Away at a conference the last couple of days. City I've never been to before and expected to be a bit dingy and industrial. Turns out it's really lovely. Great city center, friendly people and possibly the highlight of the conference was the hour walk I took round on the first night after arrived.

For 'electronic information group' of our professional body it was a bit disappointing that there was no wireless access. (Just two computers in a lounge you could fight for time on!) So no live Twittering or anything for me. Although I did sit behind a well known blogger and enjoyed watching her blog live from a couple of sessions.

I'm trying to think of what I 'got' from the conference but I fear that it was one of those when I probably contributed more in workshops and the like talking about some of the work and projects I've been involved in the last couple of years.

Feeling a bit guilty I cut my stay short to make it back for our Head's leaving do in the Atrium of the Library. Quite a crowd there. Glad I came back though - mostly for the sense of closure for myself rather than any suspicion he'd have missed me had I not been there!
