daily / sane2006

Yesterday evening I attended the Open Source Bazaar at SANE2006 in a lovely jetlag-induced haze. The bazaar was held in Delft and I got there by train.

The difference between Utrecht CS and Melbourne's Spencer Street Southern Cross Station is quite amazing. One tries to be a European-style train station, the other is one. The main difference is that the real thing (though smaller) looks like it moves about ten times as many passengers, but does it far more efficiently.

Anyway, I only missed one train (I will not run in order to catch one) and got to Delft at around 18:00.

Ubuntu StandThe Ubuntu stand at the bazaar was fairly obvious. Located right across from the main stairway, people walked right into it as they arrived. A few of us had set up laptops, to show off shiny things like Beagle, F-Spot, Xgl, and OpenOffice.

Attendance in general wasn't as high as I'd expected, but then again, most main conference attendees would have been in sessions from the early hours and they were undoubtedly more interested in having beers elsewhere (or perhaps a pancake and a smoke or a crèpe and a bong).

Open Source BazaarStill, it was certainly not deserted :-) I managed to completely miss a BOF on open source in education, which may have had some interesting info that we could have used for the Victoria Curriculum Matrix that Donna is working on. I did, however, manage to rip an ISO of the DVD that accompanies their booklet. A localised version of TheOpenCD, but with far more stuff on it I guess. (Creative Commons, ripping is allowed :-)

Dapper Drake SSD MediaA world premiere was the distribution of Ubuntu 6.06 LTS "Dapper Drake" secure solid state installation media. (Pictured to the right) TMM had brought a small amount of them, which we handed out to some attendees. I suppose they won't be too useful until more PCs start shipping with a quantum unified adapter code key (QUACK) interface for these, but hey, at least they look nice.

Last but not least, a heartfelt thankyou to Nico Veenkamp, who graciously offered a bunch of us a lift back to Utrecht/Amsersfoort, which meant we got where we were going faster, more comfortable and (importantly!) drier than we would otherwise have :-)

daily / arrival

Around every two minutes a boat comes wooshing past on the Amsterdam-Rijn Kanaal, not 50 metres from where I'm sitting. I can just see them, through the flowering trees right in front of the window.

Amsterdam-Rijn KanaalAaah, spring is in the (warm) air :-)

parked on the right there is our little silver rental Ibiza. It took us from Frankfurt to Holland yesterday, in just over three hours of flat-footed Autobahn fun. That was a bit quicker than expected, but it happily made up for the three hour delay we had coming in to Frankfurt to begin with, because...

...our plane ran out of petrol ;-) Due to severe weather near Calcutta, we had to take a 1000km detour, which left us with only enough fuel to get to Hamburg. A bunch of bemused ground staff and excited airplane spotters ('t was the "City of Brisbane, guys) kept and eye on the refueling proceedings.

I'm about to pack up and get ready to go to SANE2006 in Delft. Showing off Ubuntu and generally hanging about pretending to be a sysadmin/bofh.

daily / old shit

I just went through an archived directory on an old server and found a couple of old websites I used to have. One may or may not be useful to VB *cough* coders, so I thought I'd just put them all back up.
