Tinderbox Weekend Roundup.

What a great weekend, at once exhausting and invigorating. Being in the same place, working alongside bright people from a variety disciplines is the greatest of treats. I took it for granted whilst at ADU, and getting a taste of it again was more than welcome. Every single person there was fantastic, and I regret not having the opportunity to talk more with everyone.

From an informal survey, it seemed that the basic “what do you do with this beast” exchange was the favorite. To my surprise, a few people even expressed interest in my Tinderbox for small-project software development which I consider to be the most mundane thing ever devised by the hand of man. Besides the obvious Tinderbox discussion, all sorts of other Mac tools and utilities were exchanged; the recommendation of someone who actually uses something productively is worth its weight in gold.

Overall, an excellent experience. The bonus use of “reify” in a sentence was merely the icing on the cake.
