I'm happy to belatedly report that it was a very enjoyable evening.  In
the end I dragged three people along and we all had a good time.  I met
Nik, but no one else who claimed to know anything about zurich.pm.

There were some interesting presentations and I also gave a lightning
talk.  Nik, I promised to mail you a link to the slides, and rather
belatedly they are up at http://www.pjcj.net/presentations/ - feel free
to link to them.  The slides from my presentations at the Nordic Perl
Workshop are also up there.  That was also an excellent event.

On a similar topic, I booked my flights and hotel to YAPC::Europe in
Copenhagen today.  Is anyone else going?

And finally, although it's too late to mean anything, I've managed to
get tickets to see the Portugal game tomorrow.  Here's hoping for a good
game and some points to go with the good performances.  Hopp Schwiiz!
