Sosumi. I presented for the second time yesterday, but instead of a five minute lightning talk I was given an hour to give a summary-style tutorial on audio production using Audacity. The talk was recorded, both by ... http://daveydweeb.com/?p=148 Tonight was the Wikimania party. Lots of free beer, lots of small children (who, I'm told by sources close to the story, make up the bulk of the Hong Kong Wikipedia community), and lots of very strange electronic music. A lot like Merzbow, but without inducing actual, physical pain. So, at ... http://daveydweeb.com/?p=147 Quick update: Yesterday I gave a lightning talk to introduce the Wikipedia Weekly podcast, which is the whole reason I'm at the conference. YouTube finally decided to accept it, so here it is. I also gave a tutorial on audio production today, which was reasonably well ... http://daveydweeb.com/?p=146 Here I am, giving a lightning talk about Wikipedia Weekly: It went quite well. Youtube video to follow. http://daveydweeb.com/?p=145 I don't have a camera, as I said before, but the important thing is that everybody else does.

We were originally going to go with some people from WikiTravel, but they left a few minutes before us so we weren't able to catch up. We wandered around the markets for a few hours, and noticed ... http://daveydweeb.com/?p=143 I'm sad enough not to have a camera, but fortunately, this is a very geeky sort of conference: there is a lot of technology floating around, including about eight million cameras. The best part about this? Checking out the photos as people upload them. Be sure to keep an eye out ... http://daveydweeb.com/?p=142 I just arrived, and I'm impressed. No time for description, just take a look at this: Now, imagine one of them that's eight feel tall and revolving. http://daveydweeb.com/?p=141 Woo! *\o/* I'm sitting with Liam in Hong Kong airport (which is huge), using their free wireless internet on my iBook (which is tiny). Things I have noticed: first, the wireless is slow, but somewhat faster than the _nonexistent_ free wireless in Sydney (*shakes fist at Telstra*); second, it'll suck to ... http://daveydweeb.com/?p=140 ^ The tag probably gives it away, really. So much for the element of surprise. Wikimania 2007 starts soon, and we're revving up for the conference right now. The official dates are 3-5 August, but I'll be flying out of Sydney with Liam on the first in order to arrive a ... http://daveydweeb.com/?p=139
