Everyone loves a pub crawl…

How I wish I could teleport to Montréal for just one evening so I could take part in this, the latest community-building offering from Île Sans Fil. I’m so impressed with how far ISF has come in just two years, and honoured to have played a small role in some of it: developing awesome software that’s being implemented by other groups around the world; recently enrolling the 10,000th user of their free service; using their portal page for things that are interesting and useful (with lots more to come in that area); and having fun events like this pub crawl. You can bet I’ll be raising my glass to toast ISF on October 22, albeit from Edinburgh.

GEEKS CAN PARTY TOO!!

Ile Sans Fil is now at 10,000 users! We’re celebrating.

So . . . we’re doing a call-out. Do you:

– spend *way* too much time being a rockstar (on garageband)?
– work for bandwidth?
– consider joining the online class action whenever your ipod flashes
“lowbat” but still drool over the nano?
– blog every cheese sandwich you eat?
– have RSI?

After two years of busting our chops, we’re ready to put down our
laptops, pringle’s antennas, and o’reilly books for one night. Come
party with us October 22 (this Saturday!) on our first annual PubCrawl.There
will be (much) beer, t-shirts and prizes.

Prizes are:
-Wifi TeliPhone with 6 months free service (long distance inc.)
-512 mb iPod shuffle from the Coop UQAM
-Accesories you never knew you needed from Toshiba
-a little something you may have heard of called the “iPod Nano”

ma fille I will drink a beer for you (actually, a g&t for you, even if cheap beer is in the offing). I plan to cut down my ISF tshirt to make such a rocker-geek-chic creation as would evoke you in your absence. Kisses, I miss you,
al

Hey Al,
I totally want a flickr pic of you in the rocked-out version of the T, beer in hand!

(beer, on this occasion, may be more appropriate, given the "free as in beer" tagline)
