So the "official" program of day 1 at reboot8 is almost over. A day full of talks and presentations, and my first impression is that my personal re-reboot failed. Many of the presentations (and I have been mainly in the main room, where naturally the "big shots" are scheduled) where hard to follow, without any point or general statement to be made. Many other presentations stretch simple ideas that could be told in a few minutes to half an hour.

There are some more trials open, this evening and tomorrow. Probably I'll try the smaller rooms tomorrow.

Update: The evening talk of Ben Hammersley made up for much of the day. Really great, very much inspiring and lots of fun. As expected.
