qole,

Berlin was amazing in so many ways.

I loved hearing the languages and differences in people and watching and listening to Jamies' videos brought back lots of it ( http://linuxuk.org/ )

I have walked away from there with my head up high and I smile every single time I think of it.
The only thing I was unhappy with was not remembering peoples names and faces, its the primary reason why I needed the png writing
I won't be caught short next time.

also, not all the ladies were nokia employees - there were a few freelancers and a load of c-base bods, but point taken.
