[c2k10] Travel/Startup (Part 7)
When I think about the names of people on mailing lists who have helped
me solve difficult problems or learn something new, often I have no face
to go with the name. In my day to day life I may have walked right past
them without knowing, or saying hello, or more appropriately, asking to
buy them a beer or lunch as a way to say thanks for the help they've
given me. If you've been communicating with someone for years via email
or even phone, and you finally get the chance to meet them in person, it
is always an strange combination of both fun and unusual, or more
accurately, both familiar and unfamiliar. It's the contradiction that
seems a bit troublesome at first, but it fades quickly. There's a lot of
this for people attending their first hackathon, but even those who have
attended many hackathons probably experience a little of it due to the
new people they're going to meet for the first time.
Wondering "Who are these people?" is only natural but keeping
the event organized really does help. A great deal of thought and
effort goes into planing and organizing each hackathon. One of the smart
things done is keeping a master list of arrival and departure flights so
people can coordinate meeting, sharing rides and similar. From the
master list, I knew I would be on the same flight from SFO
as Chris Kuethe (ckuethe@), so we traded emails to confirm and just
assumed we'd figure it out at the airport gate.
Knowing one of the developers would be on the same flight was
reassuring. I almost never travel and this was the first time in almost
a decade where I was traveling alone without the assistance of a family
member or friend. As a novice traveler and first time hackathon
attendee, I made plenty of poor decisions in picking out what to bring
and I seriously over-packed for the trip. Showing you how stupid I was
may save you from making similar mistakes.
