I probably wouldn't have attended my first DConf had it not been 
for
your blog posts on writing bindings for C libraries, and thus 
probably
wouldn't have attended the subsequent ones either, so it was 
great to
meet you finally!

If it's any consolation I also had an embarrassing train story on 
the
way the conf ... Like you I also wasn't sure if I'd got on the 
right
train from the airport so I asked some poor wee guy in my 'best'
German if the train was going to Daglfing. Unfortunately Scots 
with
bad German basically just sound like drunk Germans. I think he was
just about to surrender his wallet when an elderly couple nearby
chimed in with 'yes it is!!!', so face was saved in the end.

All's well that ends well!

Cheers,
