Hobart Day 1

Well im in hobart for the AUC conference. Since i got a student developer conference i had to make an appearance here. All 3 of us who got the scholorships have to talk for about 10-15mins tomorrow arvo about what we have been doing and our experiences with the scholorship. Should be ok, im not sure exactly what to say yet – i mean, i dont know if they want me to give an overall talk about the scholorship or just concentrate on the project.

Ive aimed mine at the whole experience, so will try to cover the stuff we got, wwdc, and internships etc etc.

Arriving in Hobart was funny. The Airport terminal makes the Rocky terminal look awesome. Im not joking – the Hobart terminal is basically a big shed. Theres no carousel for baggage or anything, they just simply open the roller door (yep it is an actualy roller door), and drive the tractor up into the shed with all the bags on the back on trollies. They then open the gate (yep is is an actual gate / fence / wire), and its a mad rush to scamper through the bags on the trollies to find yours.

Was damn funny. I couldnt believe it.

Got to register for the conference around 4pm this arvo, then there are drinks with everyone else who is attending at 5:30. After that we have to find our own tea, which should be ok. Ill hook up with some of the other people and go find a cheapish place for food.

Had lunch at the hotel/conference place today, cost me $23, but it was a good feed. Still, i dont wanna be spending that much again

So yeah, thats about it.
