  very interesting from my point of view

  Why?

  Or, more helpfully

  1. What did you find interesting about it - what weren't you expecting?
  2. As a newcomer, what do we do right?
  3. What could we do better? For bonus points, how?
  4. Did you expect the Spanish Inquisition?

    Oh, hard questions...

    1. I was interested in the multi-ligual stuff, as I work for a company with lots of language problems, and that was interesting to hear about. Ponie was interesting, but at this stage I thought it was really well presented, as there isn't much to talk about yet - if you see what I mean. I like XML, so anything about XML is interesting, even if I know it already. The MP3 stuff was interesting as I like the problem, and I liked other stuff too.
    2. I thought the presentations were well organi

  Had I know you were there, I would have said hello, but I didn't spot any stone archways [perlmonks.org] lingering with intent ;)

  One of the nice things when I do get down to London.pm meetings, is there is always someone I've met online who I get to meet in person. This time around it was Dom2 [perl.org], a very nice chap.

  Hopefully you'll be well enough to make it to YAPC::Europe. Just look for the noisiest bunch of reprobates, that'll be London.pm ;)

    Since I put my back out I feel like a stone archway.... stiff and bent over.

    Yes I know it's a lame picture, but it's vaguely monastic, and I hate having my picture taken...... If I could find a decent picture of me, I'd stick it on PM or my YAPC page, however the best ones are also the least useful from a recognition point of view...!

      I have to confess mines pretty awful, but seeing as several people have managed to figure out who I am when attending Birmingham.pm meetings, it's been useful at least.

      Dodging the tomatoes is another matter.
