Seriously, this ain't "weather"

Of course, I'm biased because I grew up in NY and went to college further north in NY--in the snow belt (you know, the places where they were racking up a foot of snow a day for a week or so

When you say "programmer," I think what you really mean is "web developer."

How about "web interested programmer"?

Despite the distinct differences between the different languages used, people who work with code that isn't just a markup language are all programmers.

A programmer can be taught to be a developer--and all the real developers I know are programmers (in my book)--but there's a certain way the mind works that just needs to be there.

The important thing is: Everyone should show up at least once. :)

What I meant was that if you happen to be, say, a systems programmer, you have a very good excuse for not being there, i.e., "I don't do this newfangled web stuff." I wasn't trying to make a distinction between programmers and developers beyond "web people probably wouldn't be caught dead using an unfashionable word like 'programmer.'"

An interesting thing about down here is that they don't have to read the name of every last town and township to get through all the school district closings. This is why we typically cracked the door and waited for a fire whistle at 7am, which meant school was closed. Oh, how our city relatives mocked us and our small town Long Island ways.

Well, I reckon I'll be there. :D
