If you are looking at DreamSpark then Kodu is a must. It might even be worth chatting with the folk at Computing for Schools to see if someone can help out.

You need to cast that magic spell that allows you to be in 2 places at once

 

My stomach was doing that 2 nights ago

[Soulfish]

Looking forward to this next week. Can't stay either night unfortunately (too busy due to having just handed in my notice!) but if people are going for a meal/drink afterwards I'd be interested in hanging around for a bit longer

I can!!!

[teejay]

Yep, I'm staying over both nights, so I can attend both 'networking' meetings

Just need to know time and place and I'll be there...

Half the fun is finding us

So, I'm looking for a group with a male/female ratio of 20:1 having an argument about which custom rom is best for their chosen smartphone....

You would be surprised... we aren't as 'geeky' as you might expect. You'll have more luck finding us by seeking out the best bar

[elsiegee40]

It might be an idea to give us a clue where you'll be hanging out as we'll all be turning up at different times!

[john]

I'm staying down, arrive on the Wednesday late evening and leaving mid-day Friday so will be around and about on the Wednesday and Thursday night.

[Dos_Box]

Yay! I've just found a Chinese restraunt down the road from the hotel

Anything has to be better that the awful chain burger/faux American joints near the canal we ate at last time!

[Dos_Box]

Oh, and geeky t-shirts are compulsary for evening wear!
