The LRL 2007 Experience, Part X.X
by Mez on Jul.17, 2007, under Personal
Yes that’s right, once again, procrastination, strange work schedules and lack of sleep have made me forget to actually finish writing my blog posts on LRL2007.
I’ll get there eventually… I think
The LRL 2007 Experience, Part 0.5

No, I’m not going to have a part 2.0
Couple of quotes from tonight.
“Only at LUGRadio Live would you find someone doing a Linux install at 9pm in a pub”
“and then putting the CD back in a holster he has attached to his trousers”
Guess who was doing the install …
Then Dave2 arrived, and the conversation switched to well, goatse., and then to Tubgirl
“What’s Tubgirl”
“you’ve never seen tubgirl”
“no”
“Ok guys, get your cameras out for a reaction shot”
*fiddling with Mobile Internet ensues*
“Ok, ready? 1… 2… 3…”
“What the **** is going on there” … “oh, actually, she’s kinda hot”
Only at LUGRadio
The LRL 2007 Experience, Part 0

So, yes, a lot of things have forced my hand, and I now have to be in Wolverhampton tonight, at the pub, to try and find an overnight home for 2 Laptops
Hopefully it wont be that hard to do!
Other than that, i’ve got to say, I love the FLOSS community just for the simple fact that so far I’ve had three people offer me a lift. Well, I’m still stuck on who I’ll be taking it off, trying to whizz round and organise everything, but one way or another, I’ll be there tomorrow @ 9.
That’s if I don’t pass out from alcohol poisoning tonight.
I must say, someone remind me tonight to take the piss out of whatever Aq decides to drink, just for comparing me to his granny last year
(and that winky was for Jono!)
If you read this, come say hi to me at some point. I’ll probably be wearing a nametag tomorrow, but, to be fair,you’re probably reading this through one or another of the planets, and they all have Gotchi’s
I may look strange, but I’ll be recognisable.

Yes, that’s right, I’ll be at LRL2007, giving away a bunch of Kubuntu CDs, and hopefully *crosses fingers* demoing it for people if I can find a spare laptop or two (The person who was meant to be supplying the laptops for this let me down!)
See you there!
You know you’ve been working too long when …

You ask for more info on a bug that you reported in the first place
I’m very tired, and I really can’t remember reporting that bug, AND I can’t reproduce it.
In other news, Katapult 0.3.2.1 has been released after months of headaches trying to work out why it wouldn’t build in a pbuild. Maybe if I hadn’t been making it use one file from debian’s libtool, and one from KDE’s … It’s been a day for headaches is all I can say, I had to make two releases, as after I made the first, I only THEN found out that google had changed their URL syntax, rendering one of the new plugins useless.
I think I need a beer now.
And I must say, I was rather surprised that Gentoo got there first for including the new version of Katapult. Kudos to them for it, Debian came a close second… now just to wait to put in a sync request to Ubuntu.
