I was going to write a post about this, but I discovered that the brilliant Bruno had said it all already. All I can add is that I’ll miss the show, it’s been a big part of my spare time for the last four years, it’s taken me to Wolverhampton and San Francisco, given me some of the most random experiences of my life and above all it’s introduced me to a lot of people I now regard as friends. And that now the news is out I haven’t got to stop myself from saying something stupid and accidentally letting it slip early!
Discussions in #lugradio suggest that I’m a member of a pretty exclusive club of people who have been to all the LUG Radio Live events (including the US event earlier this year and the one coming up in the next couple of weeks). The list seems to be: Jono, Aq, Adam, Chris, Matthew Walster and me. Or have we missed someone?
[Update] The ever angry Matthew Garrett is also on the list.
I’ve been off work for a week having had two teeth removed under general anesthetic and popping pills which have left me somewhat dazed and confused. Yes, more than normal. I’m back to work tomorrow though, and one thing is clear - LUG Radio Live UK 2008 is going to be a blast! Laura has been talking to Emma who it will be great to hook up with again, having met her at LRL USA. Plus lots of British and European people giving fine talks! I’m running the AV crew again, and this year hope to have enough AV crew to enable me to have some time off!
Go to http://lugradio.org/live to find out about hotels, speakers etc.
This has been a belated attempt to do my bit for publicity! I have a sick note though…
Some of you, maybe, might have noticed that this site was AWOL for a few days earlier this week. Well, that you’re reading this means that it’s all OK again now. At least, I think it is. If you notice any problems with the site, please let me know.
The site is now hosted in the US of A, so it may not be quite a zippy for those of us in the UK, but needs must. Basically my hosting provider stopped trading. Not without notice, it has to be said, but rather sooner than had been anticipated. This website was just about the last thing left on the old server when it got switched off. The only significant change is that my code repository now has its own subdomain as it’s hosted on a different box from the rest of my website: http://darcs.tonywhitmore.co.uk
I should also take this opportunity to randomly mention Harley Davidson Tours UK and Europe.
