Drinks are expensive. Coffee is bad, but the people are nice! Rocking wonderful to be here at last. Finally a chance to meet people.
Living at the GUADEC house I have seen a few very nice talks, Nat is inspiring, but I was a bit worried that he considered it a good thing to alienate some developers. Attended the QA BOF and had a very giving discussion, hope to get CVS builds running for Gentoo again soon.
Now to find a picture of myself :)
okay, I'm leaving in the morning, arriving in kristiansand in late evening. YEY. Loaded the laptop with some movies and music. hopefully enough ;)
Now just to see if I can concentrate too.

AAAAAGGGGHHHHHH
Lets paint a scenario here:
Today is Friday, midsummernights eve here. Public holiday, things are closed.
Tomorrow is Saturday, Midsummerday : public holiday, everything is closed.
The day after is Sunday, Things are closed.
I'm going to Norway on sunday.
My VISA has been blocked due to some purchase on the German ferry (dunno what, can't find out, due to above mentioned holidays)
My money is firmly lodged on my account, and I can use my internet bank. Cool. Then what? Nothing. I can get cash (SEK) from a friend by transferring between accounts and withdrawing them. Cool.
The exchange office is closed here until Monday.
The Excahnge office in Oslo is closed until Monday.
Then I'm stuck with SEK, and no way to change it nor my Czech money into NOK. I guess I can pay an outrageous fee to get SEK as NOK in kristiansand on Monday...
AAAGH! This is FSCKING Annoying!
No, not a new version of Cybersex, but back home. Checking email (darn SA + procmail got slow, had to disable pyzor, razor and a few other checks to get my bulky mail downloaded. Does anyone know how to paralellize fetchmail + procmail setups ? )
found out my Visa is blocked. This is -bad- news as its a public holiday here all until I leave == no new card == no cash withdrawals for GUADEC. DAMMIT!
So, Now I'm going to try to transfer enough funds over and hope I'll be safe... Agh! I hate this!
Signing off in a stressful manner.
Tickets : done
Packing: Awaiting
Living: done
Money: erm?
okay, leaving for prague in something of 30 hours, then I'll have another 30 hours between I get back and I leave for GVADEC. Stressy.. But Fun!
