So I am very seriously considering attending but a 5 hour drive seems a bit excessive; are any other Buffalonians thinking of going and willing to share a ride? I'm in Perry, which isn't exactly on the way but I'm sure that something can be worked out. jason, delurking -- ``Oooh! A gingerbread house! Hansel and Gretel are set for life!''

I'll review some of the advantages to a template system and show a simple migration from a sample dummy website with html and cgi scripts. This will largely be a live demo, so input and commentary will be welcome."
