Another excellent london.pm technical meeting

Another excellent london.pm technical meeting last night.

I tried out my "Why Perl Advocacy is a Bad Idea" lightning talk. It still needs some work. Concensus is that it needs to be more shouty!

Mark Fowler gave two lightning talks for the price of one. The first was about how he's using TT2 Views to create a web page for our NMS (Not Matt's Scripts) project. The second was about the progress of that project. It seems to be coming on very well.

Robin talked about Mutagenic Modules - which was full of Robin's usual inspired madness. And made me rethink my TPC paper a bit. When Robin posted the slides to the list this morning, Simon Cozens mentioned that he'd been working on a similar (but different) idea. Turns out that MJD's "You can't just make up any old shit and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!" line might not be true for much longer :)

Jo gave a talk on Tangram - using a very interesting presentational style. And to finish off, Alex generated some more music for us.
