Yes - I am heading to Pittsburgh this year, come hell or high water. I ma even running out of valid excuses:<br><br>YAPC 2006 - $work forbid me to go.<br>Pittsburgh 2006 - $work was going to pay for me to go, but my $fatherly duties took presedence.
<br>YAPC 2007 - I needed to see Bob Dylan, and get my hernia fixed. I am still recovering.<br>Pittsburgh 2007 - Look ma NO EXCUSES!<br><br>Anyway - My back hurts from lying in bed for three days and $pain_Killer just makes me itch.

<br>So, as I mentioned earlier, I just got back, Thursday, from YAPC in Houston.<br>It was a great conference, and I had a swell time. Just the right amount of<br>beer, barbeque, and sleep. I learned a few good things and gave some talks
<br>that I really enjoyed. I might force one of these (very short) on you, next<br>Wednesday.<br><br>Faber was there, and can serve as the first non-rjbs ABE.pm member to report<br>back on YAPC. Faber! Was it as fun as I've always said? (Did you see any of
<br>my talks? I can't recall.)<br><br>In other news, Kip is now a father to one more kid! I have no idea whether<br>he'll make it next time (and he isn't on the list), so if necessary, I will<br>show off photos and act proud on his behalf.
<br><br>There's a Perl Workshop in Pittsburgh in October. It's like a 1.5 day YAPC<br>held on the weekend. I'm hoping to get out there. Anybody else interested?<br><br> <a href="http://pghpw.org/ppw2007/">
