Well, SXSWi is over and we’ve all barely recovered enough to start thinking of what else to do in the few remaining days we have in Texas. I’ll talk about that in a moment, but firstly, hello! to all those visiting for the first time as a result of meeting me at the conference. I know you’re there … the percentage of Mac visitors in my webstats has jumped from 0.5% to 6%!! 😉
As for the rest of the holiday — well, firstly we’re going to get tattooed this afternoon by the wonderful Karen at SouthSide Tattoos who on my last trip to Austin designed my first original tattoo (a wolf). Tomorrow we’re probably going to go find a shooting range and teach Elly and Simon to shoot. It should be fun and there may be photos.
On Saturday we’ll embark on the long, sad trip back to the UK. It’s been such fun this year and we’ll hope to be back again in 2006. Until Sunday we’re on dialup ‘net access, so few proper updates until then, but next week I’ll aim to post my notes from the various sessions attended and some other observations about the goings on over the last few days.

[…] the back of napkins into quote collections. There will also be much sharing of pictures of geeks with guns!

Damn, that’s a scary thought: geeks with guns. This picture springs inexorably to mind.

Details, details! I can’t imagine Simon shooting a gun. The kickback’ll knock him on his butt.
I absolutely adored meeting you and Elly at SXSW. Here’s to more future adventures and great discussions!

To the tune of “Cows with Guns” by Dana Lyons
a.k.a. “The Song of Damacles”
Goin’ out huntin’,
Weapons on show,
Si with an AK,
Elly in tow,
… Geeks have fun
Elly then whispers
Into Si’s ear,
“Can I get WiFi access
out here?”
… Geeks aren’t fun
Meri then fires,
Just missing a dog,
“There’ll be cool pictures
To put in my blog”
… Run Geeks Run
We will fight for OS freedom,
And Macs throughout this land,
We will Firefox with the Debian,
Or die…..
Geeks with guns
