Today’s the Day!

That’s right folks, it’s time for another edition of Ajax Pub Nite!

Ajax Pub Nite

Today, Aug. 11 @ 7pm

Come join us at an excellent neighborhood pub for a pint while we discuss web application development, JavaScript, web standards, and whatever happened to “remote scripting”.

There is no price for admission, but there are likely to be several eeePC laptops on hand to take advantage of the free wifi (with at least one more than usual, since I picked one up last month :) !). There is bound to be something going on you would not want to miss!

See you all there!

Reminder: Ajax Pub Nite #4 is tonight!

Just a reminder to everyone, our fourth Ajax Pub Nite is happening tonight at 7pm at The Rhino (that’s 1249 Queen Street West). Come have a beer with us and engage in some nerdy JavaScript talk. You can RSVP on the Facebook event page.

Hope to see you all there!

Asynchronous Beer and Geeking

How bad are the ones I came up with, you ask? Well, for your entertainment (and my personal embarrassment), I present you with my list of rejected site taglines (I want to warn you in advance that a lot of these—if not all of them—are kinda out of left field, and didn’t quite represent both the Ajax and Pub Nite aspects in a way I liked, which is why they were rejected), so bear with me):

Photos from Ajax Pub Nite #1

Ajax Pub Nite #1 was a smashing success! We had around 25 people show up—not at all bad for a first event—and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves quite well. We were at The Rhino—same place as Rails Pub Nites, and a appropriate venue, if I do say so myself. Thanks to everyone who came out!I was so caught up in all the whole thing that I forgot to call to attention two things I wanted to discuss: coming up with a half-decent tagline for the site Update: that’s been resolved, and brainstorming some ideas for a good enough parody for JSOFF (as opposed to JSON). Oh well, there’s always next month I suppose :-) .

Brent took some photos, as did I:
