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.
Went into hackday, set up my machines:
Built a chair:
Watched some bands,
watched Blade Runner, And all three LOTR in order.
Ended up that me, phoenixrising, and Cauis built the twitter search API, but using YQL, so we didnt present it, but did/will be extending it to search other sites…
Then more bands and bean bag fun
Then came home again…..
And excellent weekend, learned a lot and lorward to going next time….

Decide on team and Idea before arriving
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 🙂
Hehe I forgot about our mexican wave, I was surprised at the lack of people who joined us in the IRC channel, too focussed on hacking perhaps?
Aww, I missed it. Maybe next year? 🙂
