Sorry about the delay, my stay in Copenhagen was busy and exhausting, both of which are not very conducive to coherent writing. I will post my report of Reboot as a series of posts in the course of this week. Today part one.

I had booked Reboot blindly because my experience from the previous year had been so positive. I expected it to be a mixture between the new and the old. Getting new ideas and concepts by talking to interesting new people but also getting in touch again with the familiar faces from the previous year.

I flew into Copenhagen on Wednesday with my plane landing around five and the Preboot drinks starting in Kongens Have at six. Seeing as I had to check into my hostel first, this made for a tight schedule. I’m glad I was still a bit familiar with Copenhagen so I could find my way around easily. Like last year I was joined at Sleep in Heaven by a couple of other Rebooters.

This year’s Reboot also coincided with a major change in my life. My activities in various spheres on- and offline had dropped to near zero while I was busy graduating and I have only just begun taking them up again.

After having finally graduated in March, everything is more or less up in the air. I have started reorienting myself but I’m not in too much of a hurry. Reboot looked like it should be a nice break and a good place to refocus on what I should do next.

I had thought I would be less busy after graduating, that however proved to be false. Seeing as I still have to finish a course at university, wrap some stuff up at my graduation, do the odd web development gig, help Tipit.to make true on its promise and pursue my diverse passtimes of writing, photography and sports, I keep busy.

This mix also made the default question asked during a conference ‘What do you do?’ a bit hard to answer. I usually defaulted to Web Developer which is the easiest to explain and understand.

The Preboot drinks pretty much confirmed my feelings. In a very relaxed atmosphere in the park, preliminary introductions were made, hands were shaken and interesting conversations had. Seeing all those known faces and friendly words, was like taking a warm bath.

After some drinking, the evening ended with everybody finding a nice place to eat in town. I turned in early to be fresh for the first day of Reboot of course!
