Charles was in London a few months ago and had the honor of meeting some London Niners: Sabot (and his lovely wife), Blowdart, and Irascian. In this video, Sabot and wife give Charles a brief tour of London including a ride on the world's largest ferris wheel (at least it sure seems like it...) also known as the London Eye. Then, we meet up with Blowdart and Irascian for some beers and good conversation about, among other things, Channel 9 - The Good, Bad and Ugly.

Enjoy! (As always, this is unedited and raw Smiley)

Thanks for the great time, London Niners!

My name is Dave Oliver. I'm a Technical Architect.
Thanks Charles

Lou and I had a lot of fun that day.

I hope you'll be back soon, there is plenty we didn't get to show you that is cool too. Give us enough warning next time and we'll sort a Geek Dinner and you can meet some more of the guys and girls of UK C9 and the development community here.

Lou and I, love showing people around London, so if anyone else wants to have a little tour we would be more than willing to oblige ... and you don't have to have a camera around for C9!

Take care,

Dave & Lou
I hear you guys about the information Microsoft presents as being like spaghetti.

Maybe there should be a more comprehensive independant "blog search" site dedicated to Microsoft stuff. For example you could have a section called "Office" and under that section is all the bloggers and all the little sites that Microsoft has, and maybe users could tag information.

It's kinda already being done with MSDN but personally to me that site is a little too much "OMGWTFLOOKLOOKLOOOK!!!!" for me.

Of course it *looks* like my nick is just my name, but actually, well, it's just my name.
Did I hear correctly, are the car thingies on the London Eye called pods?
So that would make them "Eye-pods"?
I'm amazed Steve J hasn't primed the lawyerpult already Smiley
(Although I'm not sure about the relative chronology, there could be prior art there...even better Wink )
It does look cool though...up until now I've been thinking "great big ferris wheel - that's so....tasteful" but now I definitely want to give it a go next time I'm in London.

On the subject of some of the issues raised towards the end: someone needs to think of a reason for a .NET 3.0 API for Windows Genuine Advantage.
Then we'd have a Windows Bondage Foundation, and I think the world needs that.
