Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

Up early, 14Mb of mail, bzip2'd it for good measure, and sucked. Need to write a talk today for this evening and get some demos rustled up.
Good to be back at work. Started reading mail and re-building my system from the bottom up, again again.
Lots of mail, mostly very positive.
Started writing the SLUG talk, what fun - tried to generate some new copy.
Nailed a nasty to detect bonobo escaping code bug, that only MALLOC_CHECK_=2 would see.
Finished the talk over several hours; will upload it tommorow. Off to J's, collected her - looking georgeous in her pink skirt etc., and then on to SLUG.
Managed to locate the building, hung around near a group of likely looking hacker types. Met Jeff Waugh - nice guy. Having never been to a LUG before, somewhat perplexed by the question and answer session; interesting in parts though.
Got some teeth into the talk; having J' to grin at when one is idling was nice - and to pick up ones annoying mannerisms, some good questions.
Off to a rather fine Chinese place afterwards, had dinner with Jeff, Ken, [Nasdaq?], Gus, Jeff W, Andrew & ~ Mary & my lass; very pleasant. Passed up on the karaoke opportunity - apparently "I sing" so this was odd :-) They even paid for our meal - wow.
Back home at great length on the train; bed.
