Fourth Cambridge gathering
by Edward Welbourne Dec. 13, 1999

Dec. 13, 1999

So last night three Cambridge pythoneers gathered for a pint or N and talked about assorted things for a few hours. Among other things, we came up with a venue for next meeting: CB2. Our excuse is that it's getting near Christmas. Date: to be decided from amongst Tuesday 7th, Thursday 9th or Tuesday 14th of December 1999. Those who might make any or all of the above, please speak out and indicate which dates you could make (among these, preferences might be honoured if stated). Directions to CB2 follow (it's a restaurant, closely allied to CB1, which is a cyber-cafe). I'll send out a message on Friday 3rd saying which date is chosen, and I won't take into account in making that decision any information received after that date. We also now know that each day of the week has at least someone who'd be interested in coming but can't make that day of the week. Which is a pretty impressive crowding of schedules when only five folk have been taken into the survey and two of us are unconstrained. This probably means we'll be more adventurous about dates of future meetings, but that can wait until the new year. I rashly babbled about re-inventing class structure from currying: http://www.chaos.org.uk/~eddy/dev/toy/python.html and adjuncts, notably python.py and class.py (which has a __call__ attribute ...). Both Michael and Paul mentioned things for which I want to see URLs ... but my forgettory has gotten hold of the subjects. Eddy. -- To reach CB2 from The Boat Race (pub, next to Blockbuster video by the lights on East Road) is easy: cross East Road at the lights and keep going away from the City (along a road whose name I suspect of being Norfolk Street, but I vague) watching the premises on your right for a sign saying CB2. If you've gone more than a hundred yards from The Boat Race, you've over-shot. So now all I have to do is explain how to find The Boat Race. Coming from Town: head for the Grafton Centre but go down the wide boulevard that you'll find on its right - Burleigh Street, at the far end of which you'll find The Boat Race, lights and, as above, CB2. >From the North (e.g. Chesterton) follow Elizabeth Way across the bridge, keep `straight on' at the roaring roundabout where it crosses Newmarket Road and becomes East Road; at each set of traffic lights, check for a pub on your right called The Boat Race - the relevant lights are at a narrow part of the road. If you reach Fire Station, Parker's piece or the Roman Catholic church you've overshot. >From any other direction: infer from the above. If you don't know how to find East Road, ask me privately ! Parking (for the petrochemically inclined): the Grafton Centre and its great big Cinema complex have multi-story car parks accessible from East Road and from Maid's Causeway (what Newmarket Road and Jesus Lane are called in between being one another). From either of these, it's an easy matter to reach East Road and follow directions as above from North.

I can't make this weekend - off visiting relatives - but am on for something the week starting 6th December if anyone else is. Maybe we should try to get a teensy bit more formal in December that would tempt everyone to get together - does anyone's company have a meeting room after work we could use to give short talks in (anywhere at all)? I'm still working on my City contacts for this, but it is a low priority for them and nothing firm has happened yet.

Adrian, Sorry, we must of missed you. I turned up at about 8:15 for a couple of beers. We moved on when the music got too loud. You couldn't miss us we were the three older guys with the plastic snake. As Andy suggests perhaps we ought to make the next meeting a little more formal. Regards Michael.

Perhaps I should be more specific: Do most the people who are near enough to London to attend a meet there actually live in London, or some county near to London. e.g. If everyone concerned actually lives in Surrey, then it would be easier for everyone to meet there instead of London. -------------------------------------------- Adrian Eyre <mailto:a.eyre@optichrome.com> Optichrome Computer Solutions Ltd Maybury Road, Woking, Surrey, GU21 5HX, UK Tel: +44 1483 740 233 Fax: +44 1483 760 644 http://www.optichrome.com --------------------------------------------
