I haven't been posting much here, I know. I've been posting quite a bit on Flickr, of which more anon, though, so feel free to head over there and take a look (I'm working on integrating my Flickr posts with this blog).
In the meantime, I thought I'd share an ad that just tickled me:

or Priest? Take Free Online Test To see if God is calling you . . .

Ah, the lazyweb. Good for everyone.

I seem to blog more when I'm at conferences. I have a sneaking suspicion that his is due to the fact that I've got time on my hands, being that it's not yet lunch time but there's no talks on that I want to go to. That was less of an issue yesterday, but at least there are tables near power points where I can plug in and bang at the keyboard like a monkey for a while.
The talks that I have been to, in complete contrast to PHPConUK earlier this year (which was on one day in a single lecture theatre in London) have all been interesting and informative, and I've Learnt Stuff, which is always a boon. Only one talk, the Stackless Python + PyPy one, has sailed over my head so far, and that, I feel, was probably something to do with the fact that a) I've never done Stackless before and b) I missed the introductory Stackless talk yesterday in favour of the introduction to Twisted, which I felt would be rather more helpful for work purposes.
But I've enjoyed myself. I've met new and interesting people, networked a bit (though I'm not terribly good at that because it never occurs to me until too late that person X to whom I've just spoken might be able to help me in the future in some way), Learned Stuff and discovered that having a pre-beta OS on your laptop can cause interesting things to happen, like wifi suddenly going away or very long, very loud terminal bells when you shut the thing down.
I've also made a list of the features I want for grahambinns.com version 0.2, but that can wait until the next post.

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and
software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too
much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent
hat. He has been making things up for as long as he
can remember and has been making code work for long enough
to make a living from it.
He has written one novel, which is in the process of
composting, and is working remembering how to write before
embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs
things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up
in his head all of the time.
