Love the distinction between real world and camp world. I remember writing a blog post (one of my first) about a similar dichotomy after hearing Ernest W Adams (also with a Guildford connection, I notice) giving an excellent talk about games development. Would be good to see sessions about How Can I Find a Safe Cycling/Walking/Public Transport Route as well as where can I park my car. After five carless years, I bought a car for work purposes, but I find I rarely use it and the stress levels of finding a car parking space in town means that I go for the bus and taxi-if-necessary option far more often. I was interested in a discussion once where participants assumed that owning a car offered more choice and more options, everyone was very puzzled at my query, "but does it?".
Thanks for sharing, interesting and thought-provoking. Only sorry that I have mistimed when my vote contributes a meagre reward.
