I’ve noticed that the site got a bit slower in the last few month.  That’s probably because more and more is thrown onto the poor server.

First Cyprus hackaton

The guys from The Cypriot Enterprise Link are organizing the first ever hackaton in Cyprus.  In case you don’t know what a hackaton is:

hackathon, noun : An event where engineers, designers & ideators come together to intensively and collaboratively build awesome things over a short amount of time.

Neither the venue, nor the exact date and time are announced, but it’s going to take place some time in September.  But if you are a programmer, designer, and/or entrepreneur, you should probably follow the news on this one and attend.  Even if you don’t want to do anything with coding right now, an event like this will probably be brilliant for networking.
