You've been to one too many poetry readings, mate! It's vandalism, and
it's illegal. The swastika is a symbol of hate (ask a Jew), and bored
teenagers. You're right though, it'd be a huge shame for dorkbot to be
beaten over this.

I fully expect Alex to be releasing some more software into the wild to
catch the perps! Documented in HTML3.2 on
thingsIwouldliketodotothosebastardswhenIcatchthem.com complete with
drag-n-drop kickings sounds from a variety of implements (crowbar,
boot, gideon's bible, ... :-)

Anywaaaayyy...

I wanted to congratulate & thank Alex, Dave, Saul, State 51, the
presenters, and any other folks involved for a really fantastic evening
- that was by far the most enjoyable dorkbot for me. Great shows,
stimulating discussion, friendly people, cheap wine, and of course ace
venue. Long live dorkbot-london@state51 :-)

Cheers,
Paul
