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 missed last years because we were travelling to Ireland on the Friday of the conference, so it wasn’t worth it.
This year it’s a bit later, on the 25/26th June at the South Bank Centre, which should be fun. I’ve never been there for conferences etc. before, so it’s another new place on the list.
Early-bird tickets (Two days for £299 plus VAT) went on sale last night, and I’m already booked in for it.
Happy, happy day.
