@media - in (very) brief
.
I rather luckily got a place at the @media conference in cloudy London yesterday, and had a fantastic time learning more web design from some supremely talented and entertaining speakers.
I will do a full write up, but I need to finish a university assignment first. This post serves as a place to stick comments if I met you and you think you knew me from somewhere (Jeremy Keith, where do you know my name from? It’s slightly terrifying).
Anyway, to keep a couple of “yes, of course I’ll blog that” promises before I have time to do something more thorough: Jeremy and Andy Clarke‘s presentations were the two which got through to me the most. The former for ’I kinda knew I could do that but never saw how’ JavaScript enlightenment, and the latter for his presentation that I’ve renamed: ‘A slap in face for everyone who needs to get a grip on the balance between standards-adherence and great design’. Andy’s original title was better, mind.
Also, a huge thank you to Jon Hicks for living up to his friendly reputation and introducing me to all these great people.

That wasn’t you I was arguing about chavs and racism with in the pub, was it?
Forget to mention someone, did we Mr. Ward?
Good talking to you at the wind-down on Friday evening, thanks for the introduction to Jon Hicks!
See you at @media2006 – start saving those pennies.
@ Matthew: Nope, not me arguing about Chavs and racism I’m afraid. I think I spent most of my time there with Jon and Emmma and then headed off at about 7. Innocent!
You know, I’m pretty sure I have been here before. I must have followed a link from a comment you made somewhere.
Anyway, it was great to meet you even though it was far too brief.
