A day of not many talks, but lots of cool stuff. Damian was his usual crazy self, and MJD's talk on building parsers was really good. Although I probably won't use those techniques at work as functional programming seems to scare people.<p>The conference dinner at a <a href=http://wikiproxy.cantrell.org.uk/Heuriger>Heuriger</a> on the outskirts of Vienna was great. The orga-punks had hired a small fleet of buses to get us there and back, and one of the sponsors laid on a great buffet. The local wine was pretty damned fine too, and then the evening de-generated into Schnapps, with toasts to Her Majesty, to her splendid navy, and to The Village People.<p>It wasn't all debauchery in the evening though - on the bus, I had a very useful chat with <a href=http://www.bruhat.net/>Philippe</a> about <a href=http://search.cpan.org/~book/Net-Proxy-0.08/>Net::Proxy</a>, and re-designing it to make it easier to create new connectors for it. 2007-08-30T11:57:06Z
