funky, funky. Saw some Debian, saw some audio, hung out with people, grabbed some lunch with tridge and andrew bartlett (and someone else who SORRY, i’ve forgotten your name), <\/p>\n

ran into Linus, said hi, minded each others laptops while running errands and heard a *very* funny story about why he got here late. Basically, he ended up sitting in a plane, for an hour and a half, while it wouldn’t start. It so wouldn’t start that the lights were out. Not only the lights, but the emergency lights as well. Funny, very funny.<\/p>\n

grabbed coffee with andrew cowie instead of some of the later day sessions, and had some good chatting.<\/p>\n

then came back, chatted, joked and found out that our theories about rusty running for LA ctte were pretty much spot on (although he would be great, he could also have time constraints), then he went in search of a local (instead of finding himself, who although left here 7 years ago, knew more than anyone else of us standing around). Then headed down to a pub’s ‘beer garden’ – otherwise probably known as the beer green house (it was noticably warmer than anywhere else, and a place i would *not* want to be when it was actuallly hot) and had a few drinks.<\/p>\n

large table of us, had fun, exchanged funny stories and discussions about file systems (including hearing the permissions on linux and linus dialling his hard disk story from the man himself), discussions on phase trees and why they may be rather cool (and possibly not patent encumbered), reiser, success\/failure stories and all sorts of other things.<\/p>\n

then, went got thai food. nice, more chatting, and all was good. then a significantly smaller group of us headed to the pub (again). Bdale promises to join later in the week, when not jetlagged. :)<\/p>\n

back in room now, blogging. hrrrm… probably not making much sense – should blog at times other than after midnight and after many beers.<\/p>\n

Check out my Photos from today! (12 Jan)<\/a>. Not only that, but there’s photos from somebody else as well! wow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
