Well starting with a nice early train journey from Whyteleafe…1.5 hours and three trains later i arrived at Falmer for BarCampBrighton3.
Those who have ready my previous post will know this was my first BarCamp and to say i was a little anxious would be putting it mildly.

But as usually i needn’t have worried, having bumped into two guys at different times on the way down who were also going, i started to relax and get into the flow early on (offering to help on front desk helped too).

Was surprised how many people didn’t turn up (badges left on the front desk) but there was still a lot of people up in the common room for the intro talk.

We went round the room introducing ourselves with keywords with others being much less serious than my “programming, construction and environment”.

Then the mad dash to the schedule board started, with everyone putting up what and when for their talks, I opted for an early start on the Sunday so i could get a feel for things beforehand (although this changed to almost last thing on the Sunday so i could go to another talk, but I’ll mention that later).

Well i won’t bore you with all the details but i went to many a session on  topics, including:
Flickr API, Content without restriction.

Oh and i met Aleks Krotoski from the guardian, who does the TechWeekly podcast and gamesblog-textadventure which I’m getting involved with.

To sum it up (because i can’t think of anything else to say), I had a blast and will definitely be going to the next one.
