The conference I was speaking at (kiwi pycon: nz.pycon.org) started on Friday the 19th with 'codewars'. This is where competing teams solve programming puzzles while hooked up to a data projector as the audience watch (and sometimes heckle!). The programming challenges are fairly simple, like "Here is a text file with the complete text of Alice in Wonderland. What is the word that contains the 4000th consonant?" Pretty geeky, I know, but I had fun. And, our team (all Christchurch people) won! Woohoo!
The conference itself was over the Saturday and Sunday, and I won't bore you with the geekiness of it, but I enjoyed it, and both my talks went reasonably well.
We are in the beautiful Matai bay on the KariKari peninsula at the moment, but I don't have time to fill in the details yet - it's (relatively) late and I'm tired...
