Sock news

[kate]

Just FYI, I've been published! I've got a pattern in this book.

Maybe for the next roms meeting they should hand out socks instead of t-shirts !

So, who votes we have the next workshop in Alaska?

Kate: how many lines of code can you get on a pair of socks? Can you make it 3-D?

John.

I second the motion to have the next meeting in Alaska (Fairbanks).

I further move that a prize be given to the participant that traveled the greatest distance to get there.

Let me know and I'll ask around for a suitable space. The NPRB guys like to go to Girdwood off-season, but that's not near here. A suitable prize? Come during January and we'll take you for a walk around the block (takes almost three hours - ask Enrique). Or I could ask my boss to take you dog mushing.

Edit: Better is a trip to Santa Claus House in North Pole.

So, which sock design is yours? If not featured on the webpage, can we have a photo??

[kate]

The one in the book is better, but here's one I took:

I like em. Pretty cool.

Excuse my ignorance though, what were the strings for?

Rodrigo.

[kate]

The strings are true to an Eastern European sock tradition, for hanging them.

That would be great to have ROMS in Fairbanks. I miss Fairbanks. Although I'd prefer March (great skiing season) or summer with "white nights" and (lots of mosquito) . PLEASE not in January . I think I will be nominated for the prize for the longest travel to Alaska: from Florida this will be the opposite end of the US.
