Hopefully that wasn't entirely down to me - although I did send 30+ 
emails to the use-list yesterday...

Well it has been a most productive trip - I have spoken (and given 
demos) to probably around 100 people; posted far more messages on the 
use-list than usual; just about kept track of what's been going on back 
home (Slack and its bot integrations are great for making you feel in 
touch!); *and* think I've almost solved two problems which have been 
irking me for a very long time... The 'wait' problem and the 'partial 
script compilation' problem (when I say solve here, I mean concretely in 
the context of our source-base - which is always an entirely different 
kettle of fish from solving such things abstractly).

Moreover, thus far I seem to have completely escaped jet-lag - although 
I'm probably setting myself up for a fall in saying that... I'm 
currently flying what is generally considered to be the worst way - 
east...

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
