I know why. You and I met for the first time and were downstairs in front of the air conditioning. London was hot that day! :)

I remember the meeting, but not the air conditioning. On the other hand @tcaspers says we were smoking across the street.
Conflicting prime sources. A tricky historical problem...

You are not going to be let off the hook that easily! There was a distinct sequence of events, and we have to recreate it exactly 🙂.
Which came first, the air conditioner or the smoking?

Ha! Well, I remember us in the basement first and then folks went out, but I don't smoke cigs so you might have headed out first for that nicotine fix. But I believe the sort order was basement, air flow and then onward.

OK, then we'll keep to that order. Makes sense.
I do remember a basement, but I thought it was the second year.

Maybe then as well, but I'm pretty darned confident it was 2005 because we'd just met and got into an interesting conversation. And it was that day.

I remember the meeting, but not the venue. I think I had a pint with @brucel first, then met you.

Memories flood back. When we met, you were a rare instance in my entire career of your sweet nature in person as opposed to your more aggressive approach to issues of that time. I believe my first question was "So WTF is the drama with you and Tantek!" I've forgotten the answer!
