But real HackNY, for me personally, is hack at work for 9-10 hours, then hack with fellows on personal projects for 2 hours or go to a talk with an established person in the tech industry, rinse and repeat.
If you want an factual diary of the day, I can write one for you, but as it's a lot of coding and networking, you would probably find it dry.
Also this is hackernews so I'm not sure the readers here would find coding and networking "dry".

I feel cheated.
