Matt Jadud in Vancouver
Tuesday, May 22, 2007
Matt Jadud arrived yesterday for a short visit
to Vancouver. I know him only through his
blog and emails that we've exchanged, so it was nice to finally
meet him in person. I gave Matt a quick tour around the city (weather
wasn't cooperating, so the panoramic views that I had hoped to show
him ended up being just views of the inside of clouds!). We then had a
nice chat over a Malaysian restaurant dinner about a variety of topics
(including
Greenfoot, the
transterpreter,
occam-pi, concurrency,
Erlang, academic life, and "other
stuff").
Since we hadn't been able to get together when I was
in the UK, it was nice to finally meet
up. Unfortunately, his schedule didn't have any more spare time; otherwise,
I would have scheduled a quick
lispvan get-together (speaking of which, it's been a while since
we've had our last lispvan meeting [I've been travelling a lot
in the past few months], so I'll have to get something organized
soon).
Note for all Lispers who might be coming to Vancouver at some
stage in the future:
There are 3 main things that people come to Vancouver for:
- The outdoor attractions.
- The standard tourist attractions.
- lispvan ;-)
