I've just had a really amazing evening. And I'm really surprised. Not that it was great, but how refreshing I found it, sitting there, listening to people talk about their passions, and be passions that involve changing some aspect of the world.

My own talk was first, and how at ease I felt with the material surprised me. It's something I've only been doing about a year, but I felt comfortable. I talked longer than I expected, people asked questions, we didn't make anything afterwards, people were too busy asking what stuff was (and I didn't leave much time). But when they started talking out ideas for projects! I was so happy. Overall, I enjoyed myself. (I'm trying to find some way to share an .odp file... it's like they don't want us sharing files...)

Then there was a talk on Arduino, and then Processing. Oh! I've fallen in love with the language. The demonstration was using OpenGL through JOGL library ports! And it was all done so easily, in so few lines, and so clearly. I definitely recommend Processing to anyone wanting to play with graphics, and isn't too concerned about performance. The presenter did a great job (though, imho, it is somewhat cheating if it's also what you do for your day job :), and there was great discussion afterwards about all manner of things that I was sorry to drag myself away from.

All in all, great day! And another one tomorrow!
