This is going to be a quick post (though saying that almost always seems to mean the inverse) as I need some sleep.

This week has definitely been a busy one. Thursday was the first issue of the Eye Weekly newspaper where I was officially listed in the masthead as the ‘Website Administrator’, though actually my Wednesday nights have been given over to getting the new Eye issue online for several months now.

Wednesday was also the first part of the installation of the free WiFi hotspot at Dufferin Grove park, which I’m involved with as a Wireless Toronto volunteer.

Then Thursday night was time to install WiFi in a signal disused, semi-industrial space in Liberty Village, where this weekend’s BarCamp TDot un-conference was being held. This install presented some interesting challenges, not least of which were the fact that there are only 3 working power outlets in the whole space. We got it working though.

Then Today was the first day of BarCamp. Exhausting and with somewhat sub-optimal acoustics (parallel discussions in a single, echoey space are tricky). But overall it was really good, too many cool and inspirational people to list. Though the Unspaced guys stick out in my mind, the more I hear about them the more I like them. Seems like they create out some really cool web software and they do it in a craftsmanlike, ethical and successful way.

OK, now to bed. Tomorrow is day 2 (hopefully quieter) of BarCamp. Then Monday and Tuesday I’m at the Mesh conference. Around Wednesday or so I should probably do some work I can bill for, to pay for the roof over my head and all that.
