@jessitron Interesting, didn't know about the history of the word, thanks. Doesn't change the meaning it took on, though.

Our pleasure :-) RT @EuroClojure: and many many thanks to @sthuebner @edlich @stilkov for making it happen in Berlin
@bodil OK … then I'll just hope they'll schedule it while I'm there.
@bodil When's your geecon talk scheduled? Found you in the speaker list, but not the schedule
