Oooooo there's a 79 Photo Slideshow!
In May 2000 the company I worked for at the time (Walnut Creek CDROM) did an extremely cool thing. They sent 2 of us to a Perl conference held on a cruise ship to Alaska! This was the very first GeekCruise: PerlWhirl 2000 and it was a huge success. Not only did I learn a bunch of cool Perl tricks and acquire new confidence in my programming skills, but I had a blast with a bunch of really cool people whom I hope to keep in touch with.
I got about 7 hours of sleep total on this trip, mostly cuz I didn't want to miss anything. Unlike many of my business trips in the past, Kel was unable to attend this one with me as we would have had to pay for her ourselves and it was not cheap. Overall it was a great experience and hopefully by the time the next one comes along in 2002 I'll be able to afford it myself or will be able to talk Netopia into sending me!
Oh here's the group picture of the Perl Geeks on the bow of the ship, courtesy of GeekCruises. Well actually it's only 75% of us.. it was rather early. I'm in the middle in the black shirt :)
