To make up for forgetting to send a meeting reminder this week, here's a brief meeting report.
Despite the lack of a reminder there was a good turn out. Richard Lewis, Steve Engledow, Dave Reynolds, Becca Sibley, Paul Corner, Rob[0] (no idea about surname), Neil (again, no idea about surname), Adam Bower, Brett Parker, Eli and myself where all there. We were happily ensconced in our usual corner to the left of the door.
A game of Frustration (which appears to be renamed Ludo) was played, though I'm not sure if it was ever completed. Likewise Steve kept starting random games of Pontoon. More on topic discussions included Neil talking about his Zaurus (I no longer have mine), comparisons of recent AMD/Intel chips (in particular with respect to power consumption) and the difficulties of producing a document management system when all you've got is Word (with an interesting diversion into how UK deers got briefly blamed for BSE in Chile). I've no idea what went on at the other end of the table though.
A good night I think with a good turnout. Hopefully we'll get an equally good result at the Syleham kit meet in a couple of weeks (Saturday 30th April).

[0] Dave claims Rob looks like Noel Fielding of the Mighty Boosh, as seen at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8586532516895205430

Just for the record, it was completed and, if I remember rightly, Rob won and Dave came second.
Well done Rob!
;-)
Cheers, Richard

No, I won! Rob came second!
I also remember talking about calenders, specifically google calendar and how crap Evolution still is.
Cheers,
Dave

Ahhh yes, that was somewhere about the time that Noodles got there, I wonder why he forgotted - probably wishful thinking that it never happened ;)
So, next weeks project for someone with lots of time and that's bored... write a calender server that is (a) open source (b) functional and (c) has plugins for the major software groups (Evolution, (Thunder|Sun)bird, and Outlook...), also give it a web front end and a defined API (Web 2.0 compliant fun ;) and then get everyone in the world to use it by, oh, say, a week next thursday!
Good luck!
Cheer, Brett.

Sorry. Well done Dave! Rob: try harder next time. ;-)
