WTF?!?

If you're not watching the live CodeCon stream, you just missed zooko hack a laptop to pieces with yoctohedron's axe.

Yes, really. It was a little bit hard to tell exactly what happened in the 320x240 window, and the sound was off, but apparently zooko now owes yoctohedron a new axe.

I think this might actually beat out "isolating DNA with common household items" as most surprising CodeCon demo ever. I note also that yoctohedron had a support role in both...

I couldn't help thinking... Oh I hope it wasn't a mac :-)

It was a bit hard to tell -- it wasn't in the spotlight, and the resolution on the stream wasn't that good. But it was very obviously an axe!

The organizer of the conference came running into the room obviously startled and shouted "What the fuck was that?" and the manager of the venue yelled "It was just a Windows box" to which the organizer of the conference responded "Oh. Carry on."

It makes up for the time that Zooko brought his baby instead of his laptop to CodeCon, and his demo was 45 minutes of gcc output...

It was just a windows box :-)

Hee hee :-)
