TPC day 1.5

Should've done this last night, but oh well.

Did dinner with Tom Phoenix, Ask, Robert, Hugo, Chip, and Tim. We hit a mexican place in the Gaslamp district. Good burritos, and cheap. What more can you ask from a restaurant?

Larry's State of the Onion was interesting, and based off the latest issue of Scientific American. Seems that Parrot's goal of being a good runtime for a lot of languages is now officially a Keen Thing. Cool.

After that was the game show, in which the Slashdot folks did annoyingly (and amazingly) well, though they still lost handily in the end.

Attendance was a bit low, though, for both. Being tuesday night, before the conference proper started, kept things slow, I think.

Yeah, I was really bummed to discover, just before I left home, that the State of the Onion was going to take place while I was on the plane....
