Don Xml's Grok This

	Calling All NYC Area Nerds! (Now Updated) Rory is coming down from Connecticut on Friday April 30 to visit NYC for the weekend, which means it is time for the first NYC Nerd Dinner.  Where and when?  Well seeing that there is a special meeting of the NYC .Net Group that night, we will probably meet there and go out afterwards.  This is Rory’s first time in the big city, and it is up to the NYC nerds to “show him a good time”.  Don’t disappoint him.  Just watching Rory on a NYC subway train should be worth the trip (Germ phobia, OCD and NYC Subway just does not mix, ah the lovely smell of urine on the 3rd rail on a hot and humid day). [Update - Rory isn't going to be able to make it tonight, Friday, but will be in the city on Saturday, so I'm cancelling this for tonight.] Share this post: email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it! | live it!

I have my first exam on Thurs, so I didn't want to go out on Sat, but I might be convinced otherwise if you guys have plans already. April 28, 2004 7:54 AM TrackBack said: April 28, 2004 11:09 AM

About donxml

I’m an independent consultant, specializing in .Net solutions architecture, based out of New Jersey who also doubles as an evangelist for XML, Domain Driven Design, enterprise architecture and .Net. I do not work for Microsoft, the W3C or any other big company that you may know of (at least not yet). I’ve been an indie for over ten years, and although I’ve been tempted a couple times to take a job with companies like Microsoft, I’ve haven’t found something better than my current situation. I work mostly with the large pharmaceuticals that are based here in New Jersey, and usually find myself on long term contracts. Definitely not the prototypical indie consultant, but it lets me dedicate time to my non-income generating activities like the developer community stuff, plus financing open source projects like XPathmania and MVP-XML. If you would like to talk to me about doing some contract work, just contact me via the contact page. My rates vary widely, depending on lots of different variables, but mostly distance from Jersey, and type of work. Plus, I’ve been known to donate some of my code for various projects.
