Where was everybody?
<excuses> Erm I didn't make it as everything was a bit late in the day for me to gather all of my enthusiasm especially when it comes to computers seeing as my laptop and 2 desktops and palm were all in different states of brokeness (not my fault, mainly hardware problems!) so i was going to spend time fixing things up on the weekend. (BTW I now have a Sparc with Debian unstable on =)) also the car insurance ran out last week so I didn't know if we would have a car until around thursday, then i would have had to put 30 quids worth of petrol in, which is not easy when you are owed 3100 quid from your last job and on the verge of going bankrupt.... </excuses>
Anyhow thats enough excuses from me, I do hope to make future meetings but it is now quite a bit more trouble to go as we spend 4-5 hours driving in a day to get to them, (oh and the stereo in the car is broken now! which makes journeys loads more boring)
I would say that a turnout that low is very untypical and the venue sounds absolutely fantastic, I hope to make it there soon.
