Nerd Dinner Confessions or Nerds Don’t Compute

A secret CIA report leaked today which indicate that this summer there will be an abnormal high concentration of Geeks going towards Olso, Norway. The report states that around on the 17th till the 19th of June the number of Geeks may even reach 2.000!

The CIA picked up a worrying trend from some sort of weird communication channel called Twitter. At first they thought this Twitter thing was just large stream of random generated sentences solely to confuse the receiver, but lately there has been an increase in shatter including the word NDC. The automatic filters at the CIA quickly marked this word as potentially dangerous and a full blown investigation started by a 20 man strong task force team to identify the origin of this thing called NDC. They quickly discovered that it is some sort of cult led by three people called Grothaug, Anoras and Kjersti (who is sometimes also called the wise one or the elderly). The CIA has named this cult the NDC cult for obvious reasons.

After closely analyzing all the Twitter messages containing the word NDC, the task force team came to the conclusion that NDC must stands for “Nerd Dinner Confessions” or “Nerds Don’t Compute” since none of the messages made much sense. The CIA believes this large cult not to be physical dangerous, but is still investigating their technical capabilities.

The reason for the expected increase of Nerd in Oslo on the days between the 17th and the 19th of June is because the leaders of the NDC cult have organized a gathering where they have invited some weird people apparently highly respected by the NDC cult, below are their names:

- Phil Haack
- Scott Hanselman
- Mike Cohn
- Michael Feathers
- Craig Larman
- Robert C. Martin
- Roy Osherove
- Marry Poppendieck
- Kevlin Henney
- Juval Löwy
- Ted Neward
- Luca Bolognese
- Rafal Lukawiecki
- Michele Bustamante
- Sahil Malik
- Rockford Lhotka
- Ayende Rahien
- Udi Dahan
- Tim Huckaby
- Jeremy D. Miller
- Jonas Follesø
- Ian Griffiths
- Jimmy Nilson
- Scott Bellware
- Peter Provost


The CIA is not yet certain about the purpose of this large gathering of Nerds, they have not yet ruled out the possibility that it is to plan for world domination, but as one source within the CIA told me “World domination? Come on they are NERDS” so this is most likely not the case. None the less the CIA will be keeping a close eye on the whole situation.

Apparently the cult website is www.ndc2009.no/en/ and they have some sort of schedule for the gathering which can be seen here: day 1, day 2 and day 3.
