Hey now! Lighten up a little. There's already at least three of us
Pythongeeks
up here: one in Sitka, me in Wasilla, and a professor at the University of
Alaska in Fairbanks, from which city you can catch a scheduled flight to
Deadhorse, Old Woman, Barrow, Nome, the caribou calving grounds, and other
points of interest to the North.

I don't know if an Alaska Inside Passage cruise will prove to be a magnet
for geeks. Alaskans call them "menopause cruises," on account of the
advanced age and predominantly female gender of the passenger
contingent.

Being a Python spy on a Perl cruise sounds like a good way to get thrown
over board ! Not to mention that resisting assimilation into their hive may
result in brain damage.

if you look at the programme, they mention the names
of all speakers, except the "what's better, what's worse"
session speaker ;-)

(btw, I really love the part where they imply that Python's
design is "a reaction to the excesses of Perl"...)

but the cruise folks really deserve to be taken seriously.
a Python cruise in the caribbean would be pretty cool.
maybe for SPAM-9?

PS. since some people asked, the St. Anna archipelago
in Sweden is actually on the same latitude as the Alaska
Inside Passage. waaay up in the north.

So who's the speaker for that 1/2 day session?
