I'm off to San Francisco at the end of August to attend the O'Reilly FooCamp – a weekend camp for geeks. I'm really looking forward to hanging out with some cool people, and getting to see San Francisco again. Due to peculiarities of flights, I'm going to be in town for a week and a half, so if you want to meet up, let me know.

So, having the bejeezus scared out of me as regards the potential catastrophe that would have resulted from me drinking alcohol whilst on my antibiotics, I was keen to observe the suggested 72 hours between last pill and first drink. However, Mr Biddulph was in town, so I ended up at around hour 60 thinking 'Oh… it can't hurt, can it?'.
I don't think I've ever been quite so nervous taking a sip of wine as I was last night. Every few sips, I'd pause and wonder if my stomach would start to cramp up and how far the vomit would go if I suddenly exploded.
Suffice to say that I suffered no ill effects, and had a lovely evening talking to lots of nice, interesting people. I am now officially back to normal.
Right, where's the vodka?
