HackWeekend: an introduction
So I've decided now that, as I have some free time and I will soon have some disposable income, that it's time to start on an idea that's been brewing for a little while: HackWeekend. This is a radical departure from some of my previous ideas, in that it's a social thing.
When we were coming to the end of our time at university (and consequently our time as housemates), my good friend Alex Yong and I decided that this should not be the end, and we should all get together regularly afterwards. As we technical types aren't that good at small talk, we thought that rather than just meeting up and chatting, we should actually have an aim in mind. An independent idea from another friend (Dave Durant) around the same time was that he and I should get together for a weekend sometime with lots of Red Bull and pizza and very little sleep, and to see what we could code/prototype.
