Managed World

Well, since no other of my cohorts have blogged about it yet (minus Jason Mauer of course), I wanted to let everyone else know that the initial Portland Code Camp website is up and running. There is little information on it as of currently because we are still in the planning stage. But there is a way to register if you wish to go (it's free of charge and is on the weekend (so hopefully you won't have to miss any work)).

Portland Code Camp

The website will be filled in a lot more in the coming days and weeks hopefully.

P.S. I especially love how Jason M. took the top-level of domain for the country of Montserrat and adapted it for a "Microsoft" top-level domain. Clever Jason M. ;) I'm not sure I would have done the same myself (is Microsoft in the business of taking over foreign governments now ?), but to each his own :).

One of my favorite corporate spoof sites was www.microsnot.com. They made their page up to look like Microsoft's (at the time) with fake press releases about products like Microsnot Bomb 1.0 (they were sending it to their competitors to beta test).

My favorite was the one about how Microsnot acquired England, and as a result they now owned the English language (now listed with a trademark). They announced that using the full version of English would require registration with Microsnot, but a trial version would be available with a limited vocabulary. You can see it thanks to archive.org at: http://web.archive.org/web/19961111033732/http://www.microsnot.com/

(and to think I work for MS now, snicker :)
