Five demos at DemoCamp last night...

DictaBrain

DemoCamp9 on Monday

I'll be in the audience at DemoCamp9 at No Regrets in Liberty Village on Monday.

I'm especially looking forward to Unspace unveiling Pursudo, because I've been hearing about it from Pete for the last few months.

I'm also curious to see what Floyd Marinescu …

This weekend, being the one-year anniversary of the very first BarCamp, it was decided to coordinate nearly simultaneous (timezones notwithstanding) BarCamps in a gajillion cities (I think they actually hit 15?) all over the globe. I went to the one …

Presenting at DemoCamp

I'm a bit intimidated by my peers - all the other presenters have scary-sounding technological whiz-bang. Especially BumpTop.

The strangest …

Thoughts from a BarCamper...

Here's my post-con thoughts on BarCampTdot:

Opening & Session 1a: Asterisk

I got there around 11am. David had a label printer (for name tags), and there were free shirts and Ubuntu CDs. I milled around a bit, met a few new people and some friends …

Brief report, more later. I had fun, but more in-spite-of than because-of. Photos here. More later.

Tomorrow: BarCamp Tdot

So, I'm going to try this "BarCamp" thing tomorrow. I've never been to one, I can't really explain what it is, but I can link to the standard explanation. I'm a bit intimidated - I guess this is my scary thing for the week.

I am, nonetheless …
