OMSI: "Choose Your Own Adventure: Code in the Museum! <http://friendola.com>
This talk will provide a behind-the-scenes look at making software for
interactive exhibits in a science museum. Did you tune out at the word
"software?" Well, come back. This will be a participatory, Choose Your Own
Adventure event, complete with all the suspense and high-stakes drama
you've come to expect from the CYOA empire. What tools will you use for the
job? What jobs will you be asked to do? What crucial systems will
malfunction? What diabolical bugs will surface? How will you harness the
power of serial communication? What even IS serial communication? There's
only one way to find out. Don't worry if you haven't got a lick of
technical knowledge. Come and find out how my biggest job fear went from
"What if they ask me to do something I don't know how to do?" to "What if
they don't?"
I have been the software developer at OMSI since late 2010. Besides
interactive exhibits and web development, I'm most fond of data
visualization, generative art, and Ruby. Past jobs have included fireworks
seller, ranch cook, laundromat attendant, traveling software consultant,
pizza cutter, brain researcher, and bookstore clerk, among others. I have a
B.A. in biology and an M.F.A. in science & natural history filmmaking. When
not writing code, I like to make wild horse pudding, wear oversized
hoodies, and imagine new projects.
