Postcards from PDC - CodeProject

Postcards from PDC 2000

Next time I go to one of these things I'm taking a digital camera. In any event the trusty local photo shop and Cannon scanner have done their magic so I somewhat sheepishly present a few pics from PDC.

One thing that intrigued me was that many of the guys in our industry are household names - but not many people have seen their faces. I'll leave off name tags for a few days and see if anyone can guess who is who.

The Orange County Convention Center. This place is huge!
John Robbins, Jeff Prosise, Lewis Frazer (Wintellect).	...and Jeffrey Richter
Chris Maunder (CodeProject), Matt Pietrek (NuMega, MSDN).	Advanced C# with Joe Nalewabau - a great talk.
Kent Sharkey (Microsoft SOAP evangelist) and Troy Marchand (Dundas Software)	The hordes.
David Cunningham (Dundas Software Prez)	Tom Archer - Earthweb
Ducks in a hotel lobby's pond. Go figure.

Chris is the Co-founder, Administrator, Architect, Chief Editor and Shameless Hack who wrote and runs The Code Project. He's been programming since 1988 while pretending to be, in various guises, an astrophysicist, mathematician, physicist, hydrologist, geomorphologist, defence intelligence researcher and then, when all that got a bit rough on the nerves, a web developer. He is a Microsoft Visual C++ MVP both globally and for Canada locally.

His programming experience includes C/C++, C#, SQL, MFC, ASP, ASP.NET, and far, far too much FORTRAN. He has worked on PocketPCs, AIX mainframes, Sun workstations, and a CRAY YMP C90 behemoth but finds notebooks take up less desk space.

He dodges, he weaves, and he never gets enough sleep. He is kind to small animals.

Chris was born and bred in Australia but splits his time between Toronto and Melbourne, depending on the weather. For relaxation he is into road cycling, snowboarding, rock climbing, and storm chasing.
