London Geek Dinner Précis

I very much enjoyed last night. Hugh MacLoed was a wonderful host.

190 Poindexters filled the Texas Embassy in the end.

Loads of other fellow attending Geeks have written great reviews, recorded podcasts, taken pictures and even a video which you can all be found.

On a personal note I would just like to say a special Thank you to everyone I met last night.

On a lighter note, it was a right laugh! Ian has been rubbishing my good name all day on Channel 9

Fore-shame on all those who didn’t know what Channel 9 was! Call yourself Geeks!

Disturbingly, is ‘Evil Personified’; he murdered his Channel 9 Guy in front of me, I did scream! Twisted man! I am using the remains as a voodoo doll Durdle!

Ian Smith and the will become the stuff of legend!

It was great to meet Robert. Please check-out his speech and Q&A, some answers were very enlightening.

He did get around to seeing as many of us as he possibly could with so many there this was no mean feat. I have heard some complaints, all I can say to those people is that you have to be realistic, the place was rammed, so enough of the complaining!

Robert stuck me as a one of those really nice bloke who could easily pass as a cool neighbour type that you chat about Football over the back-fence … except the difference being Robert has a passion that is the size of a super-nova … and is equally nuclear fuelled … and it’s going off!

  • Your Customers Build the Features Now

    I let a tool I liked sit dead for a year rather than build the features I wanted. An MCP server meant I never had to, and your customers can do the same to your product.

  • Get the Size of a Directory in Linux the Easy Way

    du -sh for the quick answer, ncdu for the cleanup, df for the disk itself: every command for checking directory size in Linux, plus why du and df never agree.

  • Vim Search and Replace: The Ultimate Guide

    One :%s command replaces every match in a file before a find dialog would even open. The Vim substitute patterns worth the muscle memory: flags, ranges, capture groups, and multi-file edits.
