        Sorry to bore the attendees with this but maybe some are not aware of this so here goes....

        First off if you are traveling to Basecamp and are from one the following countries...

        Andorra
        France
        Luxembourg
        Singapore
        Czech Republic
        Austria
        Germany
        Monaco
        Slovenia
        Estonia
        Australia
        Iceland
        Netherlands
        Spain
        Hungary
        Belgium
        Ireland
        New Zealand
        Sweden
        Latvia
        Brunei
        Italy
        Norway
        Switzerland
        Lithuania
        Denmark
        Japan
        Portugal
        United Kingdom
        Slovakia
        Finland
        Liechtenstein
        San Marino
        Republic of Malta
        South Korea
        Greece

        ...you need to 'Apply for an Authorization to Travel to the United States'. Now you may have filled in similar info when you booked your flight etc., but it's better to be safe than sorry and go through this process again. It only takes a few minutes and approval to travel is issued fairly quickly. I'd hate to hear someone refused entry because of this.

        You can read more here and apply here

              Thanks Rich, All done. I also noted that it must be accepted 72 hours prior to departure.... 😉

                did I ever commit war crimes between 1930-46 - NO among other silly questions although all for a good course im sure!
                yeah I did that form once I had booked my flights, apparently they are going to be charging £9 from next year for the visa waiver if it still stands!!!! just a vicious rumor tho?
                Have never travelled to the states before apparently another set of forms to fill out on the plane also??

                  Haha. I have a visa (for another 8 years) so I do not need to do this whole hassle.

                  But yes, Rich, thanks for the reminder in case someone forgets.

                    AND when you get the question, "Is the purpose of your visit the overthrow of the Government of the United States of America?"... do NOT answer 'yes' unless you want to miss Basecamp! 😉

                        WooHoo! I know you all have not been following the drama in my life surrounding attending this event - but it has not been very certain that I was acutally going to make it.

                        BUT!, I just booked my flight (literally 2 minutes ago), I've got time off from work, and I WILL BE THERE!

                        I'll even make it to the pre-party I think. I get in to Denver at 5:40pm tomorrow. So I might be a little late, but that is probably ok.

                        Only real problem is I have no place to stay (and virtually no money left in my bank account 😳 ). I'll probably try to sneak into someone's room while they are less than sober and sleep in their closet. So if you notice some extra snoring coming from your closet, its just me! 😄

                        Chris - see you all there.

                        Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

                            It turns out that the downstairs rooms are 2x double bedded while the upstairs ones are 1x double only. Mike and Rich are upstairs while me downstairs but going to share with Pete (as of the latest situation we skyped).

                            No-one really cares in the motel anyway and they do not ask anything at breakfast either.

                            Te pub/grill we are going tomorrow is just next building. Food is acceptably cheap and the waitresses a bit "more than acceptably" pretty (and kind).t with them already Mike has been in deep contact with them already (knows all the names, professions etc.)

                                  I think the others are still hanging out, but I had to run and check in...so here is a taste. I'm sure they will be posting in the group picasa album tonight.IMG_0390.JPG

                                  They, of course, went over the new release and its highlights.
                                  We all got a bamboo flash drive with Version 8 Pro included...attempting to install now.

                                  Got to meet Eric...but hopefully will get to meet more folks tonight at the Birds of a Feather dinner.

                                  BTW - I ended up with a Suite if there are some overcrowding issues...not sure how that happened.

                                      Looks like Chris Fullmer is looking for a place to crash.

                                      see his post a few up.

                                        Hey, I did find a place to crash, thanks to everyone for the offers!

                                        I'be got lots of pics to post. I'll probably make my own Picasa album and then also add them to the one we've got going here.

                                        All in all it was an awesome event. I'm glad Monday is a holiday here so I've got another day to decompress after all the events of Basecamp.

                                        I also ended up doing a presentation on beginning ruby. Since everyone is interested in hearing about all the presentations, I'll post my discussion in its entirety here:


                                        Uhhhh, ummmm,,,, uhhh.,eerrr well rubyy,,,,ummm. I like scripts.,,,,,ummmmm. Hey Rick Wilson just walked in the door, he can take over now!

                                        The end 😄 Well, it went a little better than that, but you could learn more about beginning ruby by watching my youtube videos. I went to the beginning ruby session to learn something. When I walked in, I was informed that I was leading thte discussion. And that it was on a Mac (and I am strictly PC) and that the ruby console does not work on a Mac (which I always use). So yeah, I was doomed from the start. But it was lots of fun.

                                        Chris
