Simon did say he was feeling rough, so he might be grateful for being 
able to take a rain check.

I think his birfday celebrations are having an adverse effect on him.

...or, after following the conversations on irc, how about you give a 5-10 
minute talk on how *not* to join a startup at the same time they go bust 
and / or the current state of h2g2, or something like that, Neil?  ;-)

Didn't they appear at the Albert Hall with a orchestra in 1970?  Their
early exposure to classical music didn't impro^H^H^H^H^H change their
direction much.

BTW if anyone has the "On the Wings of a Russian Foxbat" 1977 bootleg
on MP3 with the better guitarist than their usual one can they email
it since Messrs Napster and Gnutella have failed me on this one?

I could give a talk on either Flash stuff (again, although there's not
much else to say ATM that people don't already know) or something on IP
