DemoCampCalgary 12
The best demos invariably make use of the phrase, “and hopefully we won’t get sued!”
If you have ever thought about demoing software at Calgary Demo Camp, first ask yourself this question… are you hoping you won’t get sued? If not, why not? You’re not going to hopefully not get sued by just thinking about it.

The “hopefully we won’t get sued” demo at Calgary’s 12th Demo Camp was Mike Tighe presenting for TransIT.ca, due to its sheer bloody minded usefulness. As documented on Twitter days prior to the demo, Calgarians have some mixed feelings about Calgary Transit’s website.
Not to be outdone in the not-evil department, Leif Baradoy demonstrated Christmas Future, a philanthropic site specifically targeting the holiday season. By purchasing credits for your friends and family you then allow them to select from a wide range of charitable organizations which one will receive the donation.
This is especially handy if you have any racists in your family. A quick look at the Christmas Future diversity icon shows a green Martian lurking behind the blue and yellow fellows, just to the side of the orange woman. Some say it is in our long term interest to help pull the Martians out of poverty, as our growing income inequalities will only lead to turmoil in the future.
When I hear talk like that, I look ‘em straight in the eye and ask, “Just what planet are you from, pal?”
And of course Cambrian House demonstrated our beta of GWABS, where Gazzard pummeled Greg mercilessly in combat on a shared pseudo Windows 3.1 desktop. Greg claims this is because he was trying to follow MJ’s continued instructions pertaining to the demo itself. Gazzard claims it is also because he is far better than Greg at GWABS due to Greg’s high level of “suckage”.
To participate in the beta, give GWABS a shout and they’ll add you to the next test cycle.

We had a great time and met some awesome people (with some solid pointers for us) - thanks for making the video!

I was hunted by stalkers on lavalife intimate. They produced hundreds of mens profiles, check the wayout countries and you will see them all. They all have the same height 5.11 and were produced around the same day. They steal photos from other online dating sites and information from the people they talk to. They also targeted the children in my family through their bebo sites. Most of their profiles are in the Gold Coast in Qld, Qld, Adelaide, Perth, Sydney North in Australia. They are crazy.
