Geeking Out in Oxford
On Wednesday 11th April we’re giving a short presentation, The Making of Diarised, at Oxford Geek Night. Our proposal suggests:
A 100 mile an hour run through the development of Diarised.com, the lessons we learned, the highs and lows, the use of microformats, internationalisation, and the launch day experience of making the Daring Fireball linked list...
So not much to pack in then? We really are going to try and cover the lot in just five minutes. It’ll be fast-paced, breathless, and, hopefully, a whole lot of fun. It’s already looking like it’s going to be packed but if you’re quick you may yet be able to reserve a place. Entry is free and a number of us will be on hand to answer questions and generally geek out afterwards.
The keynote speakers for the night are Jon Hicks, talking about web typography and what's hot in the typography world for 2007 and James Webster from Amazon UK presenting Amazon's suite of powerful web services. With several other mini-presentations, that’s a mightily impressive line-up for such an informal event and it’s quite an honour to be given one of the slots to talk about Diarised for the first time in public.
We’re looking forward to it.
