Some notes on my #indieweb experience.

Grrr..  Too many Googlers with too much time on their hands.  Where do they find the time?

It hurts east bay since these guys take their farm yields back with them on the shuttle and cause trouble..

[AAR] Operation: All your GOOG belong to SMURF!

Executive Summary:  Operation commenced at 1255 PST (2055 GMT) 17 Jan 2013.  A team of 9xL8 "Some Modestly Under-inventory Resistance Fighters" (SMURF) Agents executed a successful  "flashmob" build of 7xL8 Portals on the GOOG Mountain View campus.  SMURF Agents present were able to Hack-Farm to full Burn-Out in approximately 30-45 minutes Mission-Elapsed Time (MET).

Mission Cover Objective: How awesome would it be to drop a L8 Portal farm in the midst of perhaps the most highly-churned Ingress Portal area on the entire planet? 

Reference: http://goo.gl/h1DsC

Primary Mission Objective: Have a Freakin’ UNreal (FUN) time. 

Agents Present (9xL8):  josh, gosha, lipko, TheCurmudgeon, sleepy, MrAnalytical, tanzanite, raptor, scootle

Reference: Pre-operation planning/mission map procured by SMURF josh and initial L8 Portal deployment confirmation.  Area of Operation (AO) outlined in red attached.

[Special Advisory:  Given minimal prior operational notification, strict pre-operational blackout conditions, and short mission duration parameters, no viable damage-assessment imagery of the Global Intel map with 7xL8 Portals intact are available... SMURF Agent assets fully engaged with Mission Objectives.... Request additional AO surveillance resources via NianticOps.]

Mission Timeline:

1255 PST - SMURF advance element completes AO sweep and assessment of field objectives.

1300 PST - Mission execution order issue and confirmation by deployed field SMURF Agents.

1315 PST - initial Hack of fully-powered L8 SMURF Portal

1317 PST - 9x L8 SMURF Agents commence dispersed Hack-Farm Operations

1342 PST - initial SMURF Agents begin Ex-Fil after successful Burn-Out

1355 PST - initial field report of hostile Booger Agent Reaction Force (BARF) assault on B1225 Portal cluster (3x)

~2x SMURF Agents immediately initiate Attack-Containment (AC) by inducing BARF XM-deficit.  Defense-Control (DC) provided via Deploy-Defense (DD) Procedure #36 on B1225 farm core

Field surveillance of BARF reveals 2x Booger Agents designated Alpha and Beta

Additional 2x SMURF Agents arrive on-scene to initiate Cheesy-Conversational-Countermeasure Protocol (CCCP) on BARF (i.e. Inquire regarding general consensus about current meteorological conditions, local recreational competitive activity results, state of domestic welfare, offers for battery containment and/or signal assistance, etc.)

Remaining operational SMURF Agents continue Hack-Farm Op concurrent w/ AC/DC 36DD and CCCP Ops

~1400 PST - initial B1225 Portal cluster destroyed beyond defensible threshold due to insurmountable XM-deficit.  AC/DC and 36DD terminated.

BARF Oscar-Mike and executes scissor-maneuver to the North (Alpha) and West (Beta).

CCCP Team unable to maintain lock on Booger Beta.  2x SMURF Agents maintain positive CCCP lock on Booger Alpha

~1404 PST - collateral XMP damage to “1200 Charleston Fountain” by Booger Alpha degrades hack output levels below acceptable threshold (L6).  2x SMURF Agents escape BARF detection in final attempt to complete Hack-Farm Op at “Three Yellow Umbrellas.  Burn-Out is confirmed.

“Three Yellow Umbrellas” Portal degrades within the next 10 minutes.

~1408 PST - Booger Beta successfully disables “Water Fountain” (West) and is Oscar-Mike to final “Wooden Archway”

~1411 PST - Booger Beta successfully disables “Wooden Archway”

~1415 PST - 1x SMURF Agent successfully transitions CCCP to Useful-intel Gathering/Hospitality (UGH) Op, 1x SMURF Agent initiates emergency Ex-Fil

1x addditional SMURF Agent provides UGH cover before initiating high-stealth Ex-Fil 

8xL8 SMURF agents confirm successful Ex-Fil from AO with zero casualties

~1500 PST - UGH  is terminated and remaining 1x SMURF Agent Ex-Fil is successful via Big Motorized Wheels (BMW)

1515 -  Operation Complete... remote SMURF Debrief commences

Net SMURF L8 Inventory Assessment:  Positive

Mission Cover Objective Assessment: TRIUMPH

Primary Mission Objective Assessment: HUGE SUCCESS

Special kudos to SMURF josh for the pre-planning effort:   CAKE

Strategic Assessment:

Found lots of fall colors and conquerable  #ingress  portals in Contra Costa County today.

Yes, I too have been playing  #ingress .  It's amazing.  You must check it out.

It really feels like one of those pivotal shifts in the way we interact with our technology.  We finally see what happens when console-quality graphics, fast networks, and huge amounts of data combine.

Add to that creativity, storytelling, great gameplay and air of mystery.  This yields a highly addictive game you can spend hours and hours playing, discovering, and communicating with new people.

No invites yet, but you can request one at the site.  (Though if I do get some they're going to people who join the beleaguered  #enlightenment  in Minnesota!)

Results of our November Infrastructure Sprint planning.  Total of 75 points in our backlog for the next 18 days.  This planning process feels a little awkward at first, but then it just clicks and seems natural.
