The “burn” in walking away

10/26

So, I’m speaking at Barcamp ‘06 today and it is effectively a rerun of the talk that I gave on Saturday with one HUGE improvement.

Two Player Brain-Pong that actually works on request!

So, I’m giving my good friend Eric a demo, and two things occur.  Like all really capable engineers, he gets annoyed at the fact that my UI is in Flash (that happens A LOT).  Folks in my field generally mock other folks who cant do everything in pure python.

While there is an “import awesome” statement, it’s only used in dire instances and a pong game does not really fit the bill.

With that said, I did have to run an errand before my talk and when I came back I found that both my network stack and the overall pong code were being rewritten by my friend Eric and new friend Sam.

Damn geeks.  I should have locked my computer.
