I was there!
What a great day, it was brilliant to meet so many famous faces of the Excel world, I really enjoyed myself.
My talk on Excel DNA went Ok, apart from one small technical issue, which we managed to gloss over I think! (pack:= “True”, say no more!).
All the talks were good, and I learnt a lot of new stuff, Charles’ series of discussions on developing a commercial addin were a real eye opener, it’s great that we can share this insight. Simon on RTD functions was made all the better for the presences of two chaps from Bloomingdales Bloomberg (they really knew their stuff!). And Rogers talk on slicers and filters was insightful.
The venue was cool, not too big, not too small, tea and coffee on tap, I’d like to thank (Dr) Mike (Staunton), for provision of biscuits, well done Mike, and the irrepressible Bob Phillips for his words of wisdom!
We are aiming to do something similar next year, so start working on your boss now! And next year, I’ll organise the T-shirts!!!
I was there too, at least for the second half. Of course that meant that I missed your Excel DNA presentation, which was a blow, but I did well to get there at all.
High points?
- meeting you at last;
- seeing the ever present Dr Mike again;
- sharing a beer with Colin (Legg) (again)
- sharing another beer with Andy (Pope) (yet again)
- realising that the bloke I was speaking to afterwards was Stephen Allen, who I have met virtually on ListServe,
- and meeting Bill (Benson), who travelled so far, and who is far too self-effacing.
And who would have thought that Boombergs had some smarties?
But best of all was the curry afterwards. The restaurant was good, the food was good, the company was good, and I didn’t have to travel back to Poole afterwards. Shame you missed that Ross.
Good event.
Good curry, shame, did have to get back though!
Yep it was a great day, really nice to finally meet you too Bob.
Bill definitely gets the effort award!
Thanks Bob
Ross
