The main points of the talk for me were:
Stop Caring
Stop caring about past projects
Stop caring about possible future aims
Stop caring about it being perfect, it never will be
If you love it let it go
Be generous with your ideas
Collect them constantly. Don’t be left with one thing to hold onto.
Make it. Then forget it. “The past is over.”
Spread your motivation over a short amount of time. Find people who inspire you. Keep making.
Stop Having Any Ambition
Ambition means you’re not happy yet
Ambition means you’re looking at everyone else
Let go of your dreams
Forget the “and then”. Don’t even think about whats next.
Stop making claims
To yourself
To your employer (on CV’s)
Let others make up their mind, claiming slows you down.
Make “things” not “statements of intent”
All supplementary writing=distance.
Something that exists is always better than something that doesn’t (except unicorns)
Barriers to fast making
Worrying about what may happen
Thinking you’ll never have a good idea again
Thinking it has to be successful
Describing instead of doing (CV’s, About Me)
Solutions
Play pointlessly
Detach from all goals
Make partial things
Make regularly, make fast. The faster you are the more you can make.

Brewdog via the third Equity For Punks scheme. I’d always missed the deadline previously so was pleased to get in early this time.
Beerbods raised funding via CrowdCube reaching a £150,00 investment in record time.
Both are small investments as a way to keep informed of the inside story of these companies at an interesting time for the British beer industry.

A great session on Open Data with Nottingham City Council. Appropriately open in their discussion with the developer community as to the best way to progress. An interesting project to extend their data past the already superb Nottingham Insight project. Follow @nottsopendata for more updates. It’s inspired me to take another look at CartoDB which is a great mapping playground with some amazing recent projects on their blog.
Interesting retrospective on the running of GeekUp Nottingham. It sounds as though its struggling with usual Nottingham meetup problem – “where the hell is everyone!”
Great night, great community, great future. If you’re a Nottingham techie you should be part of it!
