I don’t know if it’s because it was Bastille day or just because for two days in a row we had mostly sun, but today it felt different, so I made a small resolution on writing down a note about it, and here I am in the heart of the night marking this last thing [...]
another day, somehow shorter than the first, but equally engaging. I eventually did my small presentation, with the effect that I realized a good title for it just while presenting it. Here you can find the slides, published on google docs: Geeky note #1: presenting in google docs is ok… for a barcamp at least. [...]
Saturday and sunday I managed to get “out of the screen”, even though still geeking out at the Arduino workshop. I discovered a new and fun way of approaching electronics, same as juggling has been a gateway to physics in the past.

Since it was set-up as an interview to allow Feba to gather material for her thesis, I joined in with a few questions and here you’ll find my personal highlights about it (for detailed notes, see Feba‘s posts).
