Hey there MattyT!

I just had lunch with MattyT. Matty was probably one of the first ever subscribers to my blog - first to admit it anyway :) For a C++ person, he's a pretty nice guy. He certainly dresses a lot neater than a lot of C++ guys I could name. He obviously showers too, which was also unexpected :P

All this time, we've never had a chance to actually meet in person. Well, now that's changed. Nice to meet you dude, and we must do it again before my stint here in Melbourne is done. Oh, and next time it's my shout!

Now that I've properly put a face to the name, it's got me thinking who else is out there that I know, but that I don't actually know, if you get what I mean. I need to do something about it.

Maybe with all the travel that comes of being a Readify guy, I might be able to catch up with a lot of people like this. Cool. :)

Heya Geoff, nice to meet you too mate - we ought to do it again while you're still in Melbourne.  And if you're up for any late-night side-project coding let me know, I could be up for it.

Hey, how do you know I shower?  It's amazing what Lynx can do...  ;)

As for the clothes, well, I'm trying to be a bit more presentable in my new role.  Also has the side effect of making my girlfriend happier.  It's all a sham really though, I'm still a jeans & t-shirt guy at heart.  ;)

Another thing we could do is to organise a larger geek dinner - we haven't had one in Melbourne for awhile.  Whaddya think?

Jeans and tshirt? Hah! Working from home is great man, dressing gown and slippers all day!

A geek dinner? That's a fantastic idea - I wish I'd thought of it :)  I'll put out some feelers tonight to try and get an idea on how many would come, then we'll work out where/when from there :)
