Stuff and nonsense

Tuesday evening I headed to Manchester to speak at an IBM migration event. Headed out in the evening for a few beers and it was great to meet up with Cliff, Andy, Tony and Colin again. It was really great to see Justin Davies again – I only ever meet him at events, and always have a good laugh. Nice also to see Jon Masters. He never fails to amuse me; funny guy.

The event seemed to go well, and the talk seemed well received. Lots of feedback afterwords and plenty of interest in OpenAdvantage. I belted it back to Wolves to see how the pooches were, and they seemed to get along well. It was the longest they have been left so far.

Yesterday evening we recorded Episode 2 of LUGRadio. On the show we had John Leach, commander-in-chief of the rather amusing Everybody Loves Eric Raymond comic on the show. I didn’t realise that John released the last strip which had a pop at the show, and amazingly, my slightly younger face adorns the t-shirt that Linus wears in the strip. Now my life is complete, with my mug on a most amusing comic strip. Cheers John.

I am sure many of you will be as annoyed with the comment spam as I am. I am feverishly working away on the new site with its Super Comment Spam Reduction Code (TM), and I hope to get it online this weekend. It may be slightly delayed as today we were asked to do a last minute gig at The Little Civic in Wolverhampton on Saturday night. If you are local person for local people, head down for 9pm to see us play.
