The location for Hacker Beach #7 has been decided today. Join us on an island in the Philippines next January: https://hackerbeach.org/hacker-beach-7-location-confirmed/

 

Should've started daily open-source updates two weeks ago, but wth.

Today I worked on a little learning bot that my mates @bumi, @slvrbckt and I have been using on and off to learn some Spanish in the past. I added subscription management for courses, as well as the first Wolof phrases.

 

Current language status: have been refreshing my French quite well, and learning some Wolof every day. When in Sénégal... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolof_language

 

OH: "Tigo wish you a very jolly journey!"

 

Hanging out at in Potsdam today. Ping me if you want to chat about RemoteStorage, offline-first web apps, or @hackerbeach.

 

If you can stand my fast mumbling for ~5 minutes, I'm introducing @hackerbeach in this passion talk at Offline Camp: https://medium.com/offline-camp/hacker-beach-5cdd18a4c5b6#.8zhqoaga0

 

Our official announcement for Hacker Beach #5 is up on the blog. Join us in Indonesia in January! https://hackerbeach.org/hacker-beach-5-mantas-dragons/

 

In case you're in the mood for some nice weather, good food, and chill workplaces: a few @hackerbeach folks are gathering in CNX in Nov/Dec.

 

Dear @offlinecamp people: if you're interested in tropical beaches and improving your apps' behaviour on bad networks, follow @hackerbeach!

 

Open https://map.hackerbeach.org in Chrome or Safari → add to home screen → look/zoom around → close app → airplane mode → open app → voilà.

 

During the "offline maps" session at @offlinecamp, I activated AppCache for our 4-year-old @hackerbeach map on @5apps Deploy: works offline.

 
 

It's not easy to leave a place, when this has been your office for 6 weeks: https://storage.5apps.com/basti/public/shares/160205-2034-baloo-terrasse.jpg

 

That point in life, when your daily schedule is influenced by the surf report.

 

Folks at learned some surf lingo last night, so this is our IRC chan now: https://storage.5apps.com/basti/public/shares/160110-1915-Screenshot%20from%202016-01-10%2014-07-03....

 

is in full swing, with 8 hackers in Canoa already and many more arriving soon. Book a flight and join us for some hack&surf! :)

 

In case you missed it last night, Hacker Beach 2016 is on! https://twitter.com/hackerbeach/status/648943820009263104

 

Hope to see you at Chaos Camp in August. @5apps, @hackerbeach, @KosmosHQ et al will all be at the Oblivion Bar. Drop by and say hi!

 

@hackerbeach Let's do it!
