missing out…

it never ceases to amaze me…

now matter how much i plan & plan…

it is like someone’s put a freaking hoodoo curse on me when it comes to professional & peer networking events anywhere outside the glorious metroplex that is tuscaloosa/northport.

ones that cost money & require serious time away from the office are one thing…

but unable to get to one that’s freaking free, taking place on a weekend & within driving distance!?!?!

that’s right, kiddos…

i missed barcampbirmingham today.

the entire freaking day!

can ya tell i’m pissed as hell about it?

well, while i’ve been pissed…

i managed to churn out a custom windows mobile device theme just for barcampbirmingham.

get your barcamp on...in your pocket!

and of course…

the start menu remains totally functional & the graphics line up!

man...i freaking rock!

dunno if it counts as a contribution or not…

but at least it’s something, right?

  2. A no show after pimping the event on the funcave? It is like not showing up for the red carpet. Your fans need to get a glimpse of the Rue in person!
