BarCampRDU

Posted on by

Went to BarCampRDU yesterday. Good turn out this year it seemed.

I don’t think I enjoyed it as much as the previous years. But that may of been because I went to mostly low key talks about stuff I was already well versed in. That and what now feels like an oncoming cold may of made me more jaded than usual[1].

I thought about giving a talk on Func, but not sure it was really the right crowd. Func, btw, is the project I’m spending most of my time on at work now a days. It’s, surprise, a linux based systems mangement utility. I guess I’m stuck in a rut in that regard.

[1]And these days, when it comes to trendy tech stuff, I can be pretty jaded. And there was plenty of trendy tech stuff at BarCamp.

Attempting to run errands was a mistake. Glad I didn’t go into work today.

Reddit/digg etc seem to be dominated by posts about cults these days. I’m not sure if the scientology or the gtd folks scare me more. If I could figure out how to sell e-meters to productivity types, I could make a fortune. Maybe something once I clear off the todo list.

Motorcycle hill climbing on tv. Awesome. 220hp nitro burning dirt bikes. Be There!

Totally forgot about Henry Rollins being in town tonight. Enjoyed the spoken word/standup/storytelling gig I caught at Lincoln Theater a few years ago. “I’m a trekkie for King Crimson!”.

I don’t buy as many shoes as some people. But I ordered some shoes from Zappos last night at 10pm, and they were sitting outside the door this morning. Pretty impressive.
