NPW 2009 without the verbs

[ #38832 ]

Here, a blog entry entirely without any verbs, with a summary about my experiences around NPW 2009. Yes, nounification of some verbs as a possible workaround — so, legal prosecution of yours truly as necessary.

The amazing amount of procrastination of mine before a presentation such as the one in my queue this time. Not only with the slides but with the actual slide software.
A feeling of relative satisfaction (or at least non-dissatisfaction) on the part of my audience during my presentation.
Likewise, my admiration for the other speakers and their talks, as part of audience during same.
A real enjoyment on my part of the Friday party; entirely in my taste.
Many important meetings with people. Some of them for the first time.
Overall excellent food. Oslo as a Nordic capital of consistently good food.
A hackathon afterwards (two days for me, three for others) with massive amounts of activity, both code and social.
All in all, unbounded satisfaction. More of this!

Any comments of yours also without verbs if possible. Thanks.
