To avoid the somewhat annoying (and hopefully temporary) problem that not everyone in the world reads my blog, I’ve created a new home for our search social meet-ups over on Meetup.com.

It’s been a little while since the last Open Source Search Social, so we’re getting really imaginative and holding another one, this time on Wednesday the 18th of November. As usual the event is in the Pelican pub just off London’s face-bleedingly trendy Portobello Road.
The format is staying roughly the same. No agenda, no attitude, just some geeks talking about search and related topics in the presence of intoxicating substances.
Please come along if you can, just get in touch or sign up on the Upcoming page.

So I’ve started my first open source project. Aiming small I’ve chosen to implement a language identification tool on Appspot. It’s named Iggins, after ‘Enry ‘Iggins from Pygmalion.
Lets see if I can make the time to get it running.
