Daniel McVicar, who is a real soap opera star (no, not a programmer who developed SOAP, but a guy who’s been on The Bold and the Beautiful for 20 years), came to PodTech’s offices to interview me. I had no idea just how big he was, but when I got back Irina fawned over me and said she was so jealous, saying she watched him everyday for years. Something fun for Friday afternoon.

A friend who works at Microsoft in Silicon Valley just told me about Code Camp, October 7 and 8th at Foothill College. Here’s a FAQ. Will you be there? This is good to see. Too many frothy events lately truth is the valley depends on coders. No code leads to nothing to froth up.

OK, this is going too far. Jim Minatel writes about a Web 2.0 conference that has real coding sessions. Jim and I have known each other quite a while (we worked in the programmer magazine/conference business together at Fawcette Technical Publications, and he was the editor on my book).

What’s next? Profits? Heheh.
