A couple of weekends ago, I was lucky enough to be able to go along to HackCamp at the Google offices in London together with the mflow team. It’s the first ‘hack’ day/camp I’ve been to – and although I didn’t stay for the whole weekend nor did I actively participate in the hacking, [...]

It’s been ages since I last updated my blog and I’m feeling super guilty.
