A brief summary of recent and upcoming events.
- I got to meet Cory Doctorow again. This time it was at an SF in SF event. I got two more of his books, Eastern Standard Tribe and Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town. Both of which I read previously in ebook form and both of which he was kind enough to sign. (Which for those of you keeping score at home, means I now own all but one of his books and they’re all signed.) He also complemented my “All I need to know about you, I learned from your wireless network.” T-shirt
- At the same event I was introduced to the works of Rudy Rucker which are also pretty awesome.
- I’ve been working a lot in preperation for WWDC. If you’re reading this and are going to be there you should definitely get in touch with me and say hello. I’ll probably be spending a lot of time talking about Twisted and the Calendar Server
- I bought a fixed gear bike. It’s a conversion with an old Trek frame. It is ridiculously light and ridiculously fun to ride. I rode it to work this morning (Down the hill->Mountain View via Caltrain->Cupertino) and home this afternoon. I’m going to try to do this about twice a week until I can make it all the way to Leavenworth and Sacramento from 4th and King. I have a route which is pretty good as far as hills go, but there is no getting around those last 4 blocks of hill. Once I can do that I’m going to bump it up to 3 times a week and we’ll see how things go after that. If i’m still alive next month it’ll be a good sign. (Though the week of WWDC I’ll be cheating because I’m only like 6 or 7 blocks from it.)
I think that’s pretty much it for now. I’d like to say I’m going to start blogging more, but I don’t really care. If you need to know what I’m doing every single day, well that’s why I have twitter.
