ICT Fiesta 2010

The Sabah Computer Society (SCS) is organising the ICT Fiesta on 26 November - 28 November 2010. If you visit their website, you will see that there is an additional contest for this weekend (Count The Number of ICT Fiesta banners in Kota Kinabalu).

The event was being held at The Likas Sport Complex - Multi Purpose Hall.

On the way in, I saw that Microsoft was trying to "reform" the pirates. Buying a GENUINE copy of Windows 7 will entitle you to a "Dip and Win" contest. Hoo Hoo.

Did you know that the stepped seating in the hall (used for watching the badminton games) could be re-stacked this way?

According to the SCS website, there were 91 booths.

Looking at the white lines on the floor (badminton court markings), I remembered, while playing badminton here a long, long, time ago, the hall personnel telling us off if we wore normal shoes onto the court surface (I supposed there was a danger of making black marks on the polished floor). So why was this fair allowed in the badminton hall without some kind of carpeting on the court floor?

I didn't really have anything I wanted to buy here, so I walked around looking for the slightly unusual. There was a chance to WIN A PS3!

The highest scorer at Guitar Hero 5 (I saw that FIFA soccer was the other contest) would win.

The highest score so far (noted at 2.50pm) was 1,394,664. So the button-mashers (who think they are guitarists) can all have a go.

I was pleased to see we had the Sabah Open Source Group. It seemed to be promoting Linux.

They seemed to be giving away free copies of Linux.
