>>Hi All

>>Got all my last confirmations for Devcon, hotel, airfare, etc....last year I had to cancel less than 3 days before the conference due to client emergency....Also was lined up to attend several years ago for the first Orlando DevCon but also had to cancel with days to spare.

>>Anyone know any appeasement rituals to keep the gods of fickle IT issues from pooping on my DevCon this year? :-)

>Turn off your pager and fax machine. Then put your phones on auto-forward to voice mail. :)

Dropping the pager a couple of times is even MORE successful. Then you can swear you had it on. Also, be sure you don't listen to that voice mail.
