Next week I'm taking the plunge and attending a LUG (Linux User Group) meeting for the first time when I attend the Bradford LUG meeting on Wednesday as a speaker. I'll be giving my talk "Working With Web Services" which I'll give at PHP Barcelona a mere 36 hours later (Wednesday is the dry-run, let's hope it goes well!). I'm excited about this topic and looking forward to meeting a new group of geeks - if you are in the area then I hope you'll pop in and join us.

Gabriel: Yes I’m enjoying mine but I gave up with dailyshoot – it was too technical in places and the posting times really didn’t work with my schedule so I bailed. Still intending to take lots of photos though!
Rowan: Thanks for the comment, I’m glad the talk and this post were useful. I totally agree on the horrible services front, personally I am hoping that as the field becomes more established, the standards become more accepted.
Cesare: Thanks for your kind words, I’ve heard good things about phpday although I haven’t been there myself; sounds like another great event with another horrible hashtag! What’s wrong with #phpday or #phpday10?
