Basecamp Silence
-
On the Tuesday there was a RUBY 101. I signed up (middle row) for the AM class and poked my head in the door for a while but once my mild dyslexia kicked in I went on my merry way chatting to folks.

.... I lead a recon into the programmers event in the Boulderado Hotel across the road from the main event and took a video scan of the attendees but when I heard a few snarls directed at me I again retreated in a 'tip toe' fashion
I'll root out the video and post so you all will be able to see (at least the backs of their heads) the group that have been driving SU forward for the past 6 years.

PS: Just located the short video and converted from .mov to .mp4, reduced from 4megs to 2megs with Stomp. Let me know if you have trouble viewing.
ThomThom is doing a presentation in this video. Notice the three musketeers, Csaba, Pete and Rich just inside the door ready to reverse out! When I got the 'Please go away Mike smile' from John B I also retreated
I really would like to get into this programming lark and have been looking at a 'picture' orientated system. Its by Carnegie Mellon University, I will post more about it later

..... on a more social note.
I was delighted to see that Brad Schell, the visionary that brought SketchUp to us back in 2000, managed to find time to attend. I had a great chat with Brad and he updated me on his areas of interest these days. The tip is 'go Green'! I wish Brad was still around the place as we achieved some great things, maybe he will come back
I also had great pleasure introducing Csaba to Brad and we where then joined by David and Amy Burdick, the E-on Software folks for a group picture. David and Amy are real friendly and fun folks to be with. I also introduced Fr Ted (via YouTube) to Amy! I hope she 'gets it' ...... I think she will
-
And I seemed to have successfully escaped the paparazzi entirely while managing to have an excellent time.

I like Csaba's Utah teapot pose
-
It's just good to see Csaba with his hand away from his melon....

Your fellow Ozzie, Andrew Dwight did y'all proud, he drank like a sailor and cussed like a pirate.

makes me proud.....

Yes, it was a great time for all. David and Amy are great folks. I had a few drinks with them up on the rooftop bar. Great to meet so many talented folks. Nice to hear Aidan pitch the possibility of making it a yearly event.
-
Yearly would be nice! I'm enjoying the information starting to flow from the event.
-
Ditto!!!

Thanks all for the short review, looking forward to more.
