Austin Tech Events is live– and also follow-able on Twitter as @atxtechevents.
Annnnnd back–
My first priority this week is to implement some back-end changes to take advantage of some new App Engine features (specifically, multitenancy– which I had hacked my own version of. Adopting Google’s will improve performance and let me remove complexity from my own code).
Also planned: a tech events calendar for a new city, and a general refresh of the design (informed by reading Fluid Web Typography and Design for the Social Web while on vacation).
Check ‘em: Detroit Tech Events and St. Louis Tech Events.
If you’re a collector, here are all the EVENTGRINDER sites currently in the wild:
That’s gonna be it for a while– There are a bunch of changes (technical and design) that I’m working on, and I don’t want to push out new calendars until those things are done.
In other news, I’m on vacation from 8/13 to 8/23. Things will be quiet here, although I’ll still be checking in periodically to approve events. I won’t be hacking on EVENTGRINDER, which will be kind of weird– I’ve been tweaking it on an almost daily basis for a few months now, and it’ll be kind of hard to put it aside for almost two weeks.
I’m bringing some design books with me, though, and I’ll probably fill a notebook with ideas and plans for the pending redesign/unsuckifying. Stay tuned!
