You guys want to grow up.   Geoff doesn’t need defending, he has sensible enough to make his own reasonable replies.   I never bagged him or the event, I am just asking a question, if the answer is no that’s fine, but who does it hurt to ask.   This is a discussion.

It looked pretty damn successful.   If you keep bagging the organiser maybe he'll just give up and not put any events on at all..   As someone who grew up in WA in the most isolated city in the world (and the most neglected in Australia as far as the big events go), I cannot see what the big fuss is about.   Because it doesn't seem obvious I will say this: Sydney is in the middle of the east coast, one can drive there from Melbourne or Brisbane overnight on perhaps one tank of fuel (depending on what car you have). It is only 45 minutes by plane from Melbourne and perhaps an hour and a bit from Brisbane. You can set yourself up at one of the many backpackers down the road if accomodation costs are an issue (just hold on to your valuables and be sure to bathe in Dettol every morning). However, the Hilton has been refurbished recently and looks very nice.   If you're still concerned about costs, you can carpool it here to Sydney and back (around $160 in fuel = $40 each?) and live in my garage. There's a king size double being stored there, probably good for up to four programmers. You might have to avoid inhaling the fumes from all the semi-opened cans of paint and double-stroke lying around in there. And definately no smoking indoors. (No, this is not really available, I am just kidding)   The only real cost is your time, as someone else said, if you're spending it elsewhere you're probably not that serious about your career.   Joel --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
