Who said you cant do useful stuff at the Congress? While we were there Flo was checking out his powerbook and the installed os, Mac OS X.4. He wasnt satisfied with a lot of stuff, and so was I. In general you can say that a lot of configuration options are simply missing from critical [...]
As we are approaching the final day of this congress there is a little looking back and summarizing to do for me. Since there is still one day left this isnt final, ill probably do another examination later on. To begin with, i wanna point out this blog-entry where some crucial things that went wrong [...]
So, this is gonna be a somewhat longer entry, i hope. See, the problem with the Congress is that you see/hear/read so much, want to do and try so much and finally end up forgetting 90% of what you wanted to do. Short-term memory loss at its best. We spent the night on today in [...]
Yes, the forecast was accurate. We have about 10cm of fresh snow here, and it doesnt look like stopping at the moment. I just woke up from a somewhat uncomfortable night in the Hackcenter, and still didnt have breakfast, so thats my priority right now ;). I hope I wont forget to watch some lectures [...]
Yeaye! I didnt think it would happen, but when i checked half an hour someone had really returned my wallet to the Lost and Found counter. It had been found outside the congress center, the money of course gone. Funny, the thief even took the 1-dollar note which was there purely for decorational purposes. Anyway, [...]
Congress is coming along pretty good so far. But there is a downside. About 5 hours ago my wallet was stolen (well, i suppose it was since i went the 50m back where i could have left it and it wasnt there). Yes, it happened inside the BCC, and no, it wasnt checked in at [...]
The second day has just begun in terms of the congress schedule. I feel really confident that i will see a few lectures today, which is partly because im really fit again thanks to almost 12 hours sleep in a real bed with real sheets. It might also be because i got to shower this [...]
So, finally we arrived after about 6 hours of driving. Flo fell asleep for the last hour or so, but i woke him up early enough to enjoy some highlights of Berlin at night. We started in meors at about 6 pm, took a little detour right at the beginning (damn you A45) but then [...]
So, replaced the Strauss Greatest Waltzes and Polkas with something more “adequate”, i.e. the Hackers OST ;). I told myself that i have to get into the congress fever tonight, since the last few days have been quite relaxed and very christmas-y. I think some of that stuffed turkey is still spinning in my tummy. [...]
So kommts mir manchmal vor wenn ich wieder hier bin. Zum Glueck. Bin am Donnerstag endlich mal wieder nach hause gekommen. Da merkt man schon den Unterschied, wenn die Autobahn ploetzlich bergig wird, die einzigen Lichtquellen die entgegenkommenden Autos sind und das OBI Zeichen orange ueber den Baumwipfel glimmt. Morgens aufstehen, merken dass das Fenster [...]
