WWDC
I was checking the links in the last post and noticed that Apple not only moved WWDC (to the Moscone center in San Francisco) but they changed the dates as well (June 23-27)! What's worse is that it is now two days after MacHack! This is going to seriously affect the attendance of both events. Well, at least I won't have to deal with the lame soft water in the Fairmount hotel. I really, really hate soft water. The harder, the better. Actually there is no possible way to do both MacHack and WWDC without massive overlap. MacHack would end events on June 22nd and WWDC usually has Early Bird sessions on the day before (also the 22nd). I guess its possible if you take a flight from Michigan to Oakland (since I only fly Southwest and they don't fly into SF) on the 22nd and completely skip your home town (or something to that effect).

Yes, the MacHack committee is as stunned by this move as anyone. We are pondering some options, but haven't yet decided on anything. Stay tuned. Posted by: Avi on March 21, 2003 11:58 AMOh, C'mon, this is SO easy! Just move MacHack to the previous WWDC date!! That way attendees, just have to change their plane flight! :) (I know, hotel changes, arrangements for transport AT the hotel etc, etc, but you have to admit there's a certain beauty to the idea. Posted by: Wraithe on March 21, 2003 4:36 PMYou ONLY fly Southwest, eh? Well, perhaps they should move the WWDC to Oakland so you can fly right there... I'm surprised you didn't search every inch of San José to find a hotel with hard enough water... Posted by: Anonymous Coward on March 21, 2003 7:07 PMAPPLE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING YO YOURSELF??? First not going to MacWorld NY (UGH! THE ONLY ONE I CAN GET TO!) then moving WWDC back! (UGH! I WAS WAITING ALL YEAR FOR A 10.3 SHOWING!) Are they PURPOSELY trying to SCREW themselves? This is the WORST year since I left the PC world behind. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL JUNE! WTF? Posted by: Jason Anderson on March 21, 2003 7:16 PMJason, i wouldn't call this the worst year. Apple's has looked really good this year. Sure this isn't a good thing, but i think you're over-reacting. Just a bit. Posted by: Jeff Hume on March 22, 2003 12:27 AMActually, given the traffic and the convience of the BART, it may be easier to get to SF from Oakland than from the SF airport itself =). Heck, I was going to fly into Oakland to go to San Jose :D. Posted by: Rincewind on March 22, 2003 9:25 PMKeep comments on topic.
