Thoroughly enjoying the book, so here's the online discussion.

The first time I met Cory IRL, was shortly after the first couple of episodes of "Jury Duty" had appeared that later became the early chapters. I think it might have been an NTK meet in London or perhaps one of the not a conferences in London for people who hadn't made it to the O-Reilly Emerging Tech conference. That must date it to 2001 or so, so this book has had quite a long gestation period.
