  1. I saw them yesterday... by kneeslasher · · Score: 3, Informative

    Google visited Oxford yesterday and I went along to the event. It was OK. Instead of asking a question on the theme of "How do I get in?", one silly chap asked about how Google squared their "Do no evil." policy with China. Which led to a wasted ten minute PR exercise of why and how Google was operating in China. Apart from that, it was OK and I have a purple Google pen to show for it. There was a raffle in which I won nothing. The top prize being an iPod.

  2. Vint Cert Speaking Monday Evening by jonv · · Score: 3, Informative

    Went to see Vint Cert at this event on monday: http://www.feis.herts.ac.uk/cs40/public/index.htm
    Interesting event - nothing that I hadn't heard in interview or read on the web but fun to see live.
    If a new he was recruiting I would have taken my CV along!
