Horn OK please – On my way to Open Hackday Bangalore, India

Monday, October 1st, 2007 at 5:02 pm

After a refreshing and not at all annoying, pointless and anachronistic two and a half hour wait outside the High Commission of India in London I am a proud owner of a 3 month, one entry visa to India to go to Bangalore for Open Hack Day (no I am not bitter).

From the 5th to 6th of October I’ll be telling the India Hacker community about YUI and other Yahoo! offers and then vanish into the depths of our office to bring YUI cheer to the guys there. I will be back in London to get different rain on the 11th and then soon leave for Paris I think.

Anyways, looking forward to go back to India and maybe rekindle past encounters:
