Friday, 6 Mar - Tim - On To Trafalgar!


Thursday was an all-work day, so not much to report in travel blog form. I went to some good talks on Docker and Go (for you programming geeks) and I gave a talk in the afternoon with Ruud Wijnands on recovering the principles *behind* agile. Then we had a dinner for all the speakers, and that was quite a noisy evening. I'm still recovering my hearing.

But Friday is a little different.

I had a filmed interview with InfoQ in the morning, chatted with the good folks at DynaTrace and then headed out with Libby to get some sightseeing in before we have to leave the good old city.

                                 Silhouetted against the sky, the Fourth Plinth has a new statue (as it usually does).
                        This is called the "Gift Horse"
                        the ribbon is a stock ticker.
