Adios Clash Royale, Welcome Loco

So, after multiple deletes and reinstates to goals and promises, we finally deleted Clash Royale. After we reached the Legendary Arena, of course - we are no wimps. We battled the algorithm, curbed our instincts and did everything. It was tough saying no to Clash Royale. The mind doesn't take stop contracts very well said my trainer.

But we managed. This in in my mind is the end of Clash Royale in our devices.

In the meantime, we learnt about this new app called Loco. And Loco has a simple premise.

Ten quiz questions, live, 10 seconds per question and its a survival game. If you get all 10 answers right progressively, you win - real money. If you miss a step, you get eliminated. But, if you get friends to install the game and use your code - you can lives (one per game) and continue upto question 9 - at 10 - there no life.

For what it is worth, we started playing and won a little bit of money (think sub-hundred).

Now this is the start contract to rival CRs stop contract. The more we play loco, the less we want to play CR.

More about the psychology and the effect of Loco soon...

The power of jotting down ideas

 Long long ago, I always used to carry a small letterpad with me. To jot down ideas that might occur. Over the years, it has changed from a notepad to evernote to google keep, but the power of jotting down ideas is immense.  Small ideas go into keep.  Anything to be quickly typed goes into whatsapp as a self message.  Bigger or better formed ideas go into Google docs A few are still written, but I manage to copy them into a digital format sooner rather than later.  But the power of jotting down is immense. My google keep is an encyclopedia of ideas - most of which may never get implemented.

And the unconference happened

 Most conferences have an agenda. No, not the stated agenda, but an agenda of marketing, airtime to sponsors, ensuring the past and future customers are invited, of ensuring that the "stars" of the industry are invited and attention showered of them. All in all it is a your scratch my back, I scratch your back syndrome. Some of these become cliques and claques and therefore the real point behind a conference is lost. And then there is the unconference - organised and run by the alumni of the ISABS ODCP program. And as the name suggests, this is truly an un-conference organised by the alumni, for the alumni. No funders - except the alumni themselves. No sponsors. Just the team.  I havent seen a more tastefully organised conference (yes, its an unconference).  To begin with - the location - not a typical star hotel, but an outdoorsy place. The food - simple. The welcome - personal. It was like a homecoming. The setting was warm and welcoming. It was a smaller conference. Ju...

No conferences

Decided not to attend any conferences this year. Atleast not the typical ones I have often ranted about here. Will be both choosy and intentional about which ones to attend.  The ones to attend are the ones put up by practitioners of a craft. The rest is marketing one way or other.
