Thoughts and ideas of a dyslexic designer/developer
Sad moment to see the London Geekdinners are no more. As the Formerly organized of Geek Dinners its wasn’t really a surprise. Cristiano Betta and Melinda Seckington took over the running of the events back over a year and half ago when I left London for Manchester. And last year spoke to me about the…
Well the site went down a few months ago and it never came back up. Why? Well the geekdinner site was hosted by one person and the domain owned by someone else. This has always been a issue but I had never got round to moving the whole thing to my own server simply because…
I was listening to Technation on ITconverations today and Moira Gunn was talking to the guys behind booktour.com. It sounds fantastic, and really useful for getting guest for future geekdinners. But what suprised me was the fact Chris Anderson was behind it too. Hummm, I wonder if his experience of selling the Long Tail around…
I was writing to someone on Facebook and spent a hour or so writing the about page for geekdinners. Been meaning to do it for ages but now its at least started Enjoy! meta-technorati-tags=geekdinner, londongeekdinner, geekdinners Comments [Comments] Trackbacks [0]
After some minor issues with Facebook networks, I have finally sorted out a global geekdinner group on facebook. You can sign up here or search for geek dinner to find the girl geekdinner group along side the geekdinner group. As you may have noticed in some of the blog comments else where (Regular Jen) not…
This time a local superstar. Julie Howell from Fortune cookie previously with RNIB. The geekdinner started off slowly, I was a little upset that the bar upstairs wasn't to be opened with our favorite barmaid Henryetta. Most people turned up around 7:40pm and Julie turned up about the same. Unfortually due to all the flooding…
I made the mistake once again of not actually taking any stickers for my laptop. Damm it! Its also worth mentioning Guy West has put the video of Jyri's talk up here and Improbulus has a much deeper review of the night that I ever could write. I don't know how she does it but…
The last geekdinner with Becky Hogge of the Open Rights Group was another good success. It was a much smaller affair that ever before but we certainly had a lot of fun. The new venue was good but I didn't know we were going to be at the very top of the pub. Some people…
I forgot to mention I've updated the non-exist geekdinner logo. These were changed before the Girl geekdinners but I never actually blogged about them. This is the old logo per-say and heres the new logo. All the logos are on flickr under a Attribution Creative Commons licence. Large version Medium version Small version Tiny…
I went a fine girl geekdinner tonight. This time hosted by Google at their UK headquarters in Victoria. Took some time to get there but arrived in time for some Google style dinner. Can I just say how great a idea it is having free dinner between the hours of 6pm-8pm, if the BBC did…
