The talk will use the same slides as my Google talk. I'll give away a 
few free copies of TDPL as prizes to the persons who ask the most 
embarrassing questions.


Hope to see many of you there!

Is that to the embarrassment of the questioner or the questionee ;-)

Heh. Incidentally I've been asked the same at Google. The questionee! 
There's no embarrassment to the questioner - almost by definition.

Grrr! I have to publicly whine about my timing problem.

I am a member of the ACCU and an active member who takes part in organizing the
monthly talks in
Silicon Valley; I live 5 minutes from the meeting location; I work 5 minutes
from there too.

But unfortunately I am on the other side of the globe on the 11th, organizing
mini D meetings in
Turkey.

I can't have Andrei sign my copy of the TDPL, I can't meet him, I can't meet
with other Bay D'ers. Argh!
Argh! Aaaarrrgghhh!!! :)

I will be in the area on the 13th. Perhaps he will still be around? :)

Well, at least you have a really good excuse :)

I'd be up for a get together after work on the 13th (provided I can get to 
it).

Scratch that, I've got a conflict.
