PS12 - .net Academic Tour Stop Photos

Pictures from the famous .net Academic Tour Stop at Casino Nova Scotia earlier this year. I was taking first year Computer Science at Saint Mary's, so I was invited to attend a dinner and lecture and take home some free programming software.

See also: Everything I said in 227. (includes more about this event, computer programming poetry, and why I chose Saint Mary's Univeristy - can't-miss stuff, really)


The Towers of Purdy's Wharf, on the other side of our prematurely-aborted Barrington Expressway.


The shops of Granville Mall. J.J. Rossy's (rest in peace) once operated to the lower left.


Historic Properties. The Morse Tea building seen here withstood a wrecking ball impact - the progress of the expressway was stopped at the last minute. As a result, we have a vibrant downtown and a great shop / bar scene, but commuting is still a bitch. You can't have it both ways.


The old City of Dartmouth.


Opulence. Bright lights, coloured signs, and music and voices from speakers in the ceiling that tell you to gamble your woes away.


... stupid flash...


Every computer geek in HRM.


Neo from the CSC227 Message Board.


The Tablet PC demo. Very cool. Very expensive. Even so, the display was sideways when she hooked it up to the projector! I shouted, "Windows doesn't crash, it just falls over!" I got a few laughs.


Anyone want to buy me a digital camera?
