Well, “preparing” might be overstating it, but this weekend I’ll be Mashed 08 so it’s nice to read posts like this from Ewan Spence giving us mere mortals some hints on how to survive. It’s also interesting to see Ewan’s notes on his project for Mashed, which he started two days ago – this certainly gives some context for how pre-planned some people’s “24 hour” hacks are, and makes me think I should do some prep for what I’d like to do (although hopefully someone I bump into will have a better idea which I can join in on!).
