On the second Raleigh/Cary Bloggers Meetup
The second Raleigh/Cary Bloggers meetup went down earlier this evening.
Present were Dave Johnson, Rick Ross, and myself - an impressive concentration Java geeks if I've ever seen one. Sparse though the crowd may have been, there was no shortage of excellent conversation.
We convened at 6:30 at Cafe Cyclo (where, unfortunately [or perhaps not], the wi-fi didn't flow quite as freely as the wine, coffee, and beer) and talked for slightly more than three hours.
Topics included:
- many things Java
- Javalobby and Roller
- Dave's upcoming book: Blogs, Wikis, and Feeds In Action
- PHP as a movement
- cpanel and other types of web administration software
- the b2evolution PHP multi-user blogging engine
- 20Q, a really interesting sounding kids' toy
- Blogging Carnivals
- The Internet Search Engines FAQ and search engine optimization
and many more that I can't recall off the top of my head.
Dave and I wondered aloud on perhaps making the Raleigh/Cary meetup a monthly event (as opposed to weekly), given the level of interest thus far, and also on possibly moving the meetings to Wednesday. Comments on these matters would be greatly appreciated.

We'll be meeting on Tuesday of this week again.
See Dave's announcement. I'll be posting one here as well.
Hopefully I'll get some time this weekend to work on the old MT install and will fix the insidious 1.
I never found a solution to the previous dynamic problem I was struggling with, but I never intended to take the site dynamic "in production" anyway.

Wednesday is bad. Tuesday is better.
And fix the '1'!
Did you give up on going dynamic?
