Not hardly! Tomorrow is the Non-Profit SysAdmin's meeting, HackerNest
(free beer for $10!), WatPy (the Python group), a gyrls' STEM meeting
at the YWCA, and some seminar from the University of Waterloo
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. And something else
every weekday (except, mysteriously, on Friday. That's _really_ unusual!)

Keep an eye on the WatCamp calendar for all the tech events in
Waterloo region (and sometimes Guelph). Official address is
http://watcamp.com/calendar but I find it's more useful to use the
Google embedded link at

https://calendar.google.com/calendar/address@hidden&ctz=America/New_York&wkst=1
