CodeCon
Got back from the first day of CodeCon. Enjoyed it.

Enjoyed the talk from the guys at Gnu Radio the most, but all the presenters did well.

Outside of the "official" programme I had some interesting chats with people, including an editor from Salon; the owner of No Starch Press; and the guy who did the original reverse engineering of the AIM protocol.

Also had a useful conversation with another guy about iBooks. It was very interesting to note the number of iBooks (and running OS X) in the audience.

Another observation of note was that although this is CodeCon, there were often as many, if not more, questions relating to the societal impact of the technology being presented as there were about technical issues.

Looking forward to tomorrow.
