Workshops | dConstruct 2009
Workshops | dConstruct 2009 — Early bird tickets have just gone on sale for this year's dconstruct tickets at £345. I am running an HTML5 and CSS3 workshop with Richard and Jeremy. "HTML5 and CSS3 may be considered by some as distant concepts: far in the future and irrelevant to their daily lives. However, in this day-long workshop by Clearleft's expert client-side engineers Richard Rutter, Jeremy Keith and Natalie Downe, you will learn how these exciting new concepts can be applied today!".

dConstruct and my sisters graduation, a busy week!
The banners are all printed and packed away, the badges, stickers and cards are sorted into little bowls, programs have been stickered and stuffed into little plastic wallets.
The atmosphere office-wide has been buzzing with industrious preparation (in addition to the studious client work) for the past few weeks now. Sophie is definitely the star of the conference however, the amount of herself she has given to the organisation of dConstruct is almost super human and I am sure its going to be a great conference because of it.
The speakers have already begun to arrive and the first workshops start fresh and early at 10am tommorow morning downstairs in the Digital Lounge. I will be on the door for registration and helping out with the 'Managing Community, by Design' workshop run by Lane Becker, Thor Muller and Leslie Chicoine which I am quite excited about.
Late wednesday night I will be packing Simon off to Django Con and then dashing off up to London to my sister Louise's graduation from Fine Art at Goldsmiths. I am immensely proud of her and looking forward to seeing her all gowned up and I fully intend to fuss over her as only a big sister can. I will then be dashing back to continue helping set up the dome for the main dConstruct event. The pre-party stats at 8pm in Po Na Na on East Street and I hope to see you there!
Friday will be an extraviganza of 'Designing the Social Web' with an exciting lineup of speakers and talks. We were lucky enough to get a preview of Jeremy's yesterday and I think you are in for a treat.
Once the learning is over the after-party in 'Above Audio' can begin, no better way to end a very busy week and an excuse to socialise with the tons of interesting people who are descending on Brighton this week

Settling into Brighton
It has been roughly a month now since Simon and I have moved to Brighton. Our lovely if tiny flat has been suitably warmed and we have happily settled into Brighton life now I think. I have recently been contracting 3 days a week for Clearleft and as well as working on some personal projects and tech reviewing a book I am currently looking for freelance projects in the local area.
There have been a healthy amount of events since we moved, both social and tech-related, Brighton is definitely a nucleus of exciting things to do and it is great fun. It has been a bit of a conference season too, what with the awesome dConstruct directly after we moved, the great (if slightly hungover) BarCamp Brighton, followed shortly after by an equally great FOWA Expo. It has been fun meeting new people and catching up with ones I know, both those who I am in regular contact with and people who I haven't seen for years!
