I just saw the new Pumping Station: One location for the first time, and it’s made me very excited. Getting a bunch of talented, interesting, friendly people together is just what I had in mind as I finished reading Earth Abides. Seeing everybody in the actual space today cemented the reality of the group in my mind, and has me full of anticipation of what we can accomplish.
Everybody is making me jealous with their ASUS EEE PCs, and now that I have somewhere to hang out and code I really need a laptop! So that’s my next project… The big decision is not really on the hardware but the software: Linux or Windows? The last time I ran Linux was in college, so I’m a little hesitant.
