Neil wants me to remind you to come see me speak at Perl Whirl '04.
... but wanting to go and being able to go are two totally seperate things.
Sure I could probably get the time off but there is no way I can get my employer to pay for the trip and I certainly don't have that kind of money to spend on a vacation or training. And we can't forget that those of us who are married would have to cough up twice as much money since spouses generally get really ticked off if you go anywhere without them.
