York Uni wise, it might be better to talk directly to the individual colleges. The best might be Goodrick college (On the new campus), Halifax college (might be the best during term time as it is the least used) or the Edge bar (James' college) All this really depends on if you are in or out of term...

If you are looking at York, who are you talking to? I have an in there (I'm PhD student) so can try and reach out to people who might be able to help. In addition, I have contacts in local York pubs ect. Brigantes bar and grill have a room that can hold 20-30ish with wifi. This would be a free venue...

I've got a box of magic I've been meaning to draft from. It's gatecrash but I can bring it along for a little drafting

Birmingham would be my vote. York could be a possibility. It's on the main train line from London to Edinburgh and Birmingham to Newcastle. I think it has some of the best train links outside of the bigger cities. It's also quite small which might work for a meet up.

I too got mine today... But mine had to go via airship so I assume I was in the wave before (that is unless FedEx are very very good)

To the LRR crew heading to PAX East this year as well as any Runners who are interested...... I am flying in from ye old England and I will be NOWHERE near my max luggage allowence. So, is there anything you want me to bring for you? Maybe some food stuff that is only available on the "correct&...

Few ones picked up from Scuba Diving: The trigger to breath is not from the need for Oxygen, but from need to expel Carbon Dioxide. Under pressure, Nitrogen and Helium become narcotics. Nitrogen is a "downer" and Helium is an "Upper". Nitrogen Narcosis occurs about 4 bar (30m und...

Means I have to drive up from Baltimore on the the Thursday and miss the last day of the confrence....I do hope my talk isn't on the day..... Anywho, look forw...

I have only tested the downloads so far, but for the GPLP the download was only 37Kbs and the vid was so short I did not have time to observe the image but I am guessing by your description (short vid) that this is my issue. I will test the other options (quicktime and other vids) in the morning. OS...

All the lights are out, let us replace the fuse.

Hey, Love the videos, so gald I discovered you all those (2/3) years ago. The question I have is, I know you have filmed a lot over at the Uni and Jer now attends so you might be able to answer this. I am looking around for postdoc positions as I have to start applying end of this year. Vic Uni seem...

Okay, not sure if this has been mentioned before but have an example of LLR predicting future movies? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efNzhEKm3w4 "In a not-too-distant future when the aging gene has been switched off, people must pay to stay alive. To avoid overpopulation, time has become the cu...

Hey, I was the bearded fellow kneeling down at the front. I was also one of the British guys who won a ticket to the improv night. Amazing show, am so happy I got all the performers to sign the +5 hat of names. Jer's part of the improv ballet was amazing. I am uploading all my photos to flickr as I ...

When you say next 30 years when should we really expect it? Yay to fellow physical scientist. When I say 30 years, I am hopping this is the maximum time. The reason for this is due to the demands on Moore's law to continue. If Moore's law were to continue at it's present rate, silicon will obsolete...

Is it just me or does everyone in the first season of Star Trek: TNG look really young?

When it comes to forums and blogs, I always end up lurking, less because of the number of members, and more because threads end up getting very long very quickly and I worry that if I do end up posting I'll just repeat something someone has already said and has been discussed at length.
