Joel on Software meetup in Edinburgh

Inadvertently, I referred to the UK as "England."

In my defense, I really did think that I was analyzing data on customers in England specifically. Later I realized that our order form dropdown only has a listing for the United Kingdom.

By way of apologies, if you're in Edinburgh when I pass through there on May 19th, let me buy you a pint. Sign up below (hit the Edit button up in the corner) if you can make it.

-- Joel Spolsky

Time: Saturday, 19 May 2007, 6:00 PM

Location: St. Giles Room, Radisson SAS hotel (map)

Aftermath:

[Fraser] Ta for the pint (and the snacks :))! All forgiven now :) Sorry I didn't get a chance to speak to you in person, had to run off to look after the wean.
[Yoda] I enjoyed it, though the second pint's cost hit me hard. :) It was great getting to speak to you.
[Martin the Documentation Doctor] Great evening. Amazing how many people were there because of the blog and the books, rather than the forums. Hope you do update your UI book.
[Clarke Ching  26 May] Oops... It was last weekend.  Oh well.  Thanks anyway.  Sorry I missed.
