanese in origin. Ah, I just heard him say that his wife is ridiculously hot. Even better looking than himself, in fact!
In conclusion, I have to say damn that man for being so dedicated to his craft and his wife, the two mistresses with which us mere mortals can never hope to compete. And a note to Steven - when you asked if the audience would like to see you pour oil on yourself in your underwear, the answer was a resounding *NO*. Don't ignore your audience next time!!!
