Trying out commuting for today and tomorrow. Although it's about as easy a commute as available from Redhill - just a single train up to Blackfriars. :-)
The commuting is in honour of LTVConf.
As always, I found it difficult approaching people at the networking breakfast before things got started. The pastries were great though.
I last attended LTVConf two years …
Far, far too much time spent reading emails and articles that span off from that, covering topics from property training scams through to compromised python libraries.
