October 4th and 5th saw the 2012 edition of what is in my opinion the best IT conference in Bulgaria – DevReach . While the price tag of €110 (with Super Early Bird discount) is somewhat high for Bulgarian standards it is definitely worth it. The organizers provided plenty of different drinks and food in the coffee breaks and there were coupons for lunch. The conference was held in the halls of Arena cinema in Mladost, Sofia so the screens the sessions were projected on were really large and the seats were very comfortable as they were intended for watching movies. There were booths for several sponsors with some games where people could win prizes ranging from stress balls to iPads and HTC 8X smartphone. This conference also has the greatest amount of world-renowned speakers of any Bulgarian conference though I definitely prefer many local speakers to some of the overrated celebrities. During breaks tweets with the #devreach tag were displayed on the screens which provoked people to tweet about the conference even more...

   На 22 и 23 септември се проведе второто издание на "фестивала за градска култура" On! Fest. Изглежда всичко тази година беше една идея по-голямо и по-добро. Нещата не бяха безпроблемни, но така е при растежа.

   Happy Programmers' Day to everyone whose job is to move bytes around or just does it for fun. Programmers' Day has no fixed date and is celebrated on the 256th day of the year. After this day programmers need to fall back to something similar to UTF-8 and store each day in two bytes. This year is leap so Programmers' Day falls on 12th of September instead of 13th of September.

   So how are you going to celebrate?
