‘Networking’
Saturday, October 20th, 2007

I entirely agree with this chap when he talks about being in someone’s company because you want to be, not for what advantages it can get you in life.
I have been in situations at conferences where you think you are having a nice chat with someone and then they get starstruck and leave suddenly - […]

So that was Oxford Geek Night 2
Friday, April 13th, 2007

The second Oxford Geek Night last night went well and was by all accounts a success. We came across various hiccups in setting up but several totally ingenious solutions and a few friendly geeks later we were all set. The talks were great, and in my mind they really made the event what it was. So, [...]

Oxford Geeks hit the media!
Sunday, February 25th, 2007

It looks like the last of the Oxford Geek Nights has caused quite a stir in the media recently. I'm not entirely sure how the Oxford Mail initially came across the story but it got half a page of coverage in last Wednesday's edition (see online version or archived online version) As a result of this [...]

An excitable BarCamp
Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

This week has just been all go! Fresh from a successful project launch I dived straight into BarCamp. BT were generous in their provision of the great venue we used for the weekend. There were over 160 people attending, roughly 70 of whom stayed overnight we think!

Co-organising BarCamp with Ian and Jason was a lot […]

First Oxford Geek Night a success!
Thursday, February 8th, 2007

Thanks to everyone who came last night. I really hope everyone had a fantastic evening, we had some interesting talks and some cool demos. It was pretty tricky to judge numbers from where I was sat, but I have been told that we had over 100 people at one point, which is great!
The running order […]
