A good day, the two talks that I enjoyed today were “Flying Rockets with Free Hardware & Free Software” and “The World’s Worst Inventions”, video will be released later if you want look at them. After the conference I headed back to my apartment and started more hardware soldering and programming. It is at this stage I have to thank everyone who cooked the meal, it was awesome and allowed us to continue with our hack fest. By the time we had all packed up it was just after 12am, this made the next day hard to get up but meah. I learnt enough to be able to continue with my next project, I should at leased have a stab at it as I now have all the hardware to put a test rig together and publicised it enough so there is almost no backing out.
Nothing speial happens today, I spent most of the time in the systrem administators mini confrance. There were a few good talks but most of them I wouldn’t have added to the program. I suppose I was expecting a more in depth talk about the dos and donts of system administration. It was a long day, towards the end I nearly fell asleap on the job. So I went back to the hotel and fell asleep, after collecting food from a supermarket like place. I purchased some “drinks” when I was there and a while later was about to open one, and found the lid would not screw off. Just my luck I purchased a drink without a bottle opener!! Where did my multitool go? Ohh that’s right I left in Hobart. Well the main confrance starts tommorow, I hope I can find some good talks to goto.

I have spent most of the time attending the Arduino crowd today, the opening keynote while entertaining at the start it finished with a technical glitch that put a downer on the rest of it (Welcome to Wellington). Anyway the rest of the day seem to pan out really well, if you like to tune in check out the program and stream it live!!
Anyway I have lots of Arduino gear now, ready to do my bidding!! Well once I get time to program and problem solve everything. :/
Loving NZ I think getting lost alone has lead me on long walks and interesting places, I will have to come back to some of them just to take a few pics, before signing off I must point out the bus system down here (see pic) it’s like trams but no lines.. SO AWSOME..
