Following dConstruct, I have definately felt the need to become greater involved in the general Web dev/geek communitiy. If nothing else it gives me the opportunity to rant about my general work frustrations! Tonight I ended up at PubStandards…..Not a bad night, aside from manly just talking to Dreyfuss and Stu, who happened to be in town for Rails Con Europe 2000 or something! Also saw Frances - sorry I didn’t say hello, I don’t want to be giving a drunken impression of me! Plus, whoever had the t-shirt - Battlestar Galactica rocks!My only major gaffe, aside from the beer consumption, was my chat-up line:
“So, are you here for the geek thing then?”
Unfotunately I had not prepared myself for a “No”! Luckily my phone rang at that exact same instant, diverting me away to see why our homepage was not getting a response from x+1 and also not loading default content…. yeah, my eyes glazed over at this point too!Following dConstruct, I have definately felt the need to become greater involved in the general Web dev/geek communitiy.
