Off to London

I’m off to London tonight, and will be there from Saturday 16th to Sunday 24th August. It’s my first time there — a bit of a colonial pilgrimage — so I’m really looking forward to it.

It’s part work and part play, which is to say that I’ll be working and enjoying myself simultaneously. They’re kicking us out of the office to work from home for a week while they remodel, so I saw no reason why I had to work from my own home or indeed my usual timezone. Hence I’ll be working while in London, but enjoying the scenery while I do it.

A few events worth mentioning:

• I’ll be at the Pembury on Sunday; I gather it’s quite the gathering for people of a certain sort. Will I see you there?
• Monday night there’s a London.pm emergency social at the Windsor Castle pub.
• Tuesday night, meeting the crabby old bats=.
• Wednesday night we’ll be having a Freebase meetup at the Yorkshire Grey in Holborn.

Plus, of course, a bunch of workish meetings during the days. It’s going to be a busy week, I think. If you’re in London and would like to catch up, please drop me a line.
