connaticDay three of YAPC, and I'm attending Ingy's talk on YAML. The hecklers in the crowd just received one of the two microphones - they've received official status.
The evening of day two was fun, except for the minor issue of my room key not working. The professional and friendly staff at CMU sorted that out quickly. The conference dinner was at the Heinz field, with the usual TPF auction. The privilege of taking Larry Wall out for lunch was auctioned off for a thousand dollars, very impressive.
Today's sessions end at three, and then it's back to NYC. It'll be hard to go back to work on mostly closed-source stuff - YAPC is always motivating, and I always want to get more involved in the Open Source community when I return; but little tends to come of it.
