I've reverted to my usual bad language while I'm back in the UK, so imagine what I sound like trying to debug the LinkedIn API.

Can anyone recommend anywhere that'll run a managed IRC bot? Or a bot that we can run on our own server?

@digisim Loved visiting - very much looking forward to talking more!

This Internet connection has been giving me grief since I got here - until I used Google's DNS servers. Worth remembering.

I've overdone it; I'm going to chill out for the few remaining days of my trip. But the good news is that I'll be back very soon.

@mapkyca There are lots! I've been to some. Right now I'm waiting for a meeting and this is the most convenient spot. Making fun of myself.
