I gave a talk on Blue 2.

Philip gave a talk on copyright law. IanM drops plans to sell "DirkBASIC Professional"

Played UT2004 demo extensively. I won

They probably got so drunk that they did something so obscene that they don't want to post about it

Cheers,

Saw a lot of FPSC - which was quite interesting. Probably will skip the coding challege and get straight to showing off DBPro programs and more UT2004...

I'm home!!

Quote: "Picture Description...
The picture is of Ravey, you can just see the back of his head (Blond Hair) and a woman twice his age. They had thier arms linked together in the middle of the dance floor."


I have more pictures, a lot more form the night that the first one was taken at and a load of people sitting looking at PC's playing games and coding.

But I'm not posting any of them up as they are all going to TGC for the next news letter.

If you don't like it, you should have come to the Con.

Incidentally, Rob, do you mind emailing me either the updated RC4 or a link to the same?

Cheers

Oh well, I guess that the entire story (including the 'furniture' incident) will appear in the newsletter eventually

At the Con we learnt a lot about DeepBlue's Flamethrower FPSC obsession.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank TCA for arranging it. I know these events take ages to sort out so much respect to him.

It was great!

I tortured one of your boys... i learned all about it. But in the name of secrecy, I shall keep closed. Quite funny too.

I hope there are pictures out there of it though.

I see mnem at a laptop in the first picture, and i see TCA a couple of the last ones.

I see lee in 2 of them.

I think that may be philip in the background of one (just going by what a common lawyer looks like).

The only one i truly have no clue about is the person sitting next to mnem on the computer playing some game. Maybe Giff... not sure though.

Nope thats not mnem 0/4

Quote: "I see lee in 2 of them"

Nope Lee is not in any of them (look outside its still light..Lee doesn't seem to do daylight) 0/4

Quote: "I think that may be philip in the background of one (just going by what a common lawyer looks like)."

Philip may well be in 1 or more of the pics (Srry Ian someone thinks you look like a lawyer) ½/4

Quote: "The only one i truly have no clue about is the person sitting next to mnem on the computer playing some game. Maybe Giff... not sure though.....My second guess is El_goorf, if he showed up"

Maybe 1½/4

That was 'incident' not 'indecent'.

Lee was completely will to take all of the blame (was that after the event? ) - I'm just a bit concerned about his fixation with sharing a cell with Mr Big ...

Quote: "I can't see any bears"


Philip came in his human fancy-dress costume, while I decided against the cave-man look for the weekend.

BTW, Why is everyone being inflicted with my picture?
