London Perl Workshop

First off, I'd like to thank all those in organising the LPW, it was great! I got there for about 9:30, wondered round talking to various people. Dave Green did a really cool opening speach - with a song as promised.

It was good to see so many people I didn't recognise as well as so many I did. The word was obviously spread in the right places, I wonder what effect it will have on the London perl comunity and perl in London Companies.

The talk times seemed to work well, 30 mins for the learner track and 45 for the advanced. Enough to give you a taster and pointers where to look for more information.

I did my talk in the afternoon Pages, results and caching I was a bit nervious, this being my first talk to such a large group of people. I realised after (heignsight being such a wonderful thing) that I should have said I was just covering some aspects of the modules I covered and people should read the docs to find out more. I didn't have any questions asked when I asked, I don't know if this was because I explained it so clearly, or people didn't have a clue what I was talking about :)!

I guess I'll see how bad it was when the video comes out!

It did spark a few conversations after the talk, so at least two people were listening!

There was then much drinking, a dodgy Chinese and more drinking.

I'm of for Xmas hols on Tuesday so have a great Christmas (or "Holiday Season" if thats your thing) and a fantstic New Year
