Day Zero

So after church this morning it was a quick dash home to grab the suitcases and head for the airport. Virgin Blue got us to Canberra, along with 10 or so other South Aussies who were on the same flight. Penguin t-shirts and laptops were dead give-aways. As was the Sunray someone carried in hand luggage!!!

Next to me was Tim Ansell, another conference speaker, with seat allocation entirely by chance. sjh was kind enough to pick the both of us up from the airport - the last thing I expected the lead organiser to be doing :-) He was nice enough to pre-register the both of us too.

Off to University House, dump the gear, then to Manning Clark to chat with some of the team and then back with 7 or so hackers to Woodstock pizza bar - for tales of eating live octopii, discussions on whether Buenos Aires was the future haven of free software hackers and other miscellania. Good stuff. Back to Uni House for this blog entry in the library using a Windows PC (*sigh*) and then back to the room for connectionless hacking before sleep and the big day tomorrow.
