Hackpact: Introduction

My friend Graham is a good link to the productivity path of the sourcecoder. He always surprise me with his good use of the spare time, and he make me remember the golden years when I enjoyed spending hours trying to figure out the secrets of the ancestral art of developing for your own pleassure.

So sometimes we talk about metadevelopment (how to develop your skills to develop better). He told me about meetings he arranged back in the days with other people in the same situation, just to talk about their own projects, in an effort to push each other in the hard way to complete their ideas and to prevent them of parking the projects when things get hard.

And yesterday he told me about a Hackpact arranged by a friend. As far as I understood the Hackpact is a pact between a bunch of people with ideas where everybody undertakes to develop and document a small idea every single day for a month.

Sounds a lot of work to me, but hey, that’s what I need now, a virtual pact with some foreign people I don’t know for a greater purpose, in my case, the glorious exploration of the real-time rendering using scripting languages.

So here is my pact, but don’t blame me if I only last for a week, it was enough effort to recover this blog!
