A chief executive officer was to give the keynote address at one important conference. That’s why he asked one of his top employees to write a twenty minute speech for him. After that important event the chef was furious. “Why did you write an hour long speech for me?” he bellowed. “Half the audience got up and left the hall before I finished my speech!”
The confused employer replied, “Sir, I wrote you a 20 minute speech. But I also gave you the two extra copies you requested.” 
The only thing I’m confused about this story is the attentive and concerned audience. I guess in a real life nobody would notice any difference. Am I right? Do you have an experience of attending any really interesting IT training or event? If not, in which one would you like to participate?
Personally, I think nearly all conferences are dull and boring.
What topics are the most interesting for you?

I usually find the books I read during boring presentations, quite interesting 
and I can always replace them if I want...

I have some tools I wrote for Bloomberg API code that I thought would be useful to share. Is Code Project a good place to put them? If so, under what category would it belong? I'm thinking maybe "Third Party Products"

If you just want to provide links then you could try the Free Tools forum[^]. However, if you think their content and development would be of interest to other developers you could try writing articles about them[^].
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

The only result of app innovation context is codeproject filled with hundreds of useless, never-done, not explained, stub projects.
if you are subscribed to codeproject rss you know what I say

The aim of the contest was to get people to start thinking about developing for Ultrabooks. Ultimately, there should be 300 applications released out of this - and there should be 300 useful articles coming out of it.

in rss feed i see everyday about one hundred stub project (mainly useless games)
you say they will be useful articles? I don't think so!

No I don't. I say the 300 that go through to the next round will be the useful articles.
The dregs have been weeded out now.

 I found your post amusing, but it looks like others are telling you that jokes should be confined to The Soapbox and The Lounge. Unfortunately if it was posted it in any other forum, the context would be lost.

You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

True, you only accused him of being a swine.

Then you might wanna add (no spam here) to the forum title. I'm thinking it might just work :giggle:
Full-fledged Java/.NET lover, full-fledged PHP hater.
Full-fledged Google/Microsoft lover, full-fledged Apple hater.
Full-fledged Skype lover, full-fledged YM hater.
