RuPy 2007, European hacker meetup

Dear hackers: %w(Ruby Python).each {|lang| lang.discuss } Thanks for a great weekend. “I’ll see you on the Internets” has never rung more true than when I and Tomek and Krzysztof hurried out to a waiting taxi (driven by a talkative bard-type, who talked “about nothing” with many words). Now: go empty your camera, upload them …

Fastavaled-out

Oh, that roleplaying game convention is just amazing. Even though I underscheduled this year, to have more time to meet with people, I had things to be done all the time, it seemed. Schmoozed with amazing folks. All the folks were wonderful, but Claus J (and his media student friend), and Frederik J (who works …

Ruby rockstars in Copenhagen, again

Cph.rb had one more visiting rockstar. Thanks for coming, folks, and thanks for presenting, Obie! Update: Jesper‘s photos. We did the most of Kassen as an impromptu conference space. There were a large table of guys from Cph.rb, and I got to meet well-known faces, hear some rumours, yammer on about Erlang (my programming language …

David Black on Ruby and Rails, in Malmo: a post-game

I will try to summarize my Malmo experience in the company of 20 new and old Railsers and presenter David Black. Our kind host Polar Rose had got a very central location for the event, a short hike from the train station. David did a good job of telling an understandable story about Ruby on …

Live report from the meetup (like a true geek)

**Update:** spelling, adding details, names, URLs. Sitting at the Copenhagen meetup, like some kind of backchannel geek. Typing. (There were five wireless networks around me, so I didn’t need the password to the bar where we sit. Quite a nice location, a quiet, loungy upstairs. I guess this post will be updated more than once. …

Another upcoming geekdinner

Yeah, please do attend, Copenhagen geeks. It’ll be interesting. July 28. The wiki page for [Geekdinner 4](http://irl.toothlesstiger.net/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Copenhagengeekdinner4) tacitly asks for ideas for places to eat. There is going to be a theme for the dinner, I think it was something about finding one’s peers, how bloggers can strike up continuous “conversations of action”. Or somesuch. …

Ruby on Rails meetup in Copenhagen

At Reboot, I was at a Ruby on Rails session called “Railways”, hosted by Jarkko Laine. A pleasant talky session which had the ostensible goal of introducing newcomers to old hands, to generate conversation. Danish Railser [Jesper](http://justaddwater.dk/2006/06/06/reboot8-roundup/) summed it up, and he and [Jakob Skjerning](http://mentalized.net/) (“aka Mentalized”, as the Danes will say, not believing you’ll …

Reboot8: Now done

Whew. The web-and-other-things conference [Reboot](http://www.reboot.dk/) is over for this year. I attended, this my second year, with some notion of what to expect. Meeting people again was a hit. I got to meet Flash guy and music composer [Niko Nyman](http://nnyman.com/) of Helsinki, and many other HKI folks. [Jyri Engeström](http://zengestrom.com) was wearing thin-golden-rimmed glasses which made …
