By my crude calculations, it is now 99 days until the third annual international Ruby Conference in Austin, Texas, November 14-16, 2003. I urge you all to be there. Go to rubycentral.org and pre-register if you haven't already. In fact, do so even if you can't attend. We are tracking the reasons people say they can't attend.
