Guest Firaas Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 Sounds great to me but a lot of the adaptations and developments are over my head - will this be fully accessible (intelligible) even to us mere beginners who have bought the SPV for its pretty colours and sounds... Yeah, from what I've been told, it's a friendly meetup and not a geek conference. They'll have guest speakers, but they'll be newbie friendly too I'm guessing :)
Guest Richie M Posted March 18, 2003 Report Posted March 18, 2003 Unless Pteale turns up :twisted: Thats a joke by the way :)
Guest pete1312 Posted March 18, 2003 Report Posted March 18, 2003 Unless Pteale turns up :twisted: Or his "guest": p.t.e.a.l.e. :!:
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted March 18, 2003 Report Posted March 18, 2003 Or his brother pteale2nd ( yes he had that one as well ) :roll:
Guest madu Posted March 18, 2003 Report Posted March 18, 2003 Damn those global announcements!!! My eye has trained to ignore them now :) Well, SOHO - brilliant!! Bring it on!! Yep, wouldn't mind a few beers with you lads. PS: Can we have the 'global announcement:' line removed from GA's, since they have 'i' icons anyway.. Or just a short way of saying "Global announcement:"??
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 First post in this topic updated, click the link in my sig! :) P
Guest Firaas Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 Post updated, for those with the topic being email "watched". So... 12th April at Soho! For anyone looking at staying the night, TravelInns down there cost around £80 (I know!). I'm intending to stay at Le Meridien on Park Lane for £117.50 which I reckon is a bargain - you can book on their site.
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 I'm hoping MS can negotiate a killer rate with a nearby hotel :) P
Guest Vector Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 Are 14 year olds allowed to go :roll:
Guest Firaas Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 Are 14 year olds allowed to go :roll: Yep - there's no age limit!
Guest Vector Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 NNNNOOOO, i'm not here, i'm going to the states :cry:
Guest Lizard_King Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 Nicely done, Paul. I'm well up for it. Really looking forward to it cos I love MS events (i'm a masochist like that :oops: ) I'm so glad I checked this global, I must admit I do tend to brush over them now. Won't happen again :) Look forward to seeing you all there, as long as there is a 'there' by then :cry:
Guest ClintEastman Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 CRAP, im in Manchester that weekend! :cry: Ah well, I am going to a Massive Attack gig, then meeting up with two beautiful Irish girls, could be worse (im sure that there will be no girls at the meet). Well have fun kids, maybe next time! :wink:
Guest ajb3000 Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 wow, this is gonna rock, can't wait!! Best thing is I have friends in London so I can stay at theirs. Any idea what time it's expected to finish? Oh, and whens it gonna start?
Guest Deemon Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 DAMMIT...its my 10th wedding anniversary that day.... :-( enjoy the day everyone !
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 Deemon take the wife to London that day to celibrate :)
Guest Will Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 this sounds fun! I guess i better turn up! Will
Guest flashfodder Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Not been here long and I'm not in quite the same league on all this App creation. Normally work on AS400's but dabble in a little Photography! Check out http://www.Charliearry.com if you like to see bands. I took all the photo's plus some video footage too! User I may be but Im building a fantastic Divx Film & TV Archive!!! I'll have to see if my bro wants to come as well as he got me into the SPV in the first place! I'm now telling him what it can do! Peeps in previous strings were worried cause it's on a friday but I checked the date & 12th April is definitely Saturday? :D Has the venue been confirmed yet? :) I'll have to stay away from the Orange folk cause I bought mine from Orange Sales! ;)
Guest Firaas Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Peeps in previous strings were worried cause it's on a friday but I checked the date & 12th April is definitely Saturday? ;) Has the venue been confirmed yet? :) The 12th of April was added today - it was any Friday at first, then any Saturday, and then the 12th of April. Yep the location's a Microsoft venue in SoHo, and has been confirmed for the 12th of April!
Guest Gorskar Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Post updated, for those with the topic being email "watched". So... 12th April at Soho!

I'm intending to stay at Le Meridien on Park Lane for £117.50 which I reckon is a bargain - you can book on their site. Thats a bit pricy for a weekend for a humble student such as I. Do you know how much youth hostels are around there? Not really sure whether I can afford the time to take a weekend down in London at this time of year (finals looming :? :? )
Guest Will Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 from memory its about 26quid to get a coach from Manchester to london, returning 12:30 at night.. No need for a hotel as long as they let you on the coach.. Also i'm sure there are late night trains.. Will
Guest rchiileea Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Urrm the Orange guys that will be there what could they help me with me/bills cut buy a 3rd since i put my Vodafone chip in my SVP Rofl
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 NEW UPDATE: Please register by mailing [email protected]. We really just need an idea of numbers! The entry requirement is you MUST have a Smartphone...and yes, a Microsoft powered Smartphone :) We will kick off at around 2pm, and finish at 5pm to allow people time to get in and out of London. Catering will be pizza/beer style ;) P
Guest madu Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Very impressive indeed!! My plan of action as topic update spotted: 1. Take my SmartPhone. 2. Click-click Calendar 3. Click-click 12th April 4. Click-click New Appointment... 5. Click-click whereabouts in Soho is the Microsoft place?? :)
