Hack Day – London 2007
Alexandra Palace was stuck by lightning which blew the Wifi receptors up at about 11am.

The fire grid blew out and emergency vents in the main hall opened.


We were evacuated from the main room as rain came in.

Clumsy Cracker
As we started programming the guy next to me spilt coffee on his computer.
He had to take it to the toilets to dry the keyboard out under hand dryers.

Apart from that everything went well.

Just a quick comment on last nights.

Having a bad experience early on in life has left Simon flaky and apologetic, I’m surprised he managed to win.

In’t City
In ‘City’ terms, Christina was the winning candidate: the confident one.

Un-zen
Successful business people are often like that, difficult to judge, it’s how they find their niche, budge ahead of the flock.
When you’re at the bottom people don’t often see it like that. More like you’re being awkward.

In 30 years we’ll all be chipped.

Moron

Was in Lloyds bank the other day when this bloke brought in a load of statements and his Hungarian identity card trying for a loan.

He had difficulty understanding, to get a loan, you need statements from your country of residence, 3 months of them.

You need bills and a passport.

fuck off
Of course the teller let them have the money anyway because we have a lending culture.
