Looking Good Jul 22, 2008

Hi everybody -
this is promising to be quite an event!
So, a few details:
There will be a buffet, the size of which will vary with the number of people, so if you're coming, let me know.
We will split the buffet cost between us, but be buying drinks separately at the bar - this system worked well at the last event I went to at Enjoy!House.
People who are unsure of the way to the venue can either speak to someone who does, or we can meet up at the station beforehand

Julien Griffon has kindly said he will be giving a presentation on Wordfast - please note that this will be informal. I am going to bring my laptop to follow Julien's demo - interested parties can bring either their laptop or their photographic memory.
OK...
I trust you're all looking forward to this as much as me!
See you soon,
Calum

Meeting TIme Jul 25, 2008

Hello -
As you all know, things will be kicking off tomorrow at 3pm at Enjoy House.
Mr. Fowler has suggested we meet at the statue of
Ebisu-ojisan at the bottom of the big escalator near the Taxi rotary outside Ebisu JR station, and I think this is a good idea. The statue is outside the west exit. The map I posted before shows the statue.
Should you be arriving later than 3pm and fail to find Enjoy!House, please call either the venue 03-5489-1591
or me

Thanks for coming! Jul 29, 2008

Just a quick note today to say thanks a lot to everybody who came to the powwow the other day.
I had a lot of fun, and I hope everybody else did too.
I am going to put a report about it up in the next few days.
Watch this space....

Had a great time. Aug 4, 2008

A late comment, but here goes:
Thanks to Calum for organizing everything - I wouldn't mind if such informal meetings were a regular event - this one was both fun and educational! Oh, and no, my pride is definitely not injured - at any rate, you pronounced my name much better than I have yours

Julien - thanks for the Wordfast presentation! It made me look at it again and do some research, and thanks to this I'm n

Julien - thanks for the Wordfast presentation! It made me look at it again and do some research, and thanks to this I'm now testing Metatexis, which seems to be similar to WF, while at the same time being even cheaper (what can I say - I'm a miser).

Kurt - likewise, thanks for the Trados presentation and many helpful hints - if anyone ever manages to bring me to the dark side, it will most certainly be you

Dina - thanks for the pictures! And since I hate having my photos taken, thanks for not having me in any of'em!

Troy - that introduction thing was a great idea - had lots of fun introducing Calum to everyone, even though I misheard "Thai" as "Italian" (how on earth did that happen? I'm still baffled).

Everyone - I would love to thank each and every one of you personally, but that'll have to wait until our next meeting - hopefully we can have a nice and relaxing 二次会 afterwards too!
