01/28/2003 Archived Entry: "Sam Ruby Weblog Gather Report"

Webloggers gathered and had a blast at the Crossroads Mall! The excuse was Sam Ruby being in town (but he revealed that he travels to Redmond at least four times a year). Present, in order of list-signing:

Harry Pierson of Devhawk.net
Anita Rowland of Anita's LOL (hey, that's me!)
Joshua Allen of Netcrucible.com aka Better Living Through Software
Chris Hollander of Objective
Ted Leung
Eric Soroos of Wiredfool.com
Rose Horner of Blether.org
Roland Tanglao (he drove from Vancouver, BC!)
Joe Bork of Incessant Ramblings
Joe Friend of So Many Islands
Stu Halloway, the newest blogger present (he only started eight days ago!), of Ockham's Flashlight
Dare Obasanjo of Carnage4Life
Don Box's Spoutlet
Sam Ruby of Intertwingly.net
Ravi Pandya of Iecommerce.com. (ooh, Jack, nano!)
Adam Vandenberg of the Flangy News
Miguel de Icaza held the crowd enraptured (I think it was Mono on the screen, not porn)
Ari Pernick of Doubt's Log
Matt Williams of Technovangelist.com was the last to arrive.
Kevin (Devin?) escaped without signing, but I found him via trackback.
John Lambert of No Repro, Won't Fix also didn't sign, but I know we talked.

Whew! that's a lot of people. We did do some shuffling around during the evening (around three hours long) so that most of us got to chat with each other if so inclined. There are pictures (thanks, snapGallery!). I'm very fond of this group shot!

See Sam's post for more links, pics, etc.

Thanks, Joe!
(I turned off the feedback form because of fears about it being misused.)

I'd looked at the tool on calsey.com and it looks reasonable. The problem is that I'm pushing Greymatter to its limit now, so changing things and rebuilding all files would crap out in the middle of the process. When I switch to MT, I'll start doing the RSS thing.

Hey Anita,

I thought of you when I saw this:

An easy way to add an rss feed.

Also, your feedback/email form doesn't seem to work.

Joe

I see that Roland, man of many blogs, posted his pictures at CamBlogNation.

I've finally got time to post the pix from the weblog dinner. Take a look: http://joe.weblog.or.id/2003/01/blogdinner/index.html

Yep... Devin is the last name.

I was the one in the shot showing the back of my head next to Sam. (Joe Friend.)
