This time last year I had just arrived in Ottawa for what would be 5 weeks, but a few days in I took a break from my job and got to ride a train to Toronto to be fortunate enough to give a talk at CppNorth the conference. My job kept my hotel room, so I packed a backpack to go live in another, ahah.
July 21, 2026 at 6:54 PM
I went to look at what CppNorth was doing these days(not that I can afford a trip to Canada, but it seemed like a good conference) and they've been assimilated in the AI-brained NDC corporate so yeah, that's a massive shame.

I met Tom at last year's CppNorth conference.

We sat for lunch (as I recall) and had a nice conversation. I look forward to watching this episode!

There are three versions of the talk on my playlist: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Probably the Meeting C++ one is the best; though the CppNorth one is 30 minutes longer and has stuff about money and retirement that is North-America-specific.

I'm at NDC Toronto.

I saw Scott Hanselman on the elevator. We've never been introduced, he doesn't know me, has no reason to, but I remember him from CppNorth last year.

Long story short: I may have unintentionally given him some bad directions, ahah. (sorry if so)

the few people I've ever met in my life that could follow and keep up with all the advanced math topics I was obsessed with.

Side note: I learned Asymptote, and reproduced the Hex board myself (took longer than a few minutes). Last year at CppNorth I brought the game, gave it to Mike Daum
