Dinner with Dani
A big thanks to everyone who braved the torrential rain to make it to the Dinner with Dani event in New York on Wednesday. It was really great seeing everyone there, and the technical discussions at the various tables seemed to go well.
I couldn't make it to the end of the after party myself, jet lag beat me into submission, but congrats to whoever won the free raffle for the iPad! I'm not jealous at all, oh no...

Shame about the rain, but hey it's New York. Must have been amazing! So jealous, I love that place.

Photos are up on the DaniWeb fans page on Facebook here . I'm the big bald one with the tattoos in the photos...
The event itself was very cool, from the Dinner with Dani part through to the after party.

It seemed like a fun event though it was unfortunate that not many could show up due to personal/geographical reasons. BTW, Dani, you sure have changed a lot. :-)

Ditto here. After trying to read the name tags attached, I thought I saw Toba/Blud/Aia in the crowd, though I could be mistaken. ;-)

David Doria was there, as was one of our former news story staff writers Eddie Correia. My friend Dan (incissor / samaru) was also there, DaniWeb's very first member ( http://www.daniweb.com/forums/member12.html ).
How have I changed, hehe? :)

You look slimmer. You´re also a lot smaller then I expected, this is very clear on the pic with you and Davey. There´s more then a feet difference between the two of you :D
>>I would have loved to be there
Same here. Next time: organize it in Europe.

The dinner was great! It's always interesting to have conversations with people from such varying backgrounds. The pictures look great, too! What was the deal with the glasses with no lenses? I saw Dani had them on for a while, then they disappeared.
Unfortunately I couldn't stick around for much of the after party, but it was certainly rockin'!
Are there any more Daniweb events in the foreseeable future?

The glasses were 'nerd glasses' and people were being photographed on the red carpet with them for a bit of fun. I have no sense of humour so declined :)
Further DaniWeb events down the road are certainly something everyone involved would like to see happen, so watch this space...

You look more...mature? ;-)
Joking aside, your photos at the event are certainly different from the ones in your avatar and profile.

Speaking of which, where did our profile-pic go? I can still upload one, but can't seem to find it on my profile-page?

Now that's bizarre! Mine seems to still be there but everyone else's profile I've looked at so far is sans pic.
I think Dani is off to a conference in California this week, leaving today, so this might take a tad longer to fix than normal but I'll flag it up with her now.

Hi,
After the full week in the city for Internet Week, I'm just SOOOO far behind in work, I unfortunately cancelled my Cali trip at the last moment.
You can see profile pics by clicking on avatars.

Unfortunately, everyone's avatar seems to have vanished from their profile pages. I'm guessing mine is actually in my browser cache which is why I can see that one.

Sorry for the confusion. You can see a profile pic when you click an avatar from a profile a page.
