I'm not 100 % sure I can make it, but probably. Nice initiative by the way! If it’s not too late, I’d like to join. I’m not 100 % sure I can make it, but probably. Nice initiative by the way!

Especially when you live out in the woods and only have the occasional elk to talk Geek Speek with... :o) I feel like a real stranger but I thought I would drop a note anyway. Since I am on parental leave I will have some difficulties to attend to the party but it seems to be great fun and as an old novice it feels like an excellent place to get some serious knowledge while meeting interesting people. Cheers! The Geek Meet sounds like a great idea!

For example, you don't have the ability to add your own labels to the top of each of the date-format dropdowns, only blanks. One of the first things I did as a front end developer was get my hands 'dirty' in the rails source and overwrite the rails date-format methods to do this very thing.
