Obviously the dorms are no longer available and the Quality Inn discount rates ($105/night) are no longer available. I searched priceline looking for a nearby hotel (I have the luxury of a car as I am driving up) that was of a decent quality and an affordable rate. Going soley by the customer reviews on priceline, I decided on Comfort Inn Conference Center which claims to be about 6 miles away from CMU at $85/night. Instead of booking through them, I called directly as often there will be information not available on the web. I was informed that there was a university discount even though I was not a student - just attending a conference of $69.99 / night. If there is anyone out there that has not yet made their reservations, this may be a good place to stay. I will also be happy to drive if someone wants to carpool (room for 3 other passengers). Apparently all the local cab companies have merged into Yellow Cab (412-321-8100) and Morgan (the front desk clerk) guessed that fare would be between $20 and $40. That is obviously a bit pricey but I am not sure what other public transportation is available. Anyway, thought I would share. Cheers, Joshua Gatcomb a.k.a.

'nuff said. sharp edge has a decent looking menu but i don't know about the buffet setup. given the low signup count so far (21) we could possibly just do a large sit down with ordering from the menu. this will placate those who dislike buffets and make my life easier! :) http://sharpedgebeer.com/Creekhouse_dinner.htm penn brewing also has flash and it just crashed firefox for me. fuck them too!! flash is for video and media. IT IS NOT FOR MAIN CONTENT as it can't be searched, browsed with text browsers, crawled, indexed, folded, spindled or mutilated (thought its users should have that done to them) etc. so sign up anyhow, and i will work on landing a place for the arrival dinner. one issue is the late date and some want decent time before booking a large party. more to come (with less ranting i hope). thanx, uri -- Uri Guttman ------ uri at stemsystems.com -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support ------ --------- Free Perl Training --- http://perlhunter.com/college.html --------- --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com --------- From yapc at packy.org Fri Jun 12 09:06:27 2009 From: yapc at packy.org (Packy Anderson) Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 12:06:27 -0400 Subject: [yapc] Transportation from Amtrak station to dorms Message-ID: I'm not sure if I should be posting this to the list, because (according to the wiki) I'm the only one crazy enough to be taking a train to Pittsburgh, or sending it directly to the YAPC organizers, but here goes...

Google Maps gives great public transit directions in Pittsburgh -- much better than the Port Authority site. Just look up directions from 1100 Liberty Ave Pgh to Carnegie Mellon West Wing, select "By Public Transit," click "Show options," and enter your departure time. It looks like you can take the 61B bus.

Union Station sits essentially on the northeast corner of downtown. Almost every bus route makes a run through some part of downtown, so if there's a bus that goes where you want, you'll be able to pick it up there. The only thing that might concern is if you have large luggage since the bus stop you want might be several blocks away from the station. If you have a backpack or small bag you are golden. > Pittsburgh's public transit website isn't particularly helpful in > telling me if it's possible to get a bus from point A to point B > (or relatively nearby). For almost all intents and purposes you can forget that the Port Authority website exists at all and not be any worse off. Google Maps is what you want to use for trip planning. > Are there taxicabs that sit around at Union Station, or is Pburgh > more like smaller cities, where you have to call a cab to come get > you? And how much would a cab cost? A couple bucks, or should I be > packing Benjamins to cover cab fare? ISTR there was a taxi stand at Union Station, but I could be mistaken. I usually end up picking up cabs from downtown at the stand outside of the William Penn. You can call for a cab if need be. $45 will get you to the airport, so I would think that $20 would cover you to CMU.

For those that have not experienced this at YAPC::Europe, since 2006 we have been running a survey after the conference for us to improve future conferences. This year, in addition to the main Conference Survey, I am also running individual evaluation surveys for the Talks and Master Classes. If you are an attendee, the email contains a special link that is unique to you, please bookmark it, as it is your key to accessing the survey website. If you are an attendee and haven't received an email by the beginning of the conference, please see me during the conference, or email me. I already see Hotmail is rejecting the mails, so I'll try forwarding them manually :) For those interested, the results will be uploaded to the YAPC Conference SUrveys website - http://yapc-surveys.org.

If you would like to get a little exercise, see some authentic Pittsburgh urban landscaping, take panoramic views of our freakishly beautiful sky line, and drink litres of beer from an imported german ale house, please join us at Mudge at 7:30PM. We're going to walk down 5th Ave to Neville, and take that to Panther Hollow Trail. The entire walk is paved. The "trail" connects to the Jail Trail (far from the jail, sorry) and leads us right to Hot Metal Bridge which is ~100 paces from our destination. If you can't walk and still want to drink the fantastic beer please review your public transit options. Here is a link to get you from CMU to Hofbrauhaus: http://tinyurl.com/ll27v8 If you're walking please add yourself to the wiki page linked above so we know roughly how many people to expect. We will leave at 7:45PM sharp! By the way, this entire idea was Walt Mankowski's fault. He likes exercise, pictures, and beer. Thanks, Walt!

Then everyone else can see the link by clicking on the name of the talk from the schedule. I've already done that for both of my talks. I'll try to add them to the wiki, too, but I might not have time until I'm back home Thursday night.

I think shipping it even by sea is going to be quite expensive & then I expose myself to the risk of customs declaring some arbitrary (IME) fee. So I'm sheepishly wondering if anyone left in Pittsburgh might be interested in buying it from me? Or, if you happen to live in Houston and like free beer/dinner, giving it a ride and I'll pick it up there (I fly out from IAH to DUB July 14).

I attended a few of his talks last year ( and they were very good), and as I recall, he asked for a laser pointer in every one of them. Perhaps pointers could be placed in every room every morning to avoid the accusation of special treatment. Just an idea. iPhoned it in On Jun 25, 2009, at 8:09 PM, Michael G Schwern wrote: > I was loaded a laser pointer for this morning's class and walked off > with it. > Its a small, black keychain style.
