"RIP Milkman of Human Kindness" WebDD and Getting Stuffed in Belper
Posted by Dexter M under: blogging; food; second life; conferences; lactose; belper .
Had an average day at work today - mainly finishing off an estimating task for a potentially big big site.
Ho Hum
Slightly dissapoint to find that Lactose has called a day on his blogging activities - it seems that he feels Second Life is the main thing now. I’ve delved, but not had the time or inclination to jump fully into it yet - although I intrigued by his enterprising scheme of build a TARDIS in SL. Also he announced plans to have a virtual birthday party too - even asked me to DJ - so who knows I may take him up on it.
Also found/re-discovered the WebDD conference - something to do with a geezer I met at d.Construct (named Phil Winstanley) and subsequently the most excelent Ruby On Rails day run by GeekUp in Manchester. It’s got the likes of Scott Guthrie and Glen Jones (of Madgex - the people behind the excellent backnetwork at d.Construct) as speakers. It’s free, but it’s in Reading on Saturday 5th Feb - potentially a logistical challenge, but probably worth it.
So, after work, we had a bit of a swim and then caught the train back up to Belper to meet friends Keith and Karina for a belly busting, and very fine, eat all you can Chinese meal at the River Gardens Cantonese restaurant.
I am now hapilly stuffed.
