- This was a liveblog, so it is not necessarily presented particularly well, but it should capture the atmosphere as I moved through the conference. quality control. I might do some cleanup at some point.
- Partly this is because I'll be blogging from my mobile using the ShoZu application, which doesn't let you edit your posts. I won't have computer-based internet access at any time during my stay at ECG, so this is the only means I'll have to post. Apart from the lack of a post editor, ShoZu has a couple of other problems:
- It posts a "posted by ShoZu" logo at the bottom of each post.
- Perhaps most importantly, it isn't compatible with Blogger Video, meaning that any videos I post will have to be downloaded to view (unless you have some fancy Firefox add-in to view them directly). For these movies, a large movie picture will appear in the post, and you can just click on that to download and view the video.
- Speaking of videos, they'll probably be quite low quality as I have to transfer them over a mobile network.
- During ECG 2009 I'll be staying in a building in Llandudno which I'll refer to as headquarters or HQ. I won't reveal the exact location for privacy/security reasons. Suffice to say that we will be sleeping in dormitories and the building has facilities resembling a hostel.
- I did post to Twitter a little as well, but only really in response to the official Twitter channel. I posted using @ECGconference. ECG does have its own Twitter page.
- I'm a veteran of Easter People but I haven't been to ECG before, and so any comparisons will be with Easter People 2007 or earlier (meaning I might class things as "new" when they were actually here at ECG '08).
And finally a few of my favourite quotes from the conference:
- "God is far bigger than any of the boxes we put him in" - Glyn Jones
- "The opposite of failure isn't risk-free living, it's grace" - Ali Martin
- "This isn't the end, it's the beginning" - Amy Wyatt
