How the signing looked

Here's a URL for the photos David took:

Things went pretty well, thanks largely to the presence amongst attendees of several people who asked good questions. I hadn't realized I might be expected to make a presentation. I really enjoyed talking to everyone.

glad it wasn't overwhelming! i'd just be petrified if i had to do stuff like that.

nice age spread among the attendees. that's a neat-looking store (never been there). and i really like the picture of you looking down onto what you are signing at the time.

LJ's parser is lame; it screws up URLs with special characters -- you can prevent that in a number of ways that mostly require a little html programming knowledge, so i won't go into it here. or you could delegate, and go to tinyurl, plug your URL into their form, and copy the output here, which has the main purpose of shrinking huge URLs down, but their algorithm also comes out with stuff LJ likes.

or ask your friendly household photographer not to create paths like that. :) which might make him curse LJ out -- well, yeah.

I'm glad the signing went well. It looked like a relaxed and friendly gathering from the pictures. A nice venue with comfy chairs too!

The problem with the link was that there was a space in the filename. This gets replaced by a bunch of symbols and numbers in Windows, but not all browsers and operating systems treat a space the same way, hence the confusion. The easiest way round the problem is to avoid using spaces and to keep filenames short. Ahem... I'll just take my IT tutor's hat off now and sidle quietly out of the door.

I'm fairly petrified, but I've gotten used to it. I think it helped a lot that most of my first experiences of this sort were done as part of a group; the Scribblies used to be treated as a unit, like quintuplets or something.

The age spread was the result of my mother's having gathered up two of her friends and marched them along. (They all enjoyed themselves a lot.)

My mom's the one in the yellow sweater.

Thanks for the tips about the URL. My photographer often uses makeashorterlink, but for whatever reason, this time he didn't.
