Tonight I skipped out on the pre-event party, and instead enjoyed a quiet night of book reading, presentation preparation, and t-shirt ironing before the Northern Voice storm. (Who irons their t-shirts? Me, that's who.) Tomorrow morning I'll present very briefly an intro to blogging, then conspire Lloyd to get people started on WordPress.com, then attend a Moosecamp session or two—a potential session on multilingual blogs looks interesting—and finally attend a blogger meetup. I'll try to sneak in some alone time, at which point I'll have yet another good hearty laugh about what Darren Barefoot wrote yesterday. Then on Saturday I'll attend the conference part of the conference.
I probably won't respond to your email until Sunday.

I believe I had the reverse effect on your listing, and drove JustaGwailo.com down instead of up. I am SEO kryptonite, apparently.
It's balanced out by the positive effect your post had on my ego!
Briefly before I do a real post mortem: I'm pretty happy with how my session went. I was much better prepared than last year, slides were better, I ran out of time but covered everything I wanted to. One thing I would do differently: don't give legal advice, or at least state that I'm not a lawyer. A wit said that something will go wrong during your presentation, and that was it. It came up in a question, so in that respect it caught me a little off guard, but at least now I know what to do next time. Naturally I have some ideas for how to improve, but I'll save that for a fully-qualified post.
It's great to see you blogging regularly again, and I'll see you tonight at VBM.
:)
Guess I didn't end up seeing you there, Raul. Karen and I had a quiet night instead (she had a long day, complete with a very early morning flight).
