Hi all,

If you missed the chance to register for the TedEx hackathon (and just discovered that it's full) then why not join a bunch of passionate lunatic coders at the Tram Depot on Saturday morning for some hacking, coding, beer, coffee... laptops and friends.

I'm going to be there from 11am onwards, regardless of whether anyone else arrives or not as I'm promised myself to take a deep dark look at Amazon services and will be hacking together a mashup of using Yahoo Query Language to query Flicker for photos about "my friends" latest tweets, and will be storing the result on Amazon's SimpleDB storage.

having recently looked at CouchDB at Snowcode (www.meetup.com/snowcode) I'm very keen to see how Amazon do their storage.

I'm a complete novice to Amazon S3, and will literally be cutting and pasting sample code from google'd sources together with code from a O-Reilly's "Programming Amazon Web Services" kindly lent to me by Warwick Bailey from Icodeon.

RSVP now for 2 free beers at the pub on Saturday.
If the weather is as wonderful as it was today and you want to leave your laptop behind then feel free to come along just for the two free beers.

beers sponsored by SNOWCODE. (i.e. me.) You must RSVP before Friday 5pm in order to qualify for the 2 free beers.

;-)

cheers all,

Alan
