Very quick post because I’m supposed to be going out to photograph most of London (this may be an exaggeration; we’ll see) before too long. Of course, it would have helped if I’d actually done some organising of said photo walk; that may cause problems.
It’s been a good, if very tiring week. We – that is, the Launchpad team – have managed to squeeze a lot of learning into five days, and I think it’s fair to say that we’ve proved our quality as developers and as a development team as a whole. I hope that I’ll be able to take at least two things home from this two week epic:
In other news, I went to Piracy vs Obscurity – an evening with Neil Gaiman last night with a few colleagues. The talk was held in a (very pretty) church crypt and was everything that I was hoping for. It actually encouraged me to perform the butt-in-chair motion that Mur Lafferty has been talking about for years; maybe I will manage something for Halloween this year after all.
A final note on the Gaiman subject should go to my friend Michelle, who was pretty made up to have come out of the evening with a signed copy of The Graveyard Book and a hug from Neil himself. Not a bad evening, all told.
Right. Off to capture London’s soul. I’m sure you’ll see the results later, if I can rely on this fairly flaky hotel wi-fi to withstand the upload.

I can only assume it was you that abducted Mr. Revell this week then! Photo walks sound fun.
Hi Graham, sorry to miss you at the evening with Neil Gaiman. Would you be interested if ORG held an event in Lancaster? We held one in Bristol after we had more than fifteen people say they would be interested in coming along to an event.
