Unfortunately I&#8217;ve not met many folk in there yet.  So if you would like to meet up in a glow meet, have a yack and test glow meet a bit let me know.<\/p>\n<p>Update, I rushed this post out yesterday and went for a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/troutcolor\/tags\/benvorlich\/\" title=\"\">walk<\/a> leaving the post on hold, a senior moment.<\/p>\n<p>Since then Tess Watson has posted a great report on <a href=\"http:\/\/exc-el.org.uk\/blogs\/tessawatson\/2007\/04\/04\/glow-chat-and-video-conferencing\/\" title=\"Read Glow ?Chat?
