A pleasant meeting in the Fountain, attended by Rob, Daniel, Simon, Ted, Kirsty and Adam. A penguin was present, as was lots of very interesting conversation about wireless internet, open source hardware etc etc (over a game of cards :). We met at 7pm (well, a bit after 7 for most of us - sorry Rob and Daniel!) and did not adjourn till after 10.30pm so it was a good night out!
It was nice to meet Simon and Ted at last. The conversation was indeed nice and geeky, I think adding the deck of cards to the mix helped to fill any awkward silences a bunch of geeks often end up generating, albeit not trying to do so ;-)
Rob and I arrived at 7 and left around 9:15 due to needing to do stuff at home, but it was a lovely evening.
I'm all for making this a more regular thing for the Ely/Nr-Ely crowd. Perhaps every two or three weeks would be good. Admittedly it'd be nice if we could get a venue to have a talk etc, but just making sure there's face2face socialising within the LUG is a good thing.
