| 08:27.59 | Leeds | sure |
| 08:28.10 | j0nr | how come?? |
| 08:28.20 | Leeds | and I mean free, not "free when you sign up for a 5 year 50 quid a month contract" |
| 08:28.31 | Leeds | Google take care of their friends :) |
| 08:28.58 | Leeds | they gave away thousands of N1s to Android developers (new and established) around the world last month |
| 08:29.57 | j0nr | oh nice... |
| 08:30.05 | j0nr | you are a developer then? |
| 08:30.12 | j0nr | officially working for them? |
| 08:30.17 | Leeds | they had a bunch of free developer events around the world last month - the first one was actually in London, the last in Hong Kong - and gave everyone who registered an N1 |
| 08:30.37 | Leeds | also gave one to anyone with a 'successful' app in the market - 5k+ downloads and 3.5*+ rating |
| 08:30.40 | Leeds | just a dev |
| 08:30.55 | Leeds | well, and an op in a couple of the Android IRC channels ;) |
| 08:39.48 | ChoHag | Ooh. Status. |
| 08:40.38 | Leeds | bow before me |
| 08:41.22 | boudiccas | woof woof woof |
| 08:41.51 | boudiccas | [well i thought it was funny at least :] |
| 08:42.32 | Leeds | very slightly :P |
| 08:43.04 | Leeds | for what it's worth, I've got two apps in the market with over 5k downloads, but neither of them are good enough to reach 3.5 stars rating... |
| 08:43.54 | Leeds | actually, one is good enough, but it wasn't, and the old low ratings dragged it down |
| 08:53.19 | mindbndr | good morning |
| 08:53.53 | ChoHag | Re-release it under a new name. |
| 08:54.27 | j0nr | good for you Leeds |
| 08:54.32 | Leeds | slightly tempted to do that - will wait a bit though, got at least one more significant update to push out first |
| 08:54.33 | j0nr | a deserved freebie |
| 08:54.58 | Leeds | it's a weather app, and the interesting time of year for weather in HK is summer, what with typhoons and tropical thunder/rainstorms |

| 15:44.37 | ChoHag | Should I pay an extra £10 and arrive 2 hours later at 1900 just to travel first class? |
| 15:45.18 | PcSett | I should sit and watch and learn, I know - but I'm so pleased to have got back onto a screen I can see when typing! Pidgin is nice ... :-D |
| 15:47.27 | wethrin | ChoHag: Yes |
| 15:47.35 | wethrin | Unless you need to be there 2 hours earlier |
| 15:47.51 | PcSett | Are any GLLUG meetings held dahn sarf - even in the Abbey Wood area? |
| 15:48.11 | ChoHag | No. It's a holiday. I can be there when I like. |
| 15:48.40 | wethrin | which rail operator? |
| 15:48.46 | ChoHag | FGW |
| 15:48.54 | wethrin | oh. |
| 15:48.58 | wethrin | not sure what their 1st class is like |
| 15:49.05 | wethrin | but the answer is still 'probably' |
| 15:49.11 | wethrin | unless you're holidaying to Reading |
| 15:49.23 | ChoHag | No, but the train goes through there. |
| 15:49.32 | ChoHag | Who the fuck would holiday, or indeed anything, in Reading? |
| 15:49.44 | wethrin | Reading FEstival? |
| 15:50.25 | ChoHag | Indeed. |
| 15:50.31 | PcSett | Reading born, Reading bred, strong in the arm, thick in the head. I learned in Reading ... |
| 15:50.55 | wethrin | So, anyway. £10 is worth it if it's more than a 2 hour journey |
| 15:50.59 | wethrin | you won't be stuck with chavs |
| 15:51.11 | ChoHag | A very good point. |
| 15:51.53 | dick_turpin | I went to a disco called Wednesday's in reading many moons ago |
| 15:51.55 | ChoHag | "And then, I discovered the alternative service of South West Trains." |
| 15:52.04 | ChoHag | If SWT > FGW then they must be pretty bad. |
| 15:53.00 | PcSett | Where was Wednesday's - in Minster Street? |
| 15:54.22 | wethrin | Gllug meetings are always in New Cavendish Street building of Westminster University. They have been for nearly 10 years now |
| 15:54.37 | dick_turpin | Dunno we are talking 30+ years ago |
| 15:55.17 | dick_turpin | No we're not? 25+ |
| 15:55.24 | PcSett | Yeah - I was talking forty-ish! |
| 15:55.48 | wethrin | you're all old! |
| 15:56.40 | Armand | ¬_¬ |
| 15:56.44 | PcSett | There has to be a smart answer to that, but I need my afternoon nap! |
| 15:57.32 | dick_turpin | I used to live near High Wycombe there was a Disco called Tuesday's I went there every weekend, my mate and I heard there was a chain of them named obviously after days of the week the nearest was Reading I think that's why we went |
| 15:58.25 | PcSett | Yeah - in my time it was The Thingummyjig. |
| 15:58.35 | wethrin | High Wycombe's a dump! |
| 15:58.51 | PcSett | Oooh, just like Reading! |
| 15:59.02 | dick_turpin | I would say it was around 1980 as I had my serious car crash in 1981 |
| 16:00.15 | PcSett | Yeah - I got married for the third time in 1980 - things have settled a bit now ... |
| 16:01.17 | dick_turpin | Ooh I wasn't even on my first marriage then dick_turpin feels really young now :-) |
| 16:01.46 | PcSett | OK - wanna count mistresses? |
