No not yet.
But I did go to a networking event for ux designers hoping to meet people because I need new friends and because I really want to really understand if this is something for me.
A woman to my left was answering in one word sentences and clearly did not want to talk, especially after it became clear that I would not offer her a job. A guy on my right was furiously typing emails on his iPhone and definitely did not want to talk.
I did have a pleasant enough conversation after with a Finnish programmer here on a 3 month stint and looking for friends, and a slighty more extroverted entrepreneur from Dubai. I got the Finnish guy’s email and will share some very stale tips from the time when I still knew of things to do in the city.
The presentations were pretty great though – especially from the very awesome design director at Meetup.com, @palebluejen.
