<p id="p-0">June is finals month, but the call of <a href="http://www.atmedia2005.co.uk/">@media 2005</a> is hard to resist. I won't be attending the actual conference (sadly my student budget doesn't stretch that far) but I'll be in London on Saturday the 11th to ride on the coat-tails of the conference.</p> <p id="p-1">PPK (yes, <a href="http://www.quirksmode.org/" title="QuirksMode"><em>that</em></a> PPK) is hosting a <a href="http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2005/06/11_june_london.html">JavaScript get-together</a> in the afternoon at a Thames-side pub; confirmed attendees so far are PPK, myself, Stuart Langridge, Dean Edwards and Jeremy Keith but anyone else who wants to set the JavaScript world to rights is more than welcome to attend.</p> <p id="p-2">Planning a little further ahead, I'll be in and around San Francisco from the 11th to the 16th of July. My diary is more or less open at the moment, so if there's anything fun going on I'd love to hear about it.</p> <p id="p-3"><strong>Update:</strong> I almost forgot, I'm also attending the <a href="http://www.perfectpath.co.uk/wiki/index.php/London_Geek_Dinner_June_7th_2005">London Geek Dinner</a> on the 7th of June. If you're interested, there are still 12 places left (out of 200).</p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/atmedia">atmedia</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/conferences">conferences</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/javascript">javascript</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ppk">ppk</a></p>
