You see, ages back I booked myself for the @Media conference in London. And then forgot about it completely.
And it turns out it was last week – the Thursday and Friday, to be precise. Which means that last week would’ve been made infinitely more complex than it was, what with the Cambridge interview and the entire travelling to see AC/DC – but it’s still a bummer.
It’s weird too, in that I haven’t heard anything about it this year – nothing I’ve noticed on Twitter or Facebook, and none of the developers and techies I know having gone to it. Compared to a couple of years ago, when I knew loads of people who went, that just seems pretty odd.
It’s a pain to have paid for the ticket and not gone – but well, my company had paid for the ticket rather than me personally (it’s a semantic point in many ways, I know) so it could be worse.
I really wanted to go to this but couldn’t cos I already had a holiday booked. Being without Tinternet for a week in rural France, I’m not sure how well covered it was on Twitter, but I’ve seen lots of talk about it so far this week. From what I gather it was an excellent event. Which is probably not what you wanted to hear…
