Quick reminder that London HN meetup is tonight at The Water Poet in Shoreditch from 18:00. Please RSVP at http://www.meetup.com/HNLondon/calendar/14032390/ . If you are unable to make it this time, we've scheduled the next one for 26th August.

On the same night as Google's London Open Source Jam? :( http://osjam.appspot.com/

My thoughts exactly -- forward planning fail

Also on the same night as the Cyanide and Happiness london meetup which probably attracts a fair amount of the HN audience.

i am going to try and attempt to reach both.

So, did you make it? :) I only made it to OSJAM which was great.

Same night as pub standards, too. http://www.pubstandards.co.uk

Would love to come down from Cambridge but can't make today or August. Damn.

Perhaps we need a Cambridge HN meetup at some point.

The idea has crossed my mind. Email me please and we'll figure it out.

EDIT: Please see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1517597 . I set up a Google Group to get us going!

That would be great.

See you there gentlemen.

I have a Tornado (Facebook's realtime web framework) app I'm working on I'd to show off.

I'm the loud Australian guy.

Unfortunately can't make it tonight - E.Sussex to Water Poet = 2 hours and I stop working around 6...Maybe one day!

Has anyone been to the MiniBar meetups? Great hacker/startup crowd there as well, I used to go all the time when I was living in London.

How did I almost miss this?

Right... signed up, should be there for 6pm, but may have to leave early-ish as now I've gone and double-booked myself.

If I caught a flight now, I would.. still be late. Dammit.

All of my friends want to move to SF and I want to move to London.

why do you want to live in London?

Visited last year and loved the city. Have many good friends spread out across the UK as well, considering a year or two spent roaming the UK and calling London home for awhile.

Weird, I live in London and really don't see the fuss. San Francisco looks much more enjoyable.

Something to do with grass being greener over there?

The grass is greener here but only because of the bloody rain.

It's largely to do with the fact that there seems to be such amazingly varied environments within a days travel of San Francisco, not to mention lots of exciting activities that come from such a massive bay area and coastline.

I'm sure London and by extension the rest of England are nice to visit, but I want proper mountains and national parks, not the wussy ones we have here. I want proper beaches, and I want to be able to take advantage of my very strong English accent :)

I'm a New Zealander working in London and there are far more opportunities here than elsewhere in the world (bar the US). I've managed to find funding here for my startup, something that I sincerely doubt I would have found south of the equator.

So the UK is a great opportunity for commonwealth countries that can't get visas for the US.

I will also be attending the london VJ meet tonight but am looking forward to meeting you for a few hours.

to anyone who's phone I tried to run www.tweetplugs.com on and said it didn't work - apologies. There was a breaking change in the new google caja lib which bust it. Its back working so if you want to play noughts and crosses on twitter, go for it!

May be there. Probably not as successful or techy as some of you but oh well! :P

Might pop along to the next one - I'm moving down to London in a few weeks time

Heading to a gig for 7:30 so can't stay long - but looking forward to it!

So folks - tell us about what you're making! Or bring a laptop!

Ok this time for real, see you there.

See everyone there! =)

great meetup, in the future maybe not use meetup though...

I'll be there!

see you there.
