Skud's guide to geek etiquette

In a serendipitous moment[1], I came across Skud's new journal (formerly q_skud_, now q_skud_) and its mention of her geek etiquette blog, syndicated at LiveJournal in geeketiquette.

I found it interesting and thought I'd post about it in case other people like that sort of thing, too.

I think I've met Skud only once, at YAPC::Europe in Amsterdam several years ago, during which time we talked only briefly. I'd been aware of her for quite a while earlier, though I don't remember how I first became aware of her. Presumably some Perl connection, though.

[1] I was googling for the phrase "Elke Tanzer" site:livejournal.com for no good reason other than that the name popped into my head. I have no idea why it did that.

Friends list swap

Inspired by this entry of q_skud_'s (and this one)—would someone like to swap friends pages with me for a day? As in, I read their friends page instead of mine that day, and they read my friends page instead of theirs. Preferably someone with whom I don't share that many friends.

Which day to swap to be arranged after I've found someone.

Passport to the Pub: A guide to British pub etiquette

A very interesting read about how to behave in pubs: useful for visitors from outside the UK, but may also be interesting to those who live there to see the unwritten rules they may not be aware of following.
