Today we could sleep a bit longer than the previous days, as the Code Sprint only started around 10AM. The sprint was at the Stata Center of the MIT, a nice piece of modern architecture, with a lot of non straight walls, weird windows and interwoven spaces.

When we arrived, there were Drupalians sitting everywhere hacking Drupal on their laptops. I had also planned to join the hack fest to work on the CAPTCHA module. CAPTCHA co-maintainer wundo would also go to the code sprint (the other co-maintainer Rob Loach unfortunately already returned home) and we decided to hook up and work together/discuss some CAPTCHA issues. However, the wifi access was rather iffy, probably because of the Drupal hacker overload. I tried all available access points for like two hours, but nothing worked. No IP for me.

This made hacking a bit difficult as thing like CVS diffs and status reports require network access (mumblemumblesubversionwouldnt) and, more importantly, access to the CAPTCHA issue queue would be handy. Beside the discussions with wundo it was not a very productive day.
Bummer.

Still a secret, more to come soon.
