We had a great meetup on Thursday, with probably 14 - 15 bloggers in attendance.

More photos in the flickr group.
At the last meetup I produced an image containing the front page of all blogs. This time Richard produced a graph of the increase in blog numbers over the year.

from the pages stored in the wayback machine, via two little
Groovy scripts I knocked up. Then thrown into NeoOffice and
Numbers."
Blog roll and photos of the meetup to follow.
