In the tradition of daily live coding practice a few people have formed a hack pact to make something new every day in September. I’ve got a London Haskell User Group talk coming up on September 17th and a livecoding gig at the planetarium in Plymouth on 21st September, so my daily hack will be focussed on getting my Haskell stuff in order and practicing with it. I’ll document my progress on this blog.
In other news, a couple of film crews attended the last pubcode, and the bbc feature has appeared on their website. Features excellent livecoded algorithmic dancing from Yee-King and Click Nilson.
UPDATE: Hackpacters are congregating here.
