It was good,thank you! Markro and later a couple of his friends attended.

We had a nice beer drink watching the regatta races!

Madras Boat Club beat Colombo Rowing Club hands down.

Sure, plan something!

i just recieved an ad for laptronics in my indiamike mail under the chennai meetup thread title but it is not on here????????????????

Nick-H · Jul 29th, 2008, 13:57

It was spam, and deleted by a moderator.

kalbarri · Jul 29th, 2008, 18:38

that was a sneaky little spammer. never had anything like that happen before. would they have had to hack into im to do that? sorry, off topic but i am curious.

Nick-H · Jul 29th, 2008, 19:37

No, no technical skills needed, just signed up as a member and posted.

We have filters, and a lot of new-member's posts get held up for moderation before publishing. Without that you would see hundreds of phone, shoe, blah blah blah posts on the board, not to mention the travel agents.

Some automatic stuff is there, but most of the moderators' work is chasing around after this sort of stuff. People see us being narky about posting in SMS, and jumping in when members are about to tear each others' heads off, but most of our work is watching out for spam and travel agents.

Sorry, I didn't make it to the regatta.

How about Independence Day weekend, Sunday (17th) afternoon, say 16:00 to 19:00-ish. That way it could be afternoon tea/coffee/desserts, stretching into dinner time if wanted.

Ok, I've suggested the time and theme. Now who wants to jump in with a location?

Any IMers living in Tamil Nadu outside of Chennai?

I'm travelling by motorcycle around Tamil Nadu. Any one up for inviting me to drop by for a cup of tea and a chat? Always enjoy having a reason to visit someplace new.

Jean-Philipe · Aug 2nd, 2008, 00:28

Thanks, Hash. I'll look you up if I decide to do an A.P. tour.

Hiya, all the newbies and oldies in Chennai,

I checked the meeting forum but it seemed a bit slow so decided to start a new threath.

I would really like to meet other trainees/students/expats here. It seems a bit boring here if one does not work in a big company.
Could we meetup somewhere to have a few beers?

For example wednesday 6.8?

Anyone in?

puchoo · Aug 4th, 2008, 13:49

Head on over to the Chennai meetup thread where there will be ongoing discussions regarding the next meetup..

machadinha · Aug 4th, 2008, 13:56

Yes, this is where you wanna be (browse to the end of it): Chennai Meetups

If it seems slow or whatever, there's no reason to start a new one.
