Hanging out in Wagga Wagga airport.

I’m catching the early flight to Melbourne this morning. Most folks headed back to their respective homes yesterday but I couldn’t get a flight back as all the seats were already taken. It looks like the flights this morning are going to be pretty busy - not sure if I’ll be able to work while I am on the flight.

As I read my e-mail this morning I notice that Jeff Wharton has uploaded some photos to Facebook from Code Camp Oz 2008 and started tagging them. I love this one of me riding around on the Esky Scooter that the lads at CSU have built. I swear that I had only had one drink officer!

This is fun that you can only have at Code Camp :)





Matt Hamilton blogs about his Code Camp Oz experience.

Matt Hamilton has blogged about his Code Camp Oz 2008 experience. I to think that it was a really great event this year and the Twitter feed really added another dimension to it. I actually integrated Twitter into my presentation taking a brief from my customer via Twitter.

Next year I think that it might actually be worth integrating Twitter feedback into the event in a more visible way (if it is still the new hotness :P) by connecting a secondary projector up and pumping the hashtags feed directly onto the wall.

Not sure what people think about that.





Code Camp Oz 2008 Day 2: Drawing to a close.

27 04 2008

Right now I am sitting in the last session of the day. Luke Drumm is taking us on a rather scary tour of his mental state as he uses pirates to explain the problem that the DLR is trying to solve. This is a bit of a radical departure from his XNA session last year, but its interesting.

He is bring it back to games development as games often use dynamic languages like LUA.

The event has been another success this year and I’d like to think all the speakers, sponsors and attendees for getting involved once again. In particular I’d like to thank CSU and the faculty staff for hosting us again, and also Microsoft for providing a lot of the funding for the event.

Nearly time to clean-up go home and get some sleep. I’m exhausted!
