The EuroHaskell 2004 Conference was great fun. Shae Erisson gave a Haskell tutorial, Jeremy Bobbio gave a talk about hOp, and John Hughes gave a talk/tutorial about Arrows. Code was written, pizza was purchased, most attendees claimed to enjoy themselves. A social event for programmers may be an oxymoron, but it was nice to get so many Haskellers in the same room. Until you've experienced the range of jokes and puns that can come from a CS Student Pub named "The Monad" you haven't plumbed the depths of FP humor. Anders Carlsson has pictures on his website: http://ridley.csbnet.se/gallery/eurohaskell Some of my favorites are the signs: http://ridley.csbnet.se/gallery/eurohaskell/p1010059 - (this is a bathroom / watercloset / toilet, insert your local term) http://ridley.csbnet.se/gallery/eurohaskell/p1010052 and of course the unicycle pictures: http://ridley.csbnet.se/gallery/eurohaskell/p1010026 http://ridley.csbnet.se/gallery/eurohaskell/p1010047 Tune in next year for EuroHaskell 2005! -- Shae Matijs Erisson - Programmer - http://www.ScannedInAvian.org/ "I will, as we say in rock 'n' roll, run until the wheels come off, because I love what I do." -- David Crosby
