OpenHackLondon, EPIC

Yahoo hack day, well what a weekend, started off in a team, got on the train down to London after and Epic Strip the Riley, followed by a Curry.

Whilst napping my team deserted me…. Not nice.

Got to London, tube, stole some wifi from the Radiisson Hotel.

  1. It certainly was a great weekend! I think taking a wireless router next year is a must.

    I think we pioneered the distributed Mexican wave coordinated via IRC 🙂
