Thanks to everyone who made the Cardiff devmeet so fun, a special thanks to Helen for letting us stay over and Ian for cooking breakfast for everyone it made this one of the most enjoyable meets thus far.

Here are some photos from the event that myself and others have taken:



More will be added as I find them.

It appears that a lot of my "recent" journal entries have all begun along the lines of "its been a long time since I was last here" and this appears to be a frequent trend. I have been here, mostly idling not logged and while quite often logged in on irc and active behind the scenes with meets and such like I haven't been seen to be part of the community that I grew to love and hate in such epic proportions so as to make me want never to leave however tiresome I got of the constant reminders that this place had been slipping into becoming quite like an artists version of myspace.

Regardless of that fact I do love the community and have in the past been quite active in both photography and isometric galleries with my most famous and subsequently popular piece being the isometric collaboration since which has had many a copy-cat. The isometric collaboration is still a work in progress which is sad because it shows how hard a majority of the community work towards a common goal while those who couldn't be bothered stopped it from going further. With respect to the isometric collaboration I am determined to get it finished, I have had a lot of university work on the past few months but now that has all subsided to a steady trickle allowing for extra projects like this on the side.

It saddens me a little to see that I am no longer a member and that had I kept up the effort within the isometric community I may have been promoted to senior as many of my friends on here have been. I guess thats hind-sight for you though, right now I would be happy with a subscription but in light of student finances that's not going to happen for a while now.

Anyway enough of that babbling, I am currently writing this at Helens, during this years Cardiff devmeet. It has been an amazing experience and reminded me of how close the deviantart community is and how great a time we all have during these meets. I have a ton of photos to upload, which I may do later tonight once I get home.
