Hack Day London

Me and Chris
Originally uploaded by Mirka23

I've started to add my photos from Hack Day to Flickr. The photo at right shows me and Chris, trying to continue our hack after being evacuated from the West Hall into the adjacent Palm Court (where there were no power cords, and no wifi). See the rest of the photo set here.

How rainy is London?

Today, at the first day of Hack Day, as I was listening to the conclusion of a very interesting talk about new Geo mobile APIs from Yahoo, there was a dramatic booming sound, the ceiling opened and it started raining inside the building.

See the video for a further explanation of what happened.

Off to London

I'm heading to London this evening. This will be somewhat new for me, because even though I've been to London 4 times in the past 6-7 years, I've only ever gone in late Fall or Winter. I'll write more about what I've been up to when I get back.
