In San Francisco in October

22 Sep 2008

Visa-willing, I'll be in San Francisco for about three weeks from early October.  The SynthaSite Cape Town office is heading over to the San Francisco office for a mix of team training, team building, end-of-year partying, and planning sessions.

I really enjoyed the bits of my last trip to San Francisco in May/June where I wasn't either sleeping or too exhausted to do anything.  This time around, I hope to adjust to the jet lag faster and use the additional tourists with me as motivation to do some more touristy things in the evenings and on the weekends.

Any suggestions on things to do?  About the only thing I have planned so far is to try attend the Bay Area Python Interest Group with Jonathan, which I have been informed is very boring geek stuff.

Hi, I'm Neil Blakey-Milner, a technology generalist most interested by open source, security, and building scalable systems (especially if I get to use the Python programming language).

I "work" at the incredibly fun web-sites-for-everyone startup SynthaSite based in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa.

What I do

  • StarCamp

    I was the main instigator behind this 2-day unconference in December 2007 in Cape Town. There'll be another one in Cape Town around July.

  • GeekDinner

    I help out in making these geek social events happen every two months in Cape Town since March 2007.

  • SynthaSite

    I make sure that the systems run smoothly at this Cape Town-born Web 2.0 startup.

  • Presentations

    I speak publically on a number of topics - generally related to technical aspects of open source software or on software development.

  • Code

    I've written a few software projects of my own over the years (although mostly I'm the only user of them).

  • Photos

    I'm far from an artist, but I enjoy capturing my experiences on camera.
