GeeCee's Not-Entirely-Original Miscellany

Okay, let's try this poll thing again, hopefully with less Broken this time. Radio buttons because what fun is a religious war if you aren't forced to pick a specific side?

[Poll #1346515]

I'm thinking of going to see The Rude Mechanicals production of The Importance of Being Earnest; any of y'all interested in joining me? If it affects your planning, the venue's in Adams Morgan; given that, I'm leaning towards one of the Saturday shows myself since I work waaaaaaay out west of the city until around 6.

It's that time again: time to try and convice the Powers That Be to blow the budget on a conference. Where should I start? Yes, I realize that to have a particularly useful answer you'd need to have more information; answering polls is so much more fun when you're pulling an answer out of thin air though. ;)

[Poll #950632]

My own preferences in order are: OSCON (although I'm severely hampered by the fact they don't put up any session information or registration info until well after I'd have to have registered for the other two I'm really interested in), MySQL, php|tek (I went to this last year and was pleased with the technical content). My coworker will probably go to LISA.

To go, or not to go: that is the question. Whether 'tis better for the budget to fail to book a hotel room and avoid dealers' row (work-safety advisory), or to grab a stack of cash, and by going spend it.

(Redid the poll after belatedly realizing that not everyone necessarily wants to broadcast the fact they're going to be there. Only viewable by me now.)
