Conference proceedings
May 10, 2011 Climate: other
I'm now safely esconced in Cambridge, which is all very nice. Thanks to the generosity of BH readers I have invested in a 3G wireless dongle, so I should be able to report regardless of the facilities available, although battery power and my ability to type on a netbook will potentially be issues.
The conference is organised by a small charity called the Howard Trust, who appear to have no prior involvement in climate matters. The programme is pretty packed. Proceedings kick off at 9:30am and Jones is first on, speaking about the measurement of global temperature.

If you are forced to shake hands, count your fingers afterwards.
Martin, I'm sure the Bish has modelled all likely (and unlikely) meetings, and will not be unduly alarmed if at the end of the day he has anywhere between 2 and 6 fingers.
Make sure you have a hockey stick concealed about your person. One with a lot of binding and sticky tape holding it together.
I am sure it will be interesting to see some of the characters from your book up close.
Maybe while you are near UEA you could pop round to the local constabulary and ask them how their inquiries into the "hack" are going.
Good luck. If your 3G dongle craps out, you can always blame it on global warming.
Welcome to the neighbourhood Your Grace, I hope your stay is a pleasant one.
I thought it was only wi-fi. 3G too?
New shiny gizmo eh? So there is a point in tipping.
Keep us briefed and the good work up. Many thanks.
