More on 27 Dinner
A bit more on 27 Dinner after that comment on Johann's Blog by Quirk's Hungover Sarah Manners, who thinks some comments are utter "vommit":
So us geek's are highjacking our geek dinners back!
I still believe that Dave and Mike from Cerebra should not have highjacked the geek dinners in the first place, and try and turn it into a big marketing platform, but that is a moot point. Yes I agree that there was way too many speakers. Remember that less is more! Or so I keep getting told.
FYI Jacques (I think u may have been asleep or in some kind or geek trance) - no one from Quirk spoke, Mike from Cerebra was damn funny and many people found Angus exceptionally interesting. Dude - your word vomit offends my eyes. Here’s a real easy solution - don’t go next time. Oh and to the team who put last night together - YOU ROCK.
I'm going to avoid turning this into a mud slinging match with Quirk. Towards the end of the evening I was sitting at the back at the real geeks table with Ian, Jaco, Neil, and various other geeks and boy was it boring. And I strongly dislike being bored. Fascinating listening to how the bandwidth situation differs between South Africa and the UK, I don't think we can compare.
And can someone please explain what is up with trying to call 'geeks' 'jeeks' all of a sudden? It definitely does not sound like geeks.
According to the dictionary geek is short for 'computer geek'.
