Finally decided what I am going to do my hack on... it is going to take different rss/xml feeds that supply top movie and music titles and automatically download them through utorrent. I definately am not going to win anything except maybe the "Most illegal hack" award haha. Other than that it seems like this hackday is pretty good. There is a lot of differences than the last one. For instance last hackday in my registration packet I got a schedule of classes that were going on but this year I didn't... I had to go online to get it. I like that they had it printed out in 06. Also this year they checked ID's and gave out wrist bands and have people serving the beer. In 06 they just let anyone walk up and poor their own beer - lucky they didn't get a lawsuit on that one. This year they gave you the hackday t-shirt with your welcome package. Last year they just handed them out on the second day to anyone, probably because they ordered them late. This was good and bad, this year it was more organized but last year it meant I got 2 shirts. This year I liked how they gave you a card for free lunch on Friday afternoon. They've also kept a constant supply of pizza going all night, plus the beer, plus they have soda fountains and tea available 24/7. That's about all for now. I didn't go to the concert they had because it didn't look like it was anyone special performing. I setup my tent and it is getting cool out. I brought a sleeping bag but I don't know if that will be enough.
