Last year some guys from Canada had a late night party in their motel room. I can't remember their names! Does anybody know if they plan on coming again?

Ok I'm upset with myself now. I know I read somewhere the other day that do to family obligations and some other things the Canadian crew won't be making an appearance this year. I checked the update page but didn't see the info there. I checked Google but can't find it there. Oh hang on - nope didn't read it in an email. Maybe I just imagined the whole thing. But could have sworn I read this info just yesterday. Sad

The story on the Canadians was from their website, and we quoted it in last Friday's Windows Daily newsletter.

Now I can confirm I'm only partially crazy. Thank you for pointing me in the 1 place I forgot to look. Very Happy Here is there site with the story I very badly summarized above http://gnomedexers.kaptiv-8.com/

I've been using the RSS feed - thus the reason I thought I'd not seen it in an email.

Well, it's Friday, and save for the short hiatus, it's Gnomedex Friday! Ernest asks: "Last year some guys from Canada had a late night party in their motel room. I can't remember their names! Does anybody know if they plan on coming again?"

I have sad news to report... According to their website, Canadian Gnomedexer Marc Kelsey reports: "Anyone who read our anxious pre-Gnomedex postings last year, and the year before that, or the newsletters composed drunkenly after a night of joyous carousing with fellow geeks and listening to killer speeches by Steve Gibson or Pud might be wondering why we've been so silent this year. It's not that we aren't excited about Gnomedex III; the line-up this year looks as good as ever, and we have a pile of friends we were looking forward to meeting. Unfortunately, we have been holding off talking about Gnomedex III because we have been unsure if we will be making it. And, super-unfortunately, we won't be.

"Kirk has been out of the picture for a while. He is getting married in September and is trying to save as much money as possible. I just found out last night that Jackie's family get-together this year is in Winnipeg on the same weekend as Gnomedex, and I really can't miss it this year. And without Kirk and I going, I don't think Chris is going to drive down by himself.

"We are all disappointed about missing Gnomedex, but we look forward to seeing everyone again next year at Gnomedex IV. For anyone who is undecided, I whole-heartedly recommend going. It will be the smartest party you will ever go to. Drink one (or several) for us!"
