Camping for geeks
Like all good things, this year’s Codebits has come to an end. Some people in denial still hang to their wristband, but I took mine off when I got home as it was a starting to become too tight.
Loved it again, and what can I say? It’s hard not to like an event such as this that touches all the soft spots in a geek.
I won one of the prizes with my own crazy project, lent a hand in another that also won, did my first overnighter in years, got a mild cold and got sick of pizza again, though in a few days I’m sure I’ll be hitting some pizza joint when the time for lunch comes.
Here is an event, where people will not leave for most of day (if they leave at all), where they’ll be doing exactly the same things as they do in their working hours of the rest of the year, often with the very same people. I can’t speak for everyone, but I think we’re very fortunate to be working on something we love so much.
Now let’s archive this year’s project, mark one line of the Taskpaper Ideas file as “done”, and patiently wait for Codebits X (MMX?).
Meanwhile, the project number tag still glued to my laptop’s back can remain there…
I like this website…good info. discovered it on Bing. will save it as a favorite.
