[Shameless Plug] -- Embedded Systems Conference

Just teach it in reverse and tell your students to push the material on their internal stacks and pop through later on when they get a chance. ;)

Best wishes to you, Tim. I had noticed you in the preliminary program.

Basic

Why do they always have the ESC in San Francisco? I can't go there, and wouldn't if I could. The Anaheim Convention center site would be a better choice! Or even Los Vegas!

Restraining order?

There are branch ones all over- Boston, Chicago, Shenzhen

Allows most of Silicon Valley to attend... The silicon valleys in southern california, prefer to stay at the beach :-)

and

Company will not pay for anything in the SF area, they say it is too expensive. They will pay in Anaheim or LV! I've even been allowed to book in Phoenix and Denver (Gun Barrel, CO). Just NOT SF!

No other explanation!

Actually Silicon Valley is in north central California, (Bay area) and that is 357 miles north of the Irvine, CA company I work for. (Abt 600KM)

You going to the ESC?

So you can't go to New York, Boston, Chicago, and any other major city? I don't find San Francisco any more expensive than any of the above, in fact I think I usually pay less in San Fran. I usually use Expedia or Hotels.com or some other discount broker, and don't stay at the conference hotels ...

San Francisco is not necessarily more expensive than those other cities, if you avoid the big hotels downtown. One option is to find a hotel near CalTrain or Bart. These are the commuter rail services. You can walk from either to the convention center. I stay with family and do this several times a year. Don't rent a car, parking will kill you.

Air tickets are usually available at discount rates if you plan ahead. I pay from $200-$250 from Minneapolis.

If I wanted to go, I would predetermine hotels and travel options, and then talk to the powers that be.

Hi Tim,

I will almost certainly be at the Analog Devices booth. I would love to buy you a beer. Any other comp.dsp'ers ?

They're afraid you'll come back with pink hair?

SPIKED pink hair ;-)

Hey, it worked on Gwen Stefani.

He's in Orange County. It's a miserly $39 each way via Southwest (Ontario San Jose or Oakland) with 14 day advance purchase.

Yup. Sounds like a rather Dilbertian policy.

Someone presented a $1,200 expense report for a one night stay: claimed it was because the hotels were so expensive. Wouldn't have anything to do with a pair of hookers? Nah....

Perhaps they should just not reimburse expenses for "room service".

Unless a customer is paying, anything over 1,000 Miles is just not considered. Price is not the issue, it's just policy.

BTW the last time I went to SF, it was an hour and a half each way from SJ motel to the Conference, and if you drove Parking was so far away you needed a bicycle to get to the hall.

I suspect it was abuse by sales people that got this policy in place. Diners for four at $900, and renting a Ferrari for a week! But no one will say! Funny too, they spring for a three day weekend in SD at a nice beach side place for the entire staff with family, as a Christmas party! But travel is tight!
