Deep Fried Cheese Curds
Oh God. I had seared them from my memory.
What do you call that dish that's basically french fries with deep fried cheese curds dolloped on top? "Coronary Surprise"? "arteriosclerosis with ketchup"? "I-can't-believe-it's-not-lard"?
cheers,
Chris Maunder

You mean, haloumi cheese?
I think you're meant to have it deep fried and served with jam.
Well, that's how we have it.

In any case I was with some friends at a bar ordering appetisers and I jokingly suggested we get something with cheese and that was deep fried. "Maybe deep fried cheese" I suggested, impressed with my own wit.
ROFLMAO! That's classic! They are called cheese sticks. I actually like them but they are bad for your health.

This year, the latest deep-fried treat is Deep Fried Twinkies.

Deep fried pickles are the thing around here. I don't support this, nor do I approve of treating a perfectly good pickle to a bath of batter and tossing into the 'vat' (to use your word) but just the same, people must be eating them as they are on the menu at far to many establishments (I think all of said establishments serve alcohol which might be more than a coincidence)

It's really, really humid.
Conferences are almost surreal experiences. It's like you turn off your real life for a week and suddenly enter this strange world where your friends and family are replaced with colleagues whom you have worked with (or against) for months, but are suddenly spendig breakfast, lunch and dinner with.
The hotel becomes a microcosm. You leave sessions, lunch, the bar - whatever - to pop down to check email. It's like smokers popping out every hour or so for a smoke - but it's far, far more addictive and time consuming than mere nicotene. Meals are large and mostly deep fried, the laptops innumerable and the dress sense appalling. You get to rub shoulders with those shaping the industry and half the time you have no idea you are doing so.
There's three types of attendees at conferences: those who come to learn, those who come to network, and those who come to write about those who have come. I usually fall into all three categories.
But the coolest thing? Sitting down with others at the terminals provided for attendees use and seeing all the browsers open with CodeProject.

BTW: who wants to guess how many emails were waiting in my inbox after 3 days without access? The number is more than 100 and less than 10,000.

We've talked a lot about allowing members to have their own private message boards so I decided to try it in a slightly specialised form (and slightly restricted - I'll be the only one with a board for the time being).
Only the owner of each personal forum can post new threads, though anyone logged in can reply. New threads won't appear on the homepage, nor in question time or the 'all comments' page. The forums will basically be hidden from all and the only way you'll get to view them is by visiting the user's profile.
Will this be worthwhile? I'm not sure, but there's only one way to find out.
I'm heading to VSLive tomorrow and after that I'll be popping over to Redmond. I figured that this would be a great place for me to jot down the meanderings of my mind. There is so much going on behind the scenes at CodeProject - enough that David Cunningham and I both do ridiculously long hours and can count the number of free weekends we've had this year on one hand. The thing is: not many people hear about the bits and pieces going on behind the scenes. Most of it is pretty boring. Some of it totally incredible. A lot of it (unfortunately) is confidential, but there's more enough left over that I should be able to at least give you a taste of what it's like to be the guy at the front desk at a place like CodeProject.
cheers,
Chris Maunder

Totally great idea Chris, and the "restrictions" are wise indeed.
p.s. I would not have noticed this if it were not for the "48512 members and growing!" link on the home page and then noticing the new link in the profiles.

Nah, they're working, but you can't post a new thread on someone else's forum (so if they haven't posted any threads, you won't have anything to reply to)

Chris I really like the idea, however it would be nice if you could allow anyone to post to anothers message board, however give the owner of the profile two options; delete a single message or delete all messages. What do you think?

The funny thing is, i didn't even notice yours until someone mentioned it in The Lounge today... And i was just about to suggest there should be links to the boards from the who's who page!

It's 10:00 PM, I realized my hardware can't handle one of my RT embedded functions, i've drooled over stuff from performancebike[^] after seeing your studded tires, and so i decided to find out when you posted the first message on your own discussion board. I found it and thought I'd say hey. So: 'hey'. Ok, im definately going to bed now
