I’m home from BathCamp – the Bath barcamp. I don’t have a lot to say about it, but wanted to post a quick thanks to all of the organisers.
This was my first barcamp outside London. I mainly went because Bath is my old Uni town, and any excuse to go back is always good. But I’m really glad I went – and will definitely be looking out for more non-London developer events.
A few random thoughts from my sleepy brain…
del.icio.us pecha kucha: ten seconds to describe each of the last ten pages that you’ve saved in del.icio.us. Similar to delicious.salted.com but driven by a Python script, we took turns to give it our del.icio.us username, and each of our last ten saved webpages were opened in turn and displayed on a big screen. Very neat idea, and one that I will have to steal at some point. It makes for a fascinating geeky ice-breaker.
