[F] Jennifer 2.0 Meet Report
Kimberley Verburg
Attendees: Don Alfonzo, Eelco Giele, Jennifer Barber, Jeroen Burger,
Jeroen Metselaar, Jos Dingjan, Leo Breebaart, Michel "Cybercat" Lanting,
Nick, Rolf Milde, TimT., Uwe Milde, me and according to someone's
scribblings on my notes "ZORRO WAS HERE!" too.
Having tasted the delights of Delft once, our American Guest of
Honou^Hr, Jennifer, came back for more. This time the venue was the
Trafalgar Pub in Eindhoven where quotes were drunk, and drinks were
quoted.
TimT. and Jennifer arrived half an hour late courtesy of the Dutch
Railways. Alas, they missed the sequel to Rotterdam 1.0's juggling
ball/IP address geekery: the suggestion to recreate Library's IP address
with real balls. Volunteers?
An hour later, Cybercat padded in so quietly that some of us didn't
notice him sitting at the end of the dinner table. He soon got Eelco's
attention by ordering a second round of dinner instead of dessert like
the rest of us. A peckish Eelco was forced to circle enviously, wishing
he'd thought of it too. He'd obviously been suffering during the Food
Ownership Training: Eelco - "So I'm stealing Kimberley's food from my
plate." He can be taught!
At the end of dinner toothpicks were whittled down to size and then
launched as Inter Table Toothpicks. Any excuse to whip out the
Leathermans.
Leaving the dinner table we tucked ourselves away in the furthest,
darkest corner of the pub, away from the mundanes. We soon had cause to
bless the Germans, Rolf and Uwe, when they started to produce all things
deliciously chocolate from their bags. Serious scientific experiments
were conducted to prove the existence of yellow 2 x 3 edible lego
bricks. They do exist. But not for very long.
With mouths full of food diverse topics came to light: musicals (the
reason for Jennifer's travels), Leo and Cybercat's underwear and
hamburgers in Moscow. Piercings were waggled at the squeamish while
TimT. and Jeroen B. waved miniature supersoakers with Serious Menace.

Of course, for the representation of binary 0/1-values it'd be much more
convenient to use, um, the bit in the middle, as it were...

Nest time I'm going to ask Jos (dammit Kim, I'm a computer geek, not a
physicist!) to draw a Feynman diagram for yellow lego bricks -- I think we
may have found a missing elementary particle here. More research is
needed...
> "Waiter, there's a hair in my edible lego." - Leo
You know it's been a great meet when you have absolutely no recollection at
all of saying something that ends up finding its way into the quote file.

and that meant leaving slightly later than I'd planned.
The dutch railways don't run between my home and the pub
yet.. (Actually they do, but it's a lateral thing...)
<snip>
I must say that the pub staff deserves a very honourable mention:
due to a slight miscommunication, they were not aware that we would
need food. They managed to set up a table for fifteen in fifteen
minutes, and prepare twelve+ meals in that very cramped kitchen of
theirs. Well done guys.

Half life of what ? fifteen minutes.

And hit the bartender full in the face. We really should introduce a
no-ducking rule during these minisoaker duels. The bartender is ok
now, though when I booked the next set of tables (for Marijke's
birthday, and the official company dinner next week), they did
enquire about the carrying of supersoakers...
Next time, the staff will be armed, I think...

nononono, I'm innocent. I was sitting next to you. And there's
Photographic Evidence on Uwe's photograph page, too.
I do still have one of the miniature supersoakers present at the meet,
though I couldn't say whether it was one of the two involved in this
shameful assault upon the poor barkeeper.

Great, that means we can have a shootout about the bar tab:
"Eindhoven 5.0: Showdown at the Trafelgar Pub"
Featuring TimT as Wyatt Earp and the entire bar staff as the Clanton
gang.
Release date: somewhere in februari (Which is the intended month for
an Eindhoven meet, stay tuned for the exact date)

And a very, very few on:

There will some they in the future be some more pictures. First need
to finish the film though.
Greetings, Eelco
