    Any chance of the tour reaching the UK?

    We've had a ton of requests about a European tour so we'll have to investigate the costs involved and the number of potential attendees to see if we can make a European tour fly. Obviously a N. American tour is easiest, but we will just have to see! Personally I'm trying to justify a Hawaiian leg of the tour, or maybe a Bahamas stop-off, followed by a Whistler/Blackcomb extravaganza, but the guys don't seem to be taking my requests seriously. cheers, Chris Maunder

      Hi Folks, The Tour that we are putting on is meant to give this community a chance to come together, meet face to face, get some useful information, and some nice sponsor-provided goodies. Because of the time lines certain planning items are going to take time, but they will be firmed up shortly. I feel like this could be a really valuable and memorable Tour. We're talking to all kinds of interesting people about visiting with us for panel discussions and presentations. Microsoft has committed to send some of their people to help us make this a great event. Now its your turn... we need to get a sense of what the overall appeal of this Tour is going to be as we make our final plans. If you plan to come, but haven't registered yet, please stop by the Tour site and register: http://www.codeproject.com/info/tour We'd like to get as many Code Project people as we can at these events so that we can expand the concept, visit Europe, and other parts of the World. This is an experiment, a journey into community building. We have kept the price as low as possible to stimulate maximum involvement. Now the question is whether the community is going to support Code Project and its North American Tour. In a real way this Tour is for you. Please help us make this first event a big success so that we can continue to grow and expand the things we do to support this community. Stop by our registration page and let us know you are coming. If you need more info let me know by e-mail. The more people who register, the better the speakers will become, the better the goodies will get, and the more fun we'll all have.

      It says that Dundas is giving away a $1300 suite of programming tools to each attendee. Exactly what does this contain? Is it the latest and greatest GoldRush suite?

          I tried to go to the registration page and it's "not found". Is this some nefarious plot to keep me from showing up? :)

              John, I just checked the reg page and it seems ok, could you let me know exactly which URL is reporting the error so I can keep an eye on it? Tx, David

                It came up eventually for me - I'm still not used to the questionable connectivity we have here... :/

                  John, Is it your connectivity or ours that's questionable? :) D

                    Ours. I usually post from work, and "work" is on a military base. If you've never had to put up with the security nazis on a military base, you are really missing out. We were recently required to change our passwords without any heads up from the security folks. We all had to find out (one rule at a time) how to enter a new password. 1) It must be greater than 10 characters long (I expected this) 2) It must contain at least one numeric character 3) It must contain at least one uppercase alphabetic character 4) It must contain at least one lowercase alphabetic character 5) It must contain at least one special character (punctuation) 6) No two consecutive characters can be letters On top of that, the system scans all of the systems at least once per hour to see what's going on, they monitor our web access to make sure we're not visiting porn sites, they don't allow IRC or news server access, and they are constantly updating our anti-virus software. It's really amazing how badly the network is maintained here (Brooks AFB, San Antonio), too. It seems like we loose email or web access at least once per week, and many times, we just plain can't get to some sites for some reason. Sometimes, the network burps and we accidently get through to the internet. I wear that this is the world's only living breathing cluster-f*ck. :)

                      Did you see my question about why Atlanta was left off the tour?
