No major disasters in sight

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

I think the talk went quite well. Some of the interested folks didn’t show up, which is understandable, when we remember their merry state at the party last night (don’t worry, I still love you :)) - besides, we had a quite interesting talk with Jeff and Glynn about this at the famous ice cream […]

We just Rock! :-)

We are pretty awesome group of people!

Ice cream, revisited..

Monday, June 26th, 2006

So turns out my little advertisement was quite effective on both planet gnome and planet maemo.. behold the powers of teh interweb!

I also went to see Alex’s talk about GimmieBar and his ideas about integrating stuff together were very interesting, very much aligned of what I am going to talk about in the […]

Go Gnome!

Monday, June 26th, 2006

The official GUADEC has started! It’s times like this when it’s easy to see how awesome community we have.. Unfortunately there is no xml-rpc protocol for a group hug in planet gnome

On another topic, the ice cream shop guy looked very very happy with a big grin last night.. Looks like we created […]

(or anyone else loving good ice cream, of course ;))

There’s this pretty awesome ice cream bar called “Tutti Frutti” not far from the guadec location. Lots of variety. Lots.
Heh, I need to rework my categories for this blog - I end up “categorizing” depending on what planet feed I want the post to go into.. […]

Cafe Americano

Those of us like me - who never learned spanish - might find this food dictionary site very  very useful at dinner time at guadec - especially if one is equipped with a Nokia 770 or some other mobile internet device (if you don’t mind the perhaps unwanted extra geek ‘appeal’ ;-))

Guadec time

Saturday, June 24th, 2006

We arrived yesterday, after a slightly delayed flight (”technical reason”) from Helsinki. Arriving at Barcelona airport we took a taxi to the place. We successfully used maemo mapper to find our accommodation as the driver was not familiar with Vilanova i la Geltrú. “Ah, GPS.. perfecto!”
Today is the warmup time, meeting people and trying […]

Learning to deb

Monday, June 19th, 2006

So I’m sitting at the University of Helsinki CS department again, been a while

This time it’s a Debian packaging school organized by Lars Wirzenius - I figured this will be an useful skill to learn since I deal with themes, icons etc that also need to be packaged..

Mugshot and such

Thursday, June 8th, 2006

I think I see the point now. Took a while to get over that “WTF? Redhat? Web services? Social networking and ajax?” -thingy, but in a way this is not much different from what I have been thinking about a lot lately as well.
There’s a lot more software these days than what’s we used to […]
