As a final techie flourish, the symposium feedback form is available online at:

Someone asked how long the website and the blog will remain after the conference.
The website, including the blog, IRC logs and the Chump, will remain as a permanent record of the symposium. However, we will be switching off the blog login tomorrow so you will lose your ability to post and edit entries although the blog content will remain.
Welcome to the Colston Research Symposium 2004 Weblog. This
site is a forum for discussion and information sharing as well as a
permanent record of the event.
Symposium delegates have each been allocated a user name and
password that will allow them to login via the link on the left and
post messages to this blog. Non-delegates are also invited to
participate by commenting on blog entries or by joining the symposium's
IRC chat channel. Please see the notes on electronic participation for
quick-start details on how to use this weblog and the symposium's IRC
chat and chump facilities. Above all, share information, share ideas,
share opinion and be imaginative about how you make use of the
communication channels on offer.
We've enhanced the Movable Type blog software to allow rich
text editing for recent versions of Internet Explorer (PC),
Netscape (PC/Mac) or Mozilla (PC/Mac). We've also installed
"moblogging" support to allow posting from email capable mobile phones
or PDAs directly to the blog. Emails can include images - so watch out
what you get up to at the dinner! To moblog, your mobile phone number
needs to be registered with the system. Please leave your number at the
help desk if you'd like to try this feature out.
