Speaking of publicity (and topposting because I want to :-) ...
One of my students is a technology reporter for the Dominion Post. I did
ask about trying to get something in before the Installfest to help build
publicity, but he tells me the would more liekly to do something about it
after.
Also, any thoughts on heading to Bluebird (penguin as a logo) to do
something - maybe snacks at the event?
Enjoy.
