LondonR Rcpp slides

I'm just back to london where I presented about Rcpp at mango's LondonR event.
This was the third time (after rmetrics and useR!) I presented these slides, so I allowed myself some new metaphores about my long term relationship with R and my indiscretions with other languages such as C++. I've uploaded my slides to my slideshare account:
Rcpp: Seemless R and C++

I had some time to browse around in South Bank and Covent Garden before the event. I took some pictures from my iphone

Romain, is the bridge on the 3rd page REAL? I mean, how can we drive on that bridge?... In fact I wanted to ask this at useR!2010 but it seemed to be off-topic.
Yep. This is an amazing bridge. Here is the official website. http://www.leviaducdemillau.com/
That is (or was at some point) the tallest bridge on earth and is a blessing (believe) me for tourist travelling to france during the summer. Millau used to be quite a bottleneck in traffic jam, up to three hours to go all the way down and up. Now it takes something like 5 minutes to cross the bridge.
Rcpp is even better since you don't need to pay for it, whereas the viaduc is charged.
ahhh le viaduc de Millau, ça c'est un joli coin et je sais de quoi je parle
!!
J'invite tout le monde a visiter cette belle et cool région qu'est l'Aveyron!
Allez, a bientot Rom1,
