The Fifth Wheel of andrewg

BarCampGalway was great. An interesting and eclectic collection of talks and a serious dose of geek craic in the Westwood afterwards. Talks I attended at least some of included:

• Moving between Windows and Ubuntu by James Cooley
• Django for WebApp development by Kevin Noonan
• Machine Learning by Aidan Finn
• Microsoft Silverlight by Martha Rotter (cross-platform? Really?)
• Gamepad driven text editing by John Sturdy (so what’s Emacs?)
• Perl lightning talks by Tim Bunce (apologies for typing furiously during it, but I was listening)
• Drupal by Vincent Jordon
• Demystifying Internet Marketing by Alastair McDermott

All good clean fun. Thanks to John, Aidan and Conor for organising.
