WikiWednesday with Sue Gardner and Jimbo Wales.

loopzilla posted this to wikimediauk-l, and it just so happens that WMF executive director Sue Gardner is in town that day too. I tried to arrange a meet before I realised the other event was on, and two events is silly, so let's just have one, eh?

Jimmy Wales has been invited to speak at this month's event. London wikiwed 5 December 2007

The event will be hosted by NYK Shipping (thanks to Alek Lotoczko) and SocialText will be footing the bill for - pizzas, beer and wine (thanks to Ross Mayfield and Ross Hargreaves). The address is NYK Line, 17th Floor, CityPoint, 1 Ropemaker Street, London EC2Y 9NY. Nearest Tube is Moorgate.

We aim for people to arrive around 18:15 for a 19:00 formal start.

Please make sure you book your name below so a name badge can be prepared, and if you have any difficulties on the night you can call David Terrar on 07715 159423.

And I am suggesting the same pub afterwards as last time we met at NYK Line: The Globe, 83 Moorgate, London, EC2M 6SA.

Don't forget to call ahead!

Worthless objects.

Bored, annoyed, at work. You?

On the brains of sound.

A baby is the best geek toy ever: a small intelligence that you can watch growing and learning and interact with. Utterly fascinating. The core dumps are messy, of course.

Freda loooves the cats, and you can guess what cats think of babies. They're not keen on having their ears grabbed and pulled on. However, Freda has worked out that when she's having her morning biscuit, she can hold out a bit to Kynaston and he'll come to her. Clever pickle!

She's not crawling yet, but she's worked out she can get where she wants to by rolling around. Also inordinately fond of power cords and Ethernet cables.
