All Around the Compass: East - Opium, Sex Slavery and Clement Attlee - Limehouse
**My number** is 07815009191.
**MEET:** We meet at Urban Baristas, 138 Wapping High St, London E1W 3PAA at **10.45** for tea/coffee
or outside just outside at **11.15** for the start of the walk.
It's a chance to visit one of London's oldest and strangest named pubs: the Prospect of Whitby, the site of Captain Cook's house. We'll visit the Troxy cinema that brought the West End to the East where the staff wore evening dress and sprayed the foyer with perfume and where Vera Lynn made her debut almost a hundred years ago.
We'll see the site of the hospice dating back to the middle ages, one of the oldest tunnels under water in the world built to take the goods from dock to dock, the basin for goods to travel around the country on the canal and London's original Chinatown. The city was full of salacious talk of opium and young white women sold into sex slavery immortalised in the Fu Manchu stories; the middle classes were as much scandalised as intrigued.
Come along, hear them again and be scandalised!
Finally we'll visit Hawksmoor's grand St Anne's church and find out its role in the Blitz.
The cost is £12. You can pay cash on the day or to my account: sort code 09-01-28 account number 75471878.
If you see 'UNPAID' by your name just ignore it.

Share Your Life's Dilemmas at Conundrum Corner
*this event is advertised elsewhere so there will be more people coming than stated*
✨ Conundrum Corner at The Union Jack, Southwark ✨
You know that thing you've been turning over in your mind? The decision you can't quite land on, the situation that feels stuck, the question you keep coming back to? This is the place to bring it.
Conundrum Corner is a warm, welcoming evening for people who think deeply, feel things fully and appreciate a genuinely good conversation. We're completely inclusive — whoever you are, wherever you're from, you belong here.
🌿 How the evening works
Share a real conundrum from your own life — a dilemma, a crossroads, a "what would you even do?" moment. We vote on a few to explore, and if yours is chosen, you'll take the mic and share a little more with the room. Then we break into small groups for honest, unhurried discussion before coming back together to share what came up.
It sounds scarier than it is. The room is genuinely on your side — everyone's here to help, not to judge. Many people say having their conundrum heard by a roomful of thoughtful strangers is exactly what they needed.
And if you're not ready to share? That's completely fine. Bringing your listening
ear and your perspective to someone else's dilemma is just as valuable.
💸 Cost & drinks
No fixed ticket price — just donations on the night. Grab a drink at the bar (food available too) and support our lovely hosts Jade and co.
When the discussion winds down, we ease into pub mode — the kind of easy, lingering conversation that happens when you've just genuinely connected with people.
🛡️ One thing to know
This is a safe, respectful space for everyone. Any harassment or inappropriate behaviour — during or after the event — results in permanent removal from the group.
Come as you are. Leave with a little more.

Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans.
We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans.
Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.
This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
