Over the weekend, I had got to the point of committing myself to go to the very next URUG meeting, but didn't know at the time when it would be (I haven't had time to keep up with the URUG list for a while and don't subscribe to the XML feed -- I should).<BR/><BR/>Monday I got in to work and checked Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24599054.post-17396449820690475162007-09-26T11:03:00.000-07:002007-09-26T11:03:00.000-07:00I live in Provo and still didn't make it. There ar...I live in Provo and still didn't make it. There are numerous reasons that added up. For one, I didn't really know about it. It shows up on my calendar (from the xml feed) so I knew there was a meeting, however the interest wasn't strong enough that I remembered it. Which is what I mean about not knowing, I didn't know what it was about.

I don't know what everyone else's situation is, but nights are just nearly impossible for me to take out and make the meetings.

I haven't been to a Ruby meeting in a while because of time constraints, and the reason I didn't attend last nite was for that exact reason.

I try to make it out to every URUG meetings in SLC and so I think location plays a part in this as well. While I was interested in learning about these implementations the drive just wasn't possible/worth it for me. I think fellow URUG rubyists not living down south would say the same.
