Well, everybody. I've got a bit of news to share.... I'm not going to JavaOne this year.
:-(
I was planning on going. I was even planning on seeing if I could crash the annual sail of San Francisco Bay that Nederlandse Java User Group (my #1-all-time-favorite-JUG of all time) pulls together.
Not in the cards for me this year, regrettably.
See, this hot, hot, hot project came up which requires me to stay put so that I can get it off the ground. I can't tell you what it is yet. Top secret.
So it's good news and bad news.
I'm going to miss JavaOne for the first time in my career. My perfect attendance record will no longer be perfect. :-/
But I've got this really hot thing cooking that's going to be just great but I can't talk about it yet.
I'll still do my best to deliver JavaOne Scoop. I'm pretty well connected, despite my geography. And I have my ways of finding stuff out around here.
wink, wink.
:-)

If I happen to stumble on any scoops myself, I'll be sure to report immediately to MaryMary JavaOne ScoopCentral. Not that I have any clout or connections myself or anything. I just have a bad habit of not reading signs (i.e., "Keep Out") when walking into a room. :)
...And I was so looking forward to a MaryMary Guerrilla BOF. *sigh* Oh well. Have fun with the new project, Mary! Can't wait to hear more about it.

Hotter than the U2 tour?
How on earth are you going to top that Mary?
You're an awful tease :). I lok forward to hearing about your latest venture when you are able to talk about it.
Alan.
