Europe trip log
June 16th, 2008
Wow, how bad a blogger am I (ok, I never really had the moniker anyway). But it’s way long since I updated the ole papyrus. I’ve been back from Europe for 2-3 weeks and it’s been non-stop meetings since. Let’s first start by recapping that trip.
First stop was London – a few meetings and some quality time with my god-daughters (little Irish identical twin girls). Next was Dublin for more meetings – I’m on the advisory board of PutPlace, so met with Joe Drumgoole and then lunch with Joe and Niall Larkin. Joe, after paying for lunch, also organized a very nice little meetup and some interesting folks showed up, including Paul Campbell, Marcus MacInnes, Eoghan McCabe and Dennis Deery. Oh yes, and I said hi to Bill de hÓra for 60 secs as he whizzed by… good to see him again, albeit briefly.
Then it was off to Hamburg, where Sarik Weber invited me to give a keynote address at the Facebook Developer Garage. Nice reviews of my talk here and here (if you read German).
Back in London, Tom Hughes-Croucher took me out to lunch and gave me this birthday card (like, a real one), which I haven’t seen for ages. Thanks Tom!
And finally, I met the BT/Osmosoft chaps… Jeremy Ruston, Paul Downey, Phil Whitehouse, Phil Hawksworth and others. Confabb is doing a very interesting collaboration with them that’ll beta at SuperNova.

If there’s a shortfall of any sort on the blogging side. You sure make up for it with all those ‘off the record’ stories over lunch
