See you in the Secret Garden
July 19th 2015 / Comments Off on See you in the Secret Garden
Over 2000 years ago, Marcus Tullius Cicero said "If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need."
That sounds about right to us, and so for the next This Happened, we are very happy to be downing tools and heading outdoors for another fantastic talk series in one of Bristol's lesser known green spaces.
When: Thursday 30 July 2015, 7 – 9.30pm
Where: Secret garden location in Bristol city centre
Tickets: £5 thbrs.eventbrite.co.uk
Stuart Wood – Founder/Director of rAndom International
Stuart is a founder of rAndom International and directs the artistic implementation of technology within the studio. Random International create artworks and installations that explore behaviour, reaction and intuition in relation to natural phenomena and the human form. The studio responds to recent developments in cognitive science and new media by creating works that encourage an active relationship between people and their surrounding environments, making the viewers' participation fundamental. @stuart_rAndom
Vanessa Harden – Creative Partner at Wild Flag Studios
Vanessa Harden designs unique experiences that are based around the interaction between people, spaces and objects. She is a creative partner at Wild Flag Studios, a collective of artists and designers that engage with interventions, interactive installations, public sculpture and film. Their projects include the design and build of the "Liquid Alchemy Machine" for the launch of Baileys' Chocolat Luxe as well as "QUEERCOY," a public intervention for WorldPride's human rights campaign. @vanessaharden
David McGoran – Co-Director of Rusty Squid
David is a dancer, robotic engineer, designer, puppeteer, researcher and artist. He is co-director and founding member of Rusty Squid, a Bristol based company that creates robotic objects and environments that engage the public's somatic emotions. Strongly influenced by his background in dance, movement analysis and puppetry, David goes back to first principles of how movement is generated through novel actuators and mechanisms explicitly designed to explore the embodied and the paralinguistic. @davidmcgoran
Annette Mees – Artist, director
Annette is a maker of adventures. Until recently Annette was one of the runners/co-directors of interactive theatre company, Coney. Annette just completed a tour of Early Days (of a better nation), in which the audience find themselves part of a country bruised and battered by war and rebellion, and are invited to decide what is next for their fledgling nation. Now moving on to new escapades, Annette is secretly trying to change the world. @AnnetteMees

A view from the top of Colston Tower
June 13th 2015 / Comments Off on A view from the top of Colston Tower
On 30 April 2015 we were joined by four fantastic speakers and an audience of over 70 designers, UX professionals, creatives and the interested and interesting people of Bristol and beyond. We came together to hear stories of interaction design from the 14th floor of the iconic Colston Tower.
First up, was artist Di Mainstone speaking about Human Harp, a project that will transform Clifton Suspension Bridge into a musical instrument, controlled by the movement of your body:
Next, Creative Technologist for Uniform, Martin Skelly shared FlipDot, a beautiful internet of things analogue display board, drawing live weather data from the Met Office:
On arrival and again during the interval, we got to have a chat with sponsors Bristol and Bath by Design, and were treated to a beer from the fantastic Wild Beer Co, a local brewer who carefully design unusual, imaginative and distinctive beers.
We also got to have a close up look at four precious objects, brought to the event by the four speakers to give us tangible examples of what they do and what they care about.
L to R: Masquerade mask by Zaha Hadid Architects, FlipDot by Uniform, Gromit Unleashed statuettes by Aardman Animations and Bridge bow by Di Mainstone.
After the break, as the sun set and the city lights flickered on, Melodie Leung, Associate at Zaha Hadid Architects discussed the company's approach to interior and object-oriented design:
And finally, we were treated to a fantastic talk by Gavin Strange, senior designer at Aardman Animation who took us on a whirlwind tour of the Gromit Unleashed project that seemed to transform the city during the summer of 2013:
We finished off the night with a lovely bottle of Millionaire from Wild Beer Co, plenty more chats and soaked up the stunning views from our host building, the erstwhile inaccessible Colston Tower, and went out separate ways.
If you'd like to see some of the photos of the event, taken by brilliant Studio photographer Holly Mitchell, and perhaps add your own, visit flickr.com/groups/thishappenedbrs
To add a small note on behalf of the organisers, this was the first event that Tom, Molly and myself had pulled together as the new producers of This Happened Bristol and we blown away by how great it felt to do something like this, somewhere like that, with amazing people like those of you who came along to find out what it was all about. It was an unmitigated pleasure and we're already working on a summer event.
See you next time!
Co-producer – This Happened Bristol
This Happened Bristol would like to thank Colston Tower, Resolution Property, Bristol and Bath by Design and The Wild Beer Co, for making 'Top of Colston Tower' possible, to the brilliant Jack Lilley for making the films and to Holly Mitchell for being our photographer.

January 15th 2015 / Comments Off on Announcing This happened – Utrecht #22
It is 2015, and we are back for another Utrecht edition of This Happened. In about two weeks, you are welcome to listen to four great speakers who will share their 10-minute 'making-of' stories with you. And even better, you are in charge of the second 10 minutes, where they will answer your questions. So come well prepared!
When: Monday february 2nd, doors open at 19.30
Where: HKU Akademietheater in Utrecht
How much: Buy tickets for 4 euros* at our trusted yled system.
This is the lineup:
- Daniel Disselkoen: How graduation projects can explode into full-blown projects: the Cucalu App challenges you to re-view your surroundings. Having the eye of the artist, is there's an app for that?
- Daan Brinkmann on PaintR: Robotics and the art museum: if you took a day-trip to the Kröller-Müller Museum you may have seen a drawing-robot driving around, eagerly turning streets and parkways into pointilistic paintings.
- Next Train NL: Designing for the next generation of smartwatches is a whole new field with many restrictions on resources and attention. Tjeerd Ytsma, designer at Hoog + Diep, built the first app to plan your train travel on the Pebble smartwatch.
- Eline Muijres on Bounden, a smart phone game that seduces you to dance elegant ballet moves. The project poses a challenge for both the players of the game, and for the choreographer, who can normally instruct dancers by example or with words. Dancing like a professional: there's an app for that too?
More info on all the talks can be found on the event page.
Our registration is open now! Get your tickets using PayPal or credit card for only €4,- per person*. You are welcome to get more than one ticket, if you want to bring your friends.

Let's kick off the new year together with This happened Rotterdam #5 at WORM! On Monday January 12th 2015 we are proud to present you an evening of fascinating projects to enjoy and discuss:
Harm van de Ven, designer and programmer @ media collective Zesbaans, will talk about Waterwerk an installation which invites visitors to a recreational swimming pool to swim and play video games at the same time.
Marcel van Heist, one of the partners of Afdeling Buitengewone Zaken, will talk about the Rural Spark Energy Kit and how they used their 'hidden design' method to develop it. This kit allows villagers to become Local Energy Suppliers who generate, use and sell energy.
Martijn van der Heijden & Bart Bergmeijer (Fabrique) will talk about veiliginternetten.nl. When Fabrique received the briefing for veiliginternetten.nl, they agreed on an experimental approach: develop a concept, set up a working prototype and a user test within three days, with content only. 'Content first design' sounds good, but what happend when you take this literally?
Mike van Gaasbeek (WORM) will talk about Superglue. The open source Superglue tools allow you to create a website without any knowledge of code and host it on a mini personal server from the privacy of your own home.

September 11th 2013 / Comments Off on Announcing Rotterdam #2
After a lovely and packed first edition of This happened in Rotterdam, we are extremely excited to announce an action-packed second event in the evening of Thursday, September 26, 2013. The event will again take place in WORM in collaboration with Designplatform Rotterdam.
What do we mean with action-packed lineup, you may ask? Well let me introduce them:
A car you can drive on a regular highway that can instantly transform into a real flying gyrocopter! Robert Barnhoorn – director of Spark Design & Innovation – will talk about the development, the struggles, the bureaucracy of a dream: the PAL-V, a flying car or roadable aircraft.
A suitcase containing 3d printed, laser cut and other open source materials that makes you turn any object into a drone! Jasper van Loenen will talk about Drone it Yourself (DIY), his graduation project at the Piet Zwart Institute. Imagine taking his suitcase outside, connect four motors and a control unit with custom clamps to any object you see fit and send it up in the air.
A solar powered waiting point for teens waiting for each other to cycle to school! To communicate the advantages of a cycle road that generates solar energy, Emma Heitbrink gave some of that energy back in the morning to high school students to provide them with a special custom experience as they wait for each other before driving to school.
A concert hall that recombines parts of an Airbus and materials from Tropicana to host great events! The audience gets a nesting doll/droste effect/déjà vu experience, when Césare Peeren explains how the room you are in was actually made by superusing existing materials.
That's action-packed. We hope to see you at the Boomgaardstraat 71 two weeks from now: Thursday, September 26 at 20:00. Registration and more information is at:
Beat back to school blues with our autumn Bristol event

Interactive fragrance and digital brilliance in theatrical historical splendour:
Autumn is just around the corner, so how better to beat the back to school feeling than with some This Happened Bristol fun? We are back on September 26th in another amazing new venue, the Empire Theatre in Old Market.
This Happened Bristol, 6.30pm, Thursday, 26 September 2013, Empire Theatre, Tickets £5 plus fee. Book now.
We will post more details in the next few days but with two incredible speakers confirmed so far, we would suggest snapping up some tickets quick:
Dan Efergan, Creative Director of Digital at Aardman Animations: In early 2010 Aardman, Fallon & The Tate set about on an ambitious project to inspire the nation's kids into helping them create a short animated film. Tate Movie Project utilised a plethora of platforms to make a truly symbiotic campaign, intertwining a huge digital community, online tools, live events all into an ongoing real production. It was beautiful and mental and wonderful and chaotic. Dan tells how they turned the many into one.
Lizzie Ostrom, aka Odette De Toilette, has a passion for all things perfume. Her mission is to create wonderful experiences around fragrance and the sense of smell. She has spoken at The Wellcome Collection, The International Fragrance Association, The British Society of Perfumers, Stylus, The Future Laboratory, The Natural History Museum, The Body Shop, Coty, Salon London, Harrogate International Festivals, the Tate. For This Happened Bristol she will share a recent piece of work translating between art and fragrance, with a bit of interactive, nose-based fun.
As ever, This Happened Bristol does not make a profit. All ticket funding goes to reimbursing speakers for their travel. You can book your tickets over at eventbrite now.

Won't you join us on the 8th of september! The This Happened – Utrecht team is proud to bring you four awesome speakers who will show you the making of of their wicked projects.
The Speakers
Marrije Schaake is a well known spider in Utrecht's digital web. She will talk about a project that once a year explodes with use: onzelootjes.nl. The service allows you to exchange presents during Sinterklaas or Christmas.
Rick Companje has had a busy year: his Doodle 3D project, which turns childrens drawings into 3D printed objects, took off on kickstarter.com. How did he design the app? Are children an obvious target audience for tablets apps?
Mieke Meijer will tell us about an interesting collaboration with Peugeot, in which an unexpected material was used in a futuristic conceptcar's interior design: old newspapers.
Finally, Manuel Kerssemakers from Abbeygames will tell us about the making of Reus, an innovative god-game involving four giant… giants.
As always each speaker will have 10 minutes to present the making of of their project, followed by 10 minutes for questions from the audience.
You can read more about the speakers and their projects on the event page. Tickets will become available there on the 26th of august at 14:00h.

Another titillating event is coming your way on the 24th of June! The This Happened – Utrecht team is proud to bring you four awesome speakers who will show you the making of of their wicked projects.

Jennemie Stoelhorst will talk about the classroom game Slag om Dondervoort in which you relive the 80-year war. Next up is SETUP's Heinze Havinga, who organised a very successful programming contest which resulted in 38 beautiful re-creations of Mondrian's famous Victory Boogie Woogie painting. Last but not least IceMobile will tell us all you ever wanted to know about Appie, the famous-in-Holland smartphone app which helps you remember your groceries.. and so much more.
As always each speaker will have 10 minutes to present the making of of their project, followed by 10 minutes for questions from the audience.

This happened London is back
May 27th 2013 / Comments Off on This happened London is back
Hi All,
We are pleased to announce This Happened London has started back up! It will remain a free event thanks to the V&A's continued support.
This Happened started in London in 2007 by Chris O'Shea, Joel Gethin Lewis and Andreas Müller. They wanted to create their ideal event, looking at process and how interaction projects actually get made. The London event has become very popular, with tickets being booked up within seconds. We are very happy that the format has spread to other cities such as Edinburgh, Utrecht, Limerick & Hong Kong.
From 2011 the London event was organised by Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino, Russell Davies and Ben Hammersley. They stepped down in 2012 due to work commitments.
The next This Happened London will be on Friday 21st of June 2013.
Doors opening at 6:30pm. Talks kicking off at 7pm prompt, with drinks from 9pm afterwards in the Sackler Centre. Put it in your diaries, tickets will go on sale 2 weeks before.
Our lovely new organisers are…
We will announce the speakers shortly!
This Happened Bristol May 2013 – a little bit of magic
April 30th 2013 / Comments Off on This Happened Bristol May 2013 – a little bit of magic
Hello all,
After a bit of a break to re-group, This Happened Bristol is back, bringing a bit of magic and sparkle to spring.
Our fifth event is on the 28th May at the beautiful Mauretania Bar and Lounge, the doors open at 6.30pm. We have a limited number of tickets so please do book early. Tickets are £5 plus fee.
As always, the event will bring together three great speakers focusing on the stories behind interaction design. Our confirmed speakers are:
Keiron Kirkland: Making magic
If you want to know how tricks are done, Kieron will explain, among other things, why asking a magician "how did you do that?" is the least useful question you could possibly ask.
He'll explore what goes on in the mind of a magician when inventing a trick, how it goes way behind technique and is possibly one of the oldest processes of interaction design out there. It'll include everything from playing with grand technological narratives to picking out the alpha male of a group.
Oh and he might find time to do some mind blowing magic as well. Just to prove he's not a charlatan.
Michelle Palmer: Flaming Lotus
Michelle Palmer is part of Flaming Lotus, an eclectic group of Artists, welders, computer programmers, biotech researchers and cafe barristas. They produce some of the most striking of the pieces out at Burning Man and around the rest of the world. Michelle will be talking to us about making Serpent Mother, a 168ft long interactive stainless steel serpent with 41 flame effects along the spine which are entirely controlled by the audience. First shown at Burning Man in 2006, she has been since shown in Las Vegas, San Francisco and Robodock technology festival in Amsterdam. She is testament to what is possible when collaboration happens.
Ben Templeton: Magic Tate Ball
Tate challenged Thought Den to democratise art for the smartphone masses. Taking inspiration from the iconic Magic 8 Ball, they created a digital toy that uses GPS location, time of day, date, weather and ambient noise to select an artwork from the Tate collection relevant to that moment of your life. Available for both iPhone and Nokia Ovi, Magic Tate Ball is yours to shake, what artwork will this moment make?
The Venue
As ever, we rely on the generosity of friendly venues to give us a home. So thanks to the Mauretania for their support. Drinks will be available throughout the evening, so please demonstrate your gratitude at the bar.

best wishes,
Tom Burton, Tom Mitchell and Clare Reddington

Announcing Rotterdam #1
March 26th 2013 / Comments Off on Announcing Rotterdam #1
This is really happening… After Utrecht and Amsterdam, we are now bringing This happened to Rotterdam! Curated by Piem Wirtz, Pieter Diepenmaat and Ianus Keller, in collaboration with the Designplatform Rotterdam and Worm, we will kick off our talks about the making of… in the city best known for making ideas happen. We hope to see you all on Thursday, April 11 at the Boomgaardstraat 71.
We just finished our lineup with a nice mix of makers. Perceptor (also known for Untime) will talk about the development of the, Dutch Design Award nominated, MENDO website. Kristi Kuusk will talk about her research project with textile and augmented reality in Bedtime Stories. Pinar Temiz will talk about her sound installation [I am] Floating in a room. Finally, Mattijs Kneppers will return to talk about ShowSync, an innovative lighting and video concept for live shows.
Isn't that just awesome? Registration and more information about the speakers and their projects is at:
If you need more excuses to travel to Rotterdam (aside from visiting Hand Made at Boijmans, getting some Gaultier and Pastoe at Kunsthal), the event nicely coincides with the Internet of Things Days from April 9th-12th.
Announcing Amsterdam #5: 18 March 2013
February 20th 2013 / Comments Off on Announcing Amsterdam #5: 18 March 2013
We have another great lineup for the 5th Amsterdam This Happened, which will take place on Monday March 18th, 2013.:
Monobanda – designers of interactive experiences for surprising locations – will talk about "Light on Wood", a light installation on top of a centuries old boat in the Centraal Museum in Utrecht. The installation responds to visitors with stories of light and sound.
Dieter vandoren
Integration.04 is a live performance by Dieter Vandoren. His instrument projects light and sound structures in a fog-filled space, immersing both him and the audience in it. He manipulates the ephemeral audiovisual shapes as if they were tangible materials, taking cues from the interaction between the human body and an acoustical instrument. The abstract digital processes are thus projected into physical, experiential space. Playing – and witnessing – it becomes a strong embodied experience.
This Happened Amsterdam #5 will feature a special live performance of Integration.04!
Happiness (Brussels)
To promote EOS magazine, a Belgian magazine specialized in science, ecology and technology, Happiness Brussels came up with a campaign that bundles these three domains in an interactive way. We decided to make a tree talk, in Brussels, and let the whole world know what it has to say. You can follow the Talking Tree on Twitter, Facebook, and many more.
Nacho (for Wieden+Kennedy / Coca Cola)
Nacho will talk about what he learned in the making process of Coca-Cola Sitelets. A digital project developed in collaboration with Random for Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam.

Announcing the 13th and final Utrecht edition
March 2nd 2012 / Comments Off on Announcing the 13th and final Utrecht edition
Right on the heels of a wonderful first Amsterdam edition, we're pleased to announce the next This happened – Utrecht. Our thirteenth edition takes place on Friday, March 30.
This is a special edition for us for several reasons:
- One is that we are kindly hosted by Tweetakt Festival, for whom Kars has curated a number of games that are on display at the festival pavilion, minutes walk from our venue. Several of this edition's talks will be about those.
- The other reason is that we have decided to stop organizing This happened in Utrecht. So this will be our final edition. It's been a wonderful ride, we hope you'll join us to close it off in style. (Stay tuned for news on the future of This happened in Amsterdam.)
Adriaan de Jongh on Fingle as our first confirmed speaker, more will be announced soon. Check the event page for further details.
First event in Bristol
February 28th 2012 / Comments Off on First event in Bristol
Well we got there in the end our first event is on and we are all excited, we have some great speakers and a superb venue. We think this could be the start of something special.
This Happened Bristol is a series of events focusing on the stories behind interaction design. This first event is on the 20th of March at the Milk Thistle, the doors open at 18.30pm. We have a limited number of tickets so please do book early; http://thishappenedbrs-march20-2012.eventbrite.com/
The event will bring together 4 speakers: robotics researcher Adam Spiers, Sam Hoey of architectural/art practice Jason Bruges, Music technologist Sarah Nicholls and Michelin-starred chef Josh Eggleton of the Pony and Trap.
It is about interaction design, with a focus on work that uses a new approach or explores a new process. It is about the process of design & development, from the very beginning of a project to the end.
Presenters can only talk about one project that has already happened, there will be no portfolio showing.
Adam Spiers
Robotic flowers in the dark
'The Question' was an interactive and immersive pitch-black theatre experience designed to provide a similar, unusual reality for blind and sighted audiences. As part of this, I was asked to design an intuitive personal navigation device that would encourage audience exploration and provide reassurance, while only communicating only through the sense of touch.
Sam Hoey
Mimosa – Mimicking Plant Behaviour
How Jason Bruges Studio brought technology to life in this interactive installation.
Originally commissioned for Superstudio Milan 2010, Mimosa is a captivating interactive installation featuring Philips Lumiblade OLEDs. The piece was inspired by the Mimosa family of plants, which respond kinetically as a result of being touched.
The studio used the slim form and warm light qualities of the OLEDs to create a responsive surface of delicate light petals. Groups of 5 OLEDs form mechatronic flowers which open and close, dim and glow in response to the viewers movement above the surface.
The presentation will chart the project process from initial briefing and conception through prototyping, testing and development to the installation in Milan and subsequent developments…
Sarah Nicolls
Interacting with the piano – ways to expand and re-form the performance environment
Sarah Nicolls is a classically-trained pianist with years of performing experience as a soloist in contemporary music. Gradually moving into electronics and collaborative composition, she began in 2005 to seek out systems with which to expand the pianists' performance environment. In this talk she will discuss two projects undertaken during this time: a piece created using body-worn sensors that detect muscle tension and her Inside-Out piano, built to answer a major structural limitation of the traditional piano. Giving the perspective of the performer, she hopes to reveal the motivation, discoveries and remaining questions in each case.

We're slowly but surely working to get our backlog of talk videos online. Number ten was kind of special for us, not only because it was, you know, our tenth edition, but also because we were lucky enough to have This happened founder Chris O'Shea over to present Hand From Above. The other talks were by Arne Boon & Mathijs Konings, Matthias Oostrik and Yuri Suzuki (who previously talked about Sound Chaser at London #5. Most of the work discussed that night was simultaneously shown at the playful expo of the 2011 Tweetakt festival, who were also kind enough to sponsor this edition.
Hanging out with Bernie DeKoven

In preparation for This happened – Utrecht #12 at the Playgrounds Festival in Tilburg we had a very nice serendipitous encounter with fun theorist and author Bernie DeKoven on Google+ hangout. I asked him if he was willing to say something to our audience (keeping up our tradition of guest appearances) and he more than willingly accepted with a personal message and a short version of his keynote presentation he gave at the 2011 DIGRA Think Design Play. Unfortunately we were unable to fully show it at the event itself, but we did promise to put it online for later enjoyment. So here's the screen recording of the hangout:

Today is the launch of the new website for This happened. Whilst it may not look so different from the previous site, there have been various visual tweeks, but all of the work has gone on behind the scenes. The last website was made up of static files, but the new website has a content management system. Every city now has their own login to be able to edit content and create events. There is also a new blog, where each city can keep us up to date with any news.
More features will be added to the site soon, such as browsing talks by tag or searches. In the meantime, don't forget to subscribe & let us know what you think in the comments.

Report on London #9
June 8th 2011 / Comments Off on Report on London #9
This report was written by Camilla Grey of Moving Brands, originally posted on their blog here. Many thanks!
Last night, MB's Design Director (and original wearer of the Three Wolf Moon t-shirt) Campbell Orme spoke at London's latest This Happened event in Whitechapel. Also speaking was James Wheare, creator of TwitShift – a bot which allows you to follow yourself on Twitter from a year ago. James admitted that the service was a unique form of navel gazing, but argued that Twitter is fairly self-absorbed anyway. He explained that users were able to see how far they'd come since last year, and recognize patterns in their own behavior and movements. I particularly liked the idea of people @replying to themselves and even unfollowing themselves. To paraphrase Groucho Marx, "I wouldn't want to be part of any Twitter feed that includes me as a member".
Campbell was up next, talking us through the process which led to the creation of a unique animation style even Jeremy Paxman couldn't get his head around. Splicing animating, 3D characters then swiping the images through space on an iPad and recording them on a long-exposure resulted in an ephemeral stop-motion animation. The project, executed by Campbell while he was at BERG with the team there and Timo Arnall, aimed to encapsulate Dentsu's concept of Making Future Magic. Of the learning curve surrounding the project, Campbell observed that "Sometimes we learned something on a Monday, which we'd use on a Tuesday. And sometimes we'd learn something on a Thursday we wish we'd known on the Tuesday". Such is the fate of anyone striving to break boundaries through creativity, experimenting and, as Campbell termed it, "weirdy tech".
The final speaker of the evening was Tom Taylor. Most widely known as CTO of The Newspaper Club, Tom's talk was about his learnings and insights from failed photo community game, Noticings. His story about the dramatic growth and demise of interest – both from his users and himself – resonated strongly for me with regards to the Moving Brands' "Brand For London pitch". Tom's surprise that "if you invite the Internet, they will come" mirrored the incredible response we experienced two Summers ago. As did the quick descent into feedback monitoring and troubleshooting, which goes hand in hand with any form of community organization. Tom shared four key learnings, ones which we too could have been mindful of,
1. Work out how to deal with everyone turning up
2. Work out how to keep experimenting and having fun
3. Not get new jobs in the middle of it
4. Turn things off properly
A huge part of being creative is to never avoid the opportunity to try things. As each speaker proved, giving things a go, even if they fail, is the only route to innovation.
New organisers of This happened London
April 20th 2011 / Comments Off on New organisers of This happened London
This happened started in London in 2007 by Chris O'Shea, Joel Gethin Lewis and Andreas Müller. We wanted to start our ideal event that would cater to our interest as designers and practitioners, looking at process, how interaction projects actually get made. The London event has become very popular, with tickets being booked up within seconds. We are very happy that the format has spread to other cities such as Edinburgh, Utrecht, Limerick & Hong Kong.
Unfortunately we organised the events in our spare time, so as things started to get bigger, we found it difficult to concentrate on the event and put effort into the growth and global community of This happened at the same time. So as of 2011, the three founder will resign from organising the This happened London events.
From here forwards we will put our energy into managing the 'foundation' of This happened, its future directions, the online community and assisting others in starting the event in their cities. Hopefully this focus will allow This happened to grow into something much larger, more open and across the world.
This means that the London event is now organised by these lovely people…
Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino, Russell Davies and Ben Hammersley. Welcome! We are proud to have you on-board and excited to come to your events in the future.
In February we all had a breakfast together at the Shepherdess Cafe to hand over the reins and our contacts. The new organisers are busy with their plans for the next event, so keep your eyes here.
Please note that London has its own Twitter account now, so follow @thishappenedlon for updates. The @this_happened account will be used for global news.

King-Size Homer
"King-Size Homer" is the seventh episode of The Simpsons' seventh season. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on November 5, 1995. In the episode, Homer despises the nuclear plant's new exercise program, and decides to gain 61 pounds (28 kg) in order to claim a disability and work at home. Homer soon begins to experience the negative aspects of being obese, and his life starts falling apart.
The episode was written by Dan Greaney and directed by Jim Reardon. Joan Kenley makes her second of three guest appearances on The Simpsons in the episode as the voice of the telephone lady. It features cultural references to world's heaviest twins, the 1993 film What's Eating Gilbert Grape, and the soft drink Tab. Since airing, the episode has received positive reviews from fans and television critics, and Empire named it the best episode of the show. It acquired a Nielsen rating of 10.0, and was the third highest rated show on the Fox network that week.
Mr. Burns organizes a morning calisthenics program at the nuclear power plant, much to everyone's delight but to the dismay of Homer (the only worker who hates doing five minutes of light aerobic exercise). After learning that someone who is disabled can work from home, and thus be excluded from the exercise program, Homer tries to find a way to achieve this goal. Homer soon discovers that any employee that weighs 300 pounds (136 kg) or more qualifies as disabled, and so he decides to gain the 61 pounds he needs to reach 300. He begins eating excessively, despite Marge and Lisa's repeated warnings that he could seriously endanger his health. With Bart's help, Homer soon reaches his goal, and Mr. Burns installs a stay-at-home work terminal in the Simpson house.
Homer is given simple responsibilities but he still neglects his responsibilities as a safety inspector by simply typing "yes" every time the system prompts him. He also discovers he can no longer fit in his clothes, and he takes up wearing a muumuu as a result. Looking for shortcuts, he leaves his terminal, with a drinking bird to press the Y key to indicate "yes" on the keyboard and goes out to see a film. Refused admission because of his size, Homer is angered after the cinema manager and other members of the public tease him about his appearances. He immediately leaves, claiming that he is not food crazy and that overweight people are as hardworking as anyone else. Returning home, he discovers in his absence that the nodding drinking bird fell over and that a nuclear meltdown is about to take place at the plant unless the system is manually shut down. As he is unable to prevent it via the computer and unable to phone the plant and warn them because his fingers have become too fat to dial properly, Homer tries to run, skateboard, and drive to the plant, all of which fail as a result of his obesity. He eventually gets to the plant by stealing an ice cream truck. Homer arrives at the power plant and climbs up to reach the manual shutdown button, but ends up accidentally falling onto the gas store, blocking the release tube with the oversized lower half of his body and thus preventing the explosion. As a reward for turning the "potential Chernobyl" into a "mere Three Mile Island", Mr. Burns gives Homer a medal and guarantees that he will make Homer thin once more after he gets decontaminated from the tank. But when Homer could not even do one sit-up in their first work-out session, Mr. Burns reluctantly decides to simply pay for liposuction instead, much to Homer's delight.
"King-Size Homer" was written by Dan Greaney, and directed by Jim Reardon. It was the first episode Greaney wrote for The Simpsons. Prior to this episode he was working as a lawyer and was contemplating moving to Kiev, Ukraine, to work for a start-up company. He said that this episode "saved" him from doing so.[2] Greaney pitched some ideas to the writing staff, but none of them were any good, so then-show runner Bill Oakley gave him the idea for this episode.[2] Oakley had Greaney come to Hollywood to write it, and when Greaney showed the first draft to the staff, they liked it, so Oakley hired him.[2]
The writers wanted the title of the episode to make Homer sound proud about his weight, so they decided to name it "King-Size Homer".[3] Greaney really enjoyed working on the episode because Homer is constantly happy and goal oriented in it, instead of being a slob and "eating all the time".[2] The Simpsons animator David Silverman designed the fat Homer for the episode.[4] There was a discussion about what Homer would wear when he became fat, and they decided to go with a muumuu dress.[3] The writers were also discussing about how they were going to treat Homer's fatness. They did not want Homer to come off as a "hog", so they decided that the viewer should barely see him eating after he reaches his 300 pounds goal.[2] As the writers were trying to figure out a way to get Homer back to his old weight by the end of the episode, someone suggested that Homer should feel bad about his obesity, and therefore become thin for Marge, but that idea was scrapped in early production.[2] Action figurines based on fat Homer were made for the World of Springfield series shortly after the episode had aired.[5]
Homer has a dream in which he is standing at the foot of a mountain with 300 pounds as the goal at the top. A pig wearing a tuxedo appears next to him in the dream, and motivates Homer to reach the top of the mountain. Homer takes a bite of the pig's arm, and runs up the mountain. This scene was inspired by the cover of the "Sweetness and Light" issue of the National Lampoon magazine.[2] The staff thought that Cary Grant would have been the ideal for the pig in Homer's dream sequence, but he died nine years before the episode was made, so they used cast member Hank Azaria for that voice.[2] Joan Kenley guest starred in the episode as the telephone lady who tells Homer: "The fingers you have used to dial are too fat. To obtain a special dialing wand, please mash the keypad with your palm now."[1] The staff flew her down from Northern California to record her part for the episode.[6]
Cultural references[edit]
While Homer is in the clothes store, as the camera pans with him, two mannequins wearing similar outfits and riding on bikes are shown. These are based on Billy and Benny McCrary, the world's heaviest twins who weighed over 700 pounds (318 kg) each. They received fame after appearing in the The Guinness Book of World Records in a picture that depicts the twins riding their Honda motorcycles. Also Homer operates an Apple Lisa as his stay-at-home work terminal when the Apple Lisa was discontinued in 1986. They would appear again in the same season in the episode "The Day the Violence Died".[3] The scene in which Bart and his friends observe the obese Homer through a window is based on a scene from the 1993 film What's Eating Gilbert Grape.[7]
Homer thinks that he can order the soft drink Tab by pressing the tab key on the keyboard.[3] When Homer vents gas from a nuclear reactor, the gas destroys crops of corn. A farmer looks and says, "Oh no, the corn! Paul Newman's gonna have ma' legs broke!" This is in reference to the legend of Newman's Own popcorn products, in which Newman threatened anyone who might attempt to steal his popcorn.[5] At the cinema, Homer tries to watch the film Honk If You're Horny, starring actor Pauly Shore and actress Faye Dunaway.[7]
In its original American broadcast, "King-Size Homer" finished 45th (tied with Grace Under Fire) in the ratings for the week of October 30 to November 3, 1995, with a Nielsen rating of 10.0.[8] The episode was the third highest rated show on the Fox network that week.[8]
Since airing, the episode has received mostly positive reviews from fans and television critics. In 2008, Empire placed The Simpsons at the top of their list of "The 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time", and noted "King-Size Homer" as the show's best episode, calling it "An unimprovable mix of sharp dialogue, hilarious sight gags and heart."[9] Kimberly Potts of AOL Television named the episode the seventh best episode of the show,[10] while Michael Moran of The Times ranked it as the tenth best.[11] "King-Size Homer" appeared on The Star-Ledger's list of the ten best episodes on The Simpsons that represent the comic and emotional scope of the show.[12] The Herald Sun put the episode at ninth place on their list of the top twenty episodes of The Simpsons, and highlighted the scene in which Homer is seen "commandeering an ice cream truck in a frantic dash to the nuclear plant to avoid an impending meltdown".[13] Todd VanDerWerff of Slant Magazine named the episode the show's fifth best, stating "while there are a lot of funny jokes in this episode (including Homer's fingers that are too fat to dial), the best thing about it is the sight of Homer, weighing well over 300 pounds, dressed in a muumuu and a 'fat guy hat.' The climax is a little forced and cartoon-y...but Homer's weight gain works so well visually that the episode gets away with a lot more than it might."[14]
Dave Foster of DVD Times said: "The glee to which [Homer] takes to the challenge and the enthusiasm which Bart brings to the project show these two really do connect when the situation is oh so wrong, and the method in which the writers tackle the not-always-so-obvious downsides to such a disability are both adult and astutely amusing."[15] Jennifer Malkowski of DVD Verdict considered the best part of the episode to be during Homer's shopping trip to The Vast Waistband. The website concluded its review by giving the episode a grade of A.[16] DVD Movie Guide's Colin Jacobson enjoyed the episode and called it "one of the series' more cynical episodes", and said that it "pours on the laughs". He continued by saying, "It's amusing to see Homer's pursuit of obesity, and it exploits his idiocy well. It lacks the expected mushiness about the plight of fat folks, though it does make a point about sensitivity in an understated way."[17] Despite the numerous laughs at Homer's appearance from the staff of The Simpsons on the DVD audio commentary for the episode, the authors of the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide, Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, wrote: "this isn't one of the best episodes. Homer's at his most irritating and childish here—you really want Marge to beat him up." They added that Homer's antics with the computer, such as the scene in which he tries to find the any key, and Mr. Burns running exercise classes are the highlights of the episode.[7]
Nick Offerman has cited this as his favorite Simpsons episode.[18]

Definición de barque en inglés:
- The latest vessel to confirm its involvement is the 295-feet long Eagle, a three-masted sailing barque with 21,350 square feet of sail and five miles of rigging.
- The difference between a barque and a ship is the way the aftmost mast is rigged.
- The sea reflected our good fortune in hues of glassy green, turquoise and cobalt blue and into this unearthly vision we quietly launched our sailing barque.
- The lesser barques and rowboats that move about in the background are those of Religion.
- The barked torrent of words flowed over me: a cataract of verbiage with unknown phrases sticking up like sharp rocks to confound the frail barque of my self-confidence and perhaps overwhelm it.
- Bishop Peter J. Lee had for many years been viewed as a moderate, tilting to this side or that in order to keep his little barque afloat.
Middle English: from Old French, probably from Provençal barca, from late Latin barca 'ship's boat'.
bark from Old English:
Dogs have always barked, so it is not surprising that bark is a prehistoric word. If someone's bark is worse than their bite they are not as ferocious as they appear. To bark at the moon meaning 'to make a fuss with no effect', is first recorded in the 17th century. To bark up the wrong tree is from 19th-century America. People have been barking or barking mad since the 1930s. The bark of a tree is possibly related to the name of the birch tree (Old English). Bark or barque (Middle English) is also an old-fashioned word for a boat from Latin barca 'ship's boat', from which we get embark (mid 16th century).
Palabras que riman con barquearc, ark, Bach, bark, Braque, Clark, clerk, dark, embark, hark, impark, Iraq, Ladakh, Lamarck, lark, macaque, marc, mark, marque, narc, nark, Newark, park, quark, sark, shark, snark, spark, stark, Vlach

I had an update of the kernel today among some other updates to make it up to date.
It is on Fedora 8.
I now have 2 very serious problems.
1- xscreensaver can no longer be stopped the normal way.
killall -9 xscreensaver is the only way. I changed it to gnome-screensaver
which I hate to clear the problem. To say that I am not very happy with this
is saying it mildly. There is also no way to get back to the previous kernel.
The one I had before (188.8.131.52-10) is no longer entirely available at livna.
To revert back to the previous stuff I need the ATI driver which are is not
available for that version.
If it is not the kernel the problem I wonder if anyone has had the same problem
and is aware of a solution.
2- The worst of the problems. I have no network connection unless I run startx.
This means that if my xwindows interfaces becomes invalid I have no way to connect
on the net. Anyone has a solution for that?
I don't recall ever having that problem before. It looks like Fedora is getting
more and more buggy. I always thought the software updates were to fix problems,
not to screw up a system, this is not windows here.

The only thing I can recommend is that you look at the bptm logs
(assuming you have them turned on) for a media server that fails the
monthly because of a lack of media. You should be able to see it
search for available media and that should help point you in the
direction to find out why it is failing for the montlys only. I can
think of no earthly reason why it would work for some jobs and not
