World Cup and Conferences Schedule Conflicts

June 08, 2006

So FIFA World Cup 2006 is going to start tonight. Japan’s 1st match is against Australia and is on Monday night 10pm Japan localtime. We’re gonna watch the game in my apartment with a huge HDTV screen. That’s gonna be very exciting!

One sad thing, though. If Japan makes it to pass the qualifying round, I have to watch the final tournament games outside of Japan, namely in US (San Francisco, Chicago, Boston and New York). Looks like YAPC::NA organizers didn’t care much about the shcedule overlap with FIFA World Cup, because they’re American.

Agh.
