Some life updates, for those interested:
- I’m working on moving my blog over to Pathfinder Blogs sometime soon. You should have seen it coming so far. Wordpress is fine and dandy, but nothing beats people making/tweaking stuff for me on my will. I hope. Eh Mark?
- I’ve started driving lessons to get my much anticipated (by all) driving license. So avoid going around at streets in afternoons, between 19:00 and 20:00. Danger lurking.
- Life (and by life I mean work) is now busier than ever. Cool things coming up though, so check back for updates.
- The new raging virus called GBC07 memorabilitis still hasn’t left me (and others, I think). 2 days on a beautiful island with some good fellow bloggers / web professionals was too good to be true. Check out the posts, the photos, the videos.

GreekBloggerCamp is over – now when’s the next one?
I had tons of fun with everyone I met there, nice and smart people all of them. Kudos to mr. Stefanos Kofopoulos (aka Titanas, aka the Mastermind) that organized this all, it was brilliant.
It was nice chatting with so-called VIPs of this field (namely Steve Smith and Matt Mullenweg), but then again, their attitude was not VIPish at all. Smart and friendly guys, both, they were eager to sacrifice their time in sunny Ios to talk with us and answer our questions.
The keynotes were great and I loved the fact that there was almost everything: from the impact of blogging in advertising campaigns and politics to web standards and Drupal and the almighty Pathfinder Blogs that just got out of beta.
I regret having to leave so early, wanted to stay for one more day, but things were already decided so..
I have uploaded about 70 photos in Flickr, didn’t have the time to add titles and descriptions to all, but I will tomorrow. Check them out and add your own, tagging them with “gbc07” to make them easier to find.
Well, “first” is kinda subjective for a two-day event, but anyway.
Things are nice here in Ios. Talked with a ton of interesting people, checked out the beaches, partied a bit and everything’s cool.
The event turns out better than expected. I think it’s gonna be a must-go event for next year.
4 presentations for today, we’re bound to hear some interesting things, more GBC related stuff on Twitter and Flickr later…
