I must admit, 'hacker' events aren't really something I frequent. They're a nice idea in theory and I'm sure they're the best thing since the light sabre bread knife for some nerds, but they're not my scene. My weekends are the time I get out and about, so I'd rather not do what I do every week day for my weekend too.

Let me get this out from the off – I am not a software developer. I’m an Interactive Media Producer which means… a lot of things. But what I’m used to is developing for the web. Your HTMLs, your JavaScripts, your PHPs. This C# malarkey is alien to me.

My first Kinect app

The Kinect SDK was due to be released "sometime in Spring" and in was announced yesterday almost out of the blue that this day would be today. Awesome. So From about half five this afternoon I've been playing around with a few basics of the SDK.
