[...] As for demos, well, weren't we supposed to have a demo/talk on the alug website tools on Sunday? Weren't you one of the many that didn't turn up? Weren't you going to give that talk?
Yes, yes, yes.
(I know you didn't turn up, you told me to make your appologies via sms, I don't know *why* you couldn't turn up, but as you seem to be the one making the large prods towards more kit meetings and talks, it seems strange that you don't even turn up to one that was organised).
I'm not going to publish why I didn't turn up. I did try to let you all know, using the only contact I had to hand (there wasn't one in the meeting announcement). Even so, I didn't think there would be much interest from the people going, as it wasn't mentioned in the meeting announcements, nor was the web page mentioned. Was I wrong?
Anyway, I want to *see* interesting kit and demos, not just try to show all the time. The Norwich meetings mainly consist of sitting around chopsing and - while I like you, Brett - it is over two hours driving or just under four hours public transport for a few short chats during the evening, unless I can combine the trip with other purposes. Now things here are busier, I'm more tired than I was.
If someone wants to offer kit and demos (Linux-FT is "heritage", eh?), please do so now for Syleham.
