(posting a day late)
Alex:
– finishing up chapter 3 of Real World Haskell
– thinking about extracurricular GWTs
Lindsey:
– working on the Factors and Factorials problem
— all that’s left to do is the formatting
— well, actually the algorithm could be better too
Mark:
– mod_rewrite for feeds and author migration on atlhack.org
– started on a Processing sketch-sharing site, Corkbird
Rob:
– hacked his school schedule
– something with Ableton
New Years Hacking
present: Graham, Lindsey, Alex, Alsie, Mark
Graham started on MSL,
his domain-specific language for mosaicing,
distracted by interactive fiction “violet”
he’s postponed the interactive fiction he’s writing about his research group (for the moment)
Lindsey is reading “Algorithms in a Nutshell”
Alex is looking at some Haskell
Mark making header images for atlhack.org,
randomly displaying them, writing SQL to copy tags from Drupal to WordPress
distracted by showing Alsie his collection of neat photos from the internet
22 Dec 2008 – special session
Several aspects of our plans fell through. We ate dinner at Mark’s house and were about to leave 9ish, but Octane closed at 9. Emily suggested we go to Inman Perk. We did and later continued the meeting at Mark’s house.
present- Graham, Mark, Rob, Emily, Richard, and Alberto.
Mark and Emily discussed the existence of evil.
Rob is installing XP on his audio machine.
Graham worked on an elevator in Inform 7.
Mark is making something in processing.
Thanks to Mark, we have two page referrals from http://barcamp.org/BarCampAtlanta. This is cool because I didn’t know there *was* a BarCampAtlanta. Since I’m out of state, I won’t be attending, but this is something that I want to see more of. As one of the BarCamp comments states:
Why is it that with the size of our technology and business communities, we can’t manage to have events like this happen? [Jonathan Peterson]
Check out the link above – even if you don’t plan on attending, it is a list of like minded people in the Atlanta area.

Graham: hmm, what did he do?
Octane Coffee, atlHack’s weekly meetup spot, is mentioned on CNN’s website as a spot for startups to woo investors. atlHack has never had any formal association with Octane, but its been a consistently good place (which has never thrown us out :-D) to meet up and talk about trendy tech.
