M[ou]gu?ers, Anyone got a lightening cable I could borrow at Gunmakers king enough to charge my iPhone 5 tonight? I sent a lot of photos to Flickr today, and Vodaphone sucked me dry! Thanks, David (in airplane mode for a few hours)

That place is frigging *huge*! Puts the Air and Space Museum in DC to shame, too. The line for the Natural History Museum went far down the street and around the corner. They must be giving away candy or Just Bieber tickets or something. Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow! Best, David

Re: Theory In Town
If you have all day, the museums in Kensington are good and free and have paid engaging cinema. Attenborough penguins in the natural history soon I believe...

Re: Theory In Town
I shall be inTown on Saturday (flying to Kiev on Sunday morning). Maybe a family friendly social on Saturday afternoon would be a good thing? On Monday, August 5, 2013, David E.

Sorry for the late notice, I should have written sooner. Happy to do it, though, if a venue can be found. I’m especially excited about Sqitch these days, and ready to evangelize at the drop of a hat.

My wife would sooner watch paint dry than spend an evening with geeks without their spouses/partners. :-) So no need for that, I think. Thanks! David

(Not many in Arles, > where we are spending the summer, and then there is the language issue…) Our social venues tend to be grown-ups decompressing after with with surprising quantities of beer. While we're all a well-behaved friendly bunch and we welcome all comers, an 8yo would probably feel somewhat out of place and get bored quickly. There is of course the possibility of finding a more family-friendly venue for a non-Thursday social, but I'm not sure where to suggest.
Theory In Town
London.pmers, I will be visiting your fair city for a week, starting this Tuesday, August 6, on vacation with my family, staying near the Kensal Rise and Kensal Green Tube stations. We should get together and hang out! Some possibilities: * I see you have a social on Thursday. I could probably make it to that. Where should I go? * I could give a talk some evening, assuming a space with a projector could be organized. Possible topics are pgTAP and Sqitch. http://sqitch.org/ http://pgtap.org/ * I could come for a social some other night. Unless I give a talk, my wife and 8yo daughter might come along, as well. Anyone got kids she could play with during our visit? (Not many in Arles, where we are spending the summer, and then there is the language issue…) What do you think?
