With Bob’s help, I managed to collect most of the grapes from the vine on the patio and made an impressive amount of jam, enough to share with the neighbours.
Last night’s DemoCamp was the first I had been to for ages and my, how it’s grown! Hosted at the Toronto Board of Trade, complete with buffet dinner, it felt more like an official suit & tie thing than democampers and torcampers are used to. Not to worry, the presenters were the same jeans & T-shirt crowd and the works in progress as interesting as I’d hoped.
Favourite presentations: Greg Wilson on Beautiful Code (but that’s a book I really wouldn’t understand), Andie Andreoli on Startup Weekend (great to see what old friends are up to)
Bonus items during the break: watching people play Guitar hero II, playing with the prototype for One Laptop Per Child (can’t resist the usual descriptor: it’s cute!).
