October 2008

For the end of the month this month I'm sitting in a room at Chula University in central Bangkok at the Bangkok Google DevFest which is just about to wrap up.

Some quick thoughts:

• Unfortunately the internet connection has been pretty bad all day.
• The talks and demos where a lot more interesting than the commercial presentations from the partners.
• Opensocial looks really easy to write code for.
• There's some really cool new stuff in the maps API.
• Appengine is a great idea, but no use without a pricing model (due before March).
• Going to Roadhouse BBQ for beers afterwards is looking like a really attractive next step ;)
