made a Nassau blog post with Dreamweaver. holy shitballs, what an unsatisfying experience. it looks awful. I only posted it at all to verify the workflow.

I'm Giles Bowkett. This is where I post random things that are too small for my main blog and too big for Twitter.

I’m there, in Hollywood tomorrow. Artists who worked on Star Trek and Transformers will be presenting. This makes it past my conference travel ban because driving from Silverlake to Hollywood isn’t exactly travel. ;-) Plus there’s a great vegan/macrobiotic restaurant down the road from there, so while food will be a little bit of an issue, I’ve already got a solve figured out: the restaurant does take-out.

I’ve been listening to SXSW 09 podcasts while working out. I do this every year. I almost wonder if it’s better than going to the conf.
a few of the mp3s are fantastic, but when I say a few, I mean like four or five since 2007 or 2006, when I started doing this. the overwhelming majority are just better than the music at the gym, or more interesting than whatever happens to be on the TVs at the gym.
I bet meeting lots of people is fun, although really it’s got to be about the bands and the film festival more than anything else. I think if I go next year I’ll just hit those, and the parties, instead of the sessions. I’d appreciate them more at the gym anyway.
writing specs for other people to use is completely different from doing dev BDD. my specs while developing are stupid as hell, but they get smart at the right times. it’s all about Kent Beck and the code/specs evolve simultaneously thing.
