Anyone know how to do this?

I can't quite figure out a good way to google it or there's just nothing out there on it.

Jeff and Wayne and Jason and Jack and me are all at SQL Saturday #156. What happened? Did the rest of you miss the memo?

If that happens, I'll run away and hide as far as I can.
Uh, wait... isn't that New Zealand?
C'mon Paul, get the guest room ready! 😀
According to http://www.antipodemap.com/ that puts you just outside Salamanca, Spain - I don't think that's quite right somehow. I think you may need a boat...
He might have meant as far away from civilization as possible, in which case New Zealand might have been more accurate... 😛

No, it would be pretty inaccurate, since the best known measure of "farness from civilisation" is the reciprocal of the distance (in miles) from 39°N 77°W. :hehe:

I was working on a massive threadizen post and... lost it due to the vagueries of IE 10.
Short form: Is there a yearly threadizen gathering that I'm unaware of. If no... what's the interest in having someone organize it?

Umm... Craig...

Seriously considering dropping 2005 from my list of forums to monitor. Any driving reason why I shouldn't? I dropped 2000 a long time ago.
