Yes, that’s right folks, tomorrow I get to go home. I’m currently sat in the lounge on site, trusting that at some point the power’s going to come back on and bring the wi-fi back with it. Had some fun yesterday repatching composite cables in the big top yesterday. Someone had managed to lose the …

Momentum
We’re now into Momentum, which is the conference for students and young adults. Yesterday was the first day and we had the worst rain I’ve seen in a number of years. It was actually cascading through the roof of the big tent and a number of venues (as well as people’s tents) were flooded out. …

GIF is now Cif (not really)
Jakub blogged about a relatively unknown feature of the GIF standard that allows the use of local palettes. You can add the ‘Blazer’ browser on PalmOS to the list of browsers that have a funky ZX Spectrum style loading effect for that sort of GIF. With reference to Joe, how long until SoaP is confused …

Minor Christian Celebrity?
(This was originally prepared on my Palm yesterday, but it turns out life’s just too short to try blogging on a PDA…) I’m blogging this backstage at the last night of Soul Survivor B and I just had a very weird experience. A guy from SS New Zealand told me that one of the team …

Friday
Final day of Soul Survivor B, Momentum starts tomorrow. Beagle 0.2.8 is out and I’ve added it to my Build Service repo. At some point I’m sure it’ll start to build and I can start to figure out which patches have been folded into the main tree. Welcome to Planet SUSE, Martin and Will. Oh …

Cool things
Cool thing for today: Using your Palm to SSH to your home server because your laptop is otherwise engaged. Next step is to install an FTP client on it so I can blog from it too

Soul Survivor
That’s where I am, where I’ve been since Wednesday. We went down to Amanda’s parents’ on Tuesday and then up to site the following day. The event’s going well – about 10,000 people at Week A and even more booked in for Week B (which starts tomorrow) apparently. CTP started hairily (that’s not a real …

With reference to my previous entry, I often get emails when I post screenshot type things asking what the icons on my panel are, so from left to right in that short, you can see: Beagle search Tomboy notes Gaim Screen resolution changer Mail Notification GNOME Power Manager NetworkManager Volume Control Connect to a remote …

Old age
Look at the date in this image:I’m 30! I’m officially old. Going out for a meal with a few people connected with college tonight. Had a few more songs sent through for the conferences, they’re all now set up in Presenter. We head down to Somerset tomorrow for the events. Planning to add the latest …
