So I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey (again) last week. Stately, yes. Bananas, yes. Visually inspiring, also yes.

It's scary getting up on stage. Especially when some guy in a sparkly jacket is throwing crazy ruby at you. Being able to give some prizes at the end is the least I can do. Big thanks to our prize sponsors:

If I put together a 2/3day Rails-oriented, indie business/small team technical leader MICRO-conference for early/mid-Jan in the UK countryside… would that sound interesting?
Everyone brings one strong opinion and one problem and we take it in turns to help each other out.

Moved house. After three brutal days of boxes it’s a new (birthday) walk to work along the seafront. Brighton is an excellent (albeit windy) city, I encourage all my friends to move here.

Some quick reflections on #RailsWorld from the Rails Foundation.
In short. I had a nice time. And I made some nineties-era web buttons on the way home.
