14:55.13cityLightshow are you doing back at HK?
14:55.15Leedshi...
14:55.26Leedsbusy, moving to a new flat
14:55.43cityLightscongrats
14:55.51Leedssame building different floor, need to buy some new furniture, etc.
14:55.52cityLightsme too, soon
14:56.02cityLightsIKEA?
14:56.29cityLightsAs I missed you at FOSDEM.. how did you enjoy it?
14:57.41Leedsyup, been to IKEA this evening :)
14:58.14Leedsand I'm really sorry I missed you - in the end, I was only on campus for about 90 minutes, saw wethrin and agk, then had to go meet my family in town
14:59.02cityLightsmaybe you would like to continue in IM now
14:59.10Leedssure
14:59.11cityLightsI want to ask you regarding work
14:59.35Leedsah
15:07.27dick_turpinLeeds: yaMatt was really pissed off he didn't meet you. :-(
15:08.11Leedsdick_turpin: I genuinely was there for about 90 minutes... wandered around the expo area, bumped into agk, had a coffee with wethrin, then left
15:09.41dick_turpinClearly a very busy man
15:10.58dick_turpinMind you one good thing. If I'd have been there I'd have tapped you for a donation to the podcast bwahahahahaha
15:11.15Leedsgiven that my mum, dad, sister, and brother-in-law had come to Brussels to see me, I'm not sure they would have appreciated "I'll be there later, I'm just geeking out right now" :)
15:11.35Leedswhen someone is willing to go to *Brussels* for you, you have to show some respect :)
15:12.48dick_turpinI know a fair few who would have dragged them round the venue.
15:13.02LeedsI think they would have disowned me
15:14.14LeedsI enjoyed it, wish I could have stayed longer, but the times just didn't work
15:14.32Leedsactually, I felt I missed it, being in a full-on tech/geek environment
15:14.40dick_turpinBy the sounds of it unless you have peoples mobile number bumping into people you know is almost impossible so Matt tells me.
15:17.28Leedsyeah, I saw one estimate of somewhere between 5000 and 10000 people attending over the weekend
15:19.15dick_turpinI suspect if I ever go I'll need a whole bunch of those wrist reins they have for kids for all the people I know.
15:22.20Leedsyou have to make plans in advance... the wifi worked pretty well, apparently, so if you can find people online that is doable
16:03.12*** join/#gllug cityLights (~nivw@bzq-218-29-26.cablep.bezeqint.net)
16:04.26yaMattLeeds, it's about the only way to meet people
16:04.42yaMattI got a local SIM too which was €10 for 500mb, helped out massively
16:04.46yaMattthen I locked it out on the last day
16:17.23AndyMillarheh
16:17.50AndyMillarthat's more expensive than my SIM in china ;)
16:29.40yaMattmore expensive than SIMs you can buy here too
16:30.13yaMattbut to be honest if I used more than 250mb a day I would be doing pretty well

16:49.54Leedswe did 5 countries in 2 weeks - 6 if you count China - and in the end didn't get a single local SIM, just relied on hotel wifi, the odd free hotspot, and offline maps etc.
16:50.19yaMattyeah, it's tricker if you're travelling like that
16:56.41Leedswe did find we could get some free wifi in a lot of places, be it cafes, tourist offices, or in one case a shoe shop...
