I've been kindly invited by the ACCU Silicon Valley Chapter to give a talk 
on D at their next meeting. The talk starts at 7:00pm on Wednesday, August 
11 and takes place in Mountain View. Attendance is free and opened to 
everyone. For details:


http://accu.org/index.php/accu_branches/accu_usa/next

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.


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


Hope to see many of you there!

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.

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