Thanks particularly to Michael Smit and Peter Karman for their talks, and many, many apologies to Karl Narveson for us running out of time. Thanks also to Ehren Seim and TechPro for providing the venue and the pizza and drinks. I'm aiming to have the next technical meeting in two months' time, on 14 March, which leaves us set for a social meeting on 14 February. I don't know how many of you care about St. Valentine or his Day, but I know I'd be in trouble if I spent it fraternising with you lot rather than with my good lady wife. Not that I tend to be a social meetings anyway. I do so hate driving in the Cities. So, I've updated the wiki with details of the next technical meeting: We have Karl's talk, plus Dave will be talking about some Design Patterns. There's space for more, of course, so do please volunteer. If you'd like to talk but don't know what to talk about, I've created a "Future Talks" page that has some suggestions: If there's something you'd like to hear about, please add it to the list.
