Oh man, awesome! I just looked up the Red Line tap and it's literally two blocks from my apartment, can't wait. I'd actually just heard about the place and was meaning to check it out, what a great opportunity. I'm looking forward to connecting with some other chicago PDers.

Thanks to Mike for organizing the Chicago meeting yesterday, and to Kyle for also showing up.
It was good to connect with some other PD users here, and totally interesting to see what you've been working on / have worked on. Even (or especially) when it was over my head.
I'd like to do it again some time, assuming that you both haven't gotten completely jaded and stopped using PD completely ;) I'll be sure to bring some of my own material.

Yeah it was fun to share some meat-space with fellow geeks. We'll have to plan another one soon, and try to promote it a bit more.

Yes, thanks for coming out. I especially liked the Arduino/Sensor demo. I will have to talk with you, Kyle, about how to build one and where you got the parts.
And Ben, it would be great to see some of the stuff you are working on, hopefully your moving out of the neighborhood won't deter that... Of course, we could do this again somewhere else.
But the idea of hold a small workshop on writing externals would be a great idea. I would be more than happy to share what info I have. An idea for the next meeting.
Which bring me to the next question. When is the next meeting? Would you like to try this once a month? More, Less?
Thanks again, I would like to see this happen more often.

Once a month sounds reasonable to me. That feels like enough time for us each to make some progress between meetings. I'm open to whatever though.
Definitely interested in a workshop on writing externals. It's an area that I know very little about and feel like an in-person discussion would be a good boost.
And I don't mind a bit of traveling, just so long as I can get there by public transportation.

Yeah let's have an external-write-a-thon! I'm all for doing some stuff monthly.
Also, we could play around with the Arduino/sensors some more. I'll try to whip up a network patch that shares the raw info for the sensors and we can have fun playing with our own mappings!
I'm all for hosting a session at my place too. I have a lot of space. That's if you don't mind the commute down to 35th and Archer on the Orange Line.
