Barcamp Brighton 4 Day 2

Sorry its taken me so long to get round to finishing this post.

However I come to face this with two problems.
1) I haven’t got my notes as i lost them
2) I have a terrible memory.

I took sunday very calmly, tried to sort some problems out with my MacBook and in the end admitting defeat and installing Snow Leopard (see a future blog post for my opinions).

This is in the order I remember the talks now in the order I attended.

Star Wars Wedding – On a Budget
This guy had so much energy and was so proud of his achievement. I arrived her cautiously, unsure if i was showing a side of me that was too geeky. I was mainly attending to see what he was going to say (note to my fiance dont worry I don’t intend on putting you through all of this). He explained how he managed to afford the wedding on such a slim budget and how much easier it was. For for everything that he mentioned it had practical advice that could be used for any wedding.

His reason for doing this was to make a memorable wedding. He and his fiance were having trouble trying to remember which wedding was which. So they wanted to do something that everyone would remember.

Cloning TwitPic in 10mins. Using a selection of online tools this guy managed to produce a utility where he could take a photo and email ti an address. This would get processed and place a link on twitter. It required no actual code to be written by the author. Impressive stuff

How to Run a BarCamp- This is the traditional last talk of the day. I think i was the only none bar camp organiser at it. I found it very useful as I would one day like to run my own.

So there is my ever so brief summary of the last day. If I wasn’t installing SnowLeopard I probably would have written it as I went along again.
