Went to Java Meetup last night. This is a monthly (i think!) event for Java techies. Basically we sat in the pub (Smiths of Smithfield in case you are interested!) and chatted about technology and drunk beer! Also got a chance to see Jez's 100% Java version of Elite!
There was a pretty good turn out all in all (7 or 8 in total). I will definitely be going along next time (perhaps we will get double figures!)
