It’s been oppressively hot in my apartment. I open up the window to cool down but they have been doing work on the facade of the building so I inevitably wake up to find the storm windows have been placed down to avoid debris and dust coming into my apartment. I wouldn’t mind so much if they would replace the screen after they were done. I have no idea how to do it from the inside as the tops of my windows seem to be painted shut. So I sweat it out.

Got Through Half of my D-Bus Slides for LinuxTag/FUDCon II

It has been easier than I thought it would be though I had to wait until the sun went down a bit so I could think straight. I’ll finish up tomorrow or on the plane. Yep, it is back to Germany this Wednesday night. Only a 3 hour stopover in London so no romp this time around.

Plans are to get to Munich around noon on Thursday, locker my bags off at the main train station then walk two stops to hook up with the 4:00 Mike’s bike tour. I will then be meeting up with one of my best friends who works for the European Space Agency or one of their contractors. He was the drummer in my High School band and I have known him since grade school. For the weekend we might end up in Vienna or Prague; two places I didn’t get to go to when I was living in London, but always wanted to go to.

Monday after that it is go into work day at the Munich office and help out setting up the LinuxTag booth stuff. Then it is an early morning train to Karlsruhe on Tuesday. Hope to see some GNOME and Free Desktop people there.

Things I Need to Get Done Before I Leave

  • Find my plane tickets - I swear I left them in the FedEx envelope on my desk before I left for GUADEC
  • Make a new release of D-Bus - Havoc, can you take a look at my updated patches so I can merge them before I do the release?
  • Clean and fill my Camel pack - I found out the hard way that Germany has a thing against necessary liquids and will gladly charge you more per ounce of water than they will for beer
