collaboration and sidebyside playing in the software

creative minds...

JeffP has just left.

ccasady: right. People. "Community"

aeryn: :-)

sepapu: lol

AuntiAlias: the logisitcs of putting togehre a computer lab were.. well.. challenging

that's why THIS year things are going differently

aeryn: lol - not about the comuter lab part

ccasady: I have a web page devoted to memories of last year Bryce Retreat, if you are interested (look later) here's the URL:

AuntiAlias: rather than bringing the lab to theplace, we're bringing the event to a LAB

ccasady: http://www.tilenut.com/yomama/bryce/ghost/lookback.html

AuntiAlias: and Chris can talk a bit more about that in a bit

but....

on 2 dozen computers
