The life of a CA Copenhagen Campus Connection

Sunday Oct 05, 2008

Oh my - what a week! I am completely exhausted - but at the same time I feel hyper active and on top of that I caught the "Eee fever".

Its been a week of conferences and hard work and way too little sleep.

Wedensday I went to JAOO in Århus, where I was at Suns exhibition booth along with Thorbiörn Fritzon. I had the priviledge of meeting Guy Steele and watching him and Richard P. Gabriel give their very artistic keynote "50 in 50" - a tribute to programming languages.

Thursday I was back in Copenhagen running double time since it was the day before the Open Source Days conference and I had organized for Steve McKinty from the Open High Availability/Geo-team to give a talk on Open High Availability at the IT-University of Copenhagen in the afternoon. Steve gave me a REALLY nice present for this - a bran new bag filled with cool stuff!

Friday and Saturday it was time for Open Source Days 2008, where I gave a talk on SunSPOTs entitled "Computing beyond the keyboard, mouse and screen". About 50 people attended my talk and I think it turned out pretty good despite the fact that I was very nervous. :-)

At the end of the conference GratisDNS gave away a bran new Eee 901 and I had also put my business card in their jar to participate in the draw - as the very LAST person. Peter Larsen from GratisDNS had stirred around in the jar right before Dan Klein chose the winner - nevertheless - it was my business card that got drawn!!! I thought it was a joke when Peter first meantioned my name - but it wasn't - I had won the Eee :-) I usually never win anything, so I am pretty excited about my new black Eee 901! You might say I caught the Eee fever like everybody else at the conference ;-)

I even found a really cool blog entry about - how to run OpenSolaris 2008.05 on the Eee .....
