Last week saw us frantically doing the proofreading, fact-checking and editing of the session notes in order to be ready for the sending of the seminar CD to the pressers. (Is that the right word? Really not sure, but it'll do for now - I'm sure there's some kind of pressing involved somewhere in the process.) This sees the presenters beginning their resocialisation into the real world after weeks of solitary research and writing, so we're busy re-learning social skills and niceties again before we're let loose on you.
At the same time we see Lesley about as frazzled as she gets, since she's the one who has to do all the proofreading and editing for style: if our notes actually read nicely, then you've got Lesley to thank! Despite this critical role, it doesn't necessarily mean she's always 100% happy doing it, as evidenced by the photo below... (Spare a thought for her though, she has to read her way through tens of thousands of words of technobabble and turn it into English.)
It all came to a head on Friday, with the last of the "PDFed" notes, and the associated flyers, catalogues and bits and bobs all pulled together. A session of creaky HTML bodging by me later, and we have our CD Master (which perhaps explains the tenuous Dr Who reference in the title of this entry. Sorry, I can't help myself). You can see the result in the photo, beautifully modelled by Dimi, who has done a very good job of surpressing the "I'm so excited I could burst" expression he's been wearing for the days leading up to the release of GTA IV...
Right, that's all from me for now. You should be seeing another posting in the next day or so, this time a guest blog from official New Boy, Mr Michael Oakes. Hopefully he can give a bit of an insight into what's it's like joining the team. Either that or crowing/moaning about the Liverpool-Chelsea semifinal tonight...
