I've got a good feeling about this.

I have to admit that I was worried about what I had gotten myself in for when I signed up for Blitzweekend, but its gone far better than I expected it would. For a first run event, it has gone remarkably smoothly and those few rough parts I've observed aren't really worthy of mention.

I'm in a team of ... oops. Just got stopped by a representative from a large accounting firm wondering if we'll need their services...

As I was saying, I'm in a small team. Just three people, but we seem to have hit upon a winning project. There has been a LOT of interest generated by it, and a large number of the experts here seem very keen on the idea.

I can't say if we'll win the programming contest, as I don't really know what other folks will be showing, but I'm feeling good about this. The presentations and judging don't start for another hour, but we're ready. We could put in some last minute embellishments, but we've decided to stop where we are so we don't risk breaking anything before the demo.

In any case, win or lose, we're likely to be talking to some VCs down the road. Its way too soon to tell for sure yet, but I just may have ended up with a job out of this weekend of coding. Even so, it could be a few months before any money shows up. The VCs may want to jump on it, or they could delay for ages. Only time will tell.
