Put your hands up for the tripes!

I love this city! (Tu-de-de-de-tu-tu-tuTu-de-de-de-tu-tu-tu)

Awesome (fist pump!) picture of Aya Sophia and the Blue Mosque at sunset coming soon. Tourists haven't had their breakfasts yet, so they're not in any piccies.

Stormy for GNOME!

As Luis mentioned, congrats to Stormy for getting the GNOME Foundation gig, and well done to the Foundation for hiring such a great person.

What Luis didn't mention is that we know for a fact that a few people have a crush on Stormy. You know where to send the hush-money.

LIRC setup! (now in Fedora)

If you have an infra-red remote control, you can now use gnome-lirc-properties, available in Fedora Rawhide. There were quite a few changes and upstream fixes required to make it work, which makes this change blog-worthy.





Thanks to Murray and Mathias for the help getting the changes in upstream.

Attention FreeFA Players!

Tomorrow, outside the Uni main entrance, at 4 o'clock. A bus will be waiting, don't forget to bring your stuff!

PS: I bribed Dieguito, and Micke is on my team. We're gonna rock!

Finally recognised!

People still don't understand that I never show up in Red Hat's new UK offices, which is why that little piece of plastic was left for a long while on a desk that I don't occupy: I got my nice little 5-year award today! And I won't have to wait for 5 years for the 10-year on as it will actually be 6 years in September. Wicked!

More than a game: GUADEC FreeFA tourney!

The FreeFA tournament will take place again this year, on Tuesday 8th July. We still have room for a couple of people. Seems like keeping it low-key wasn't enough to get it under-subscribed.

Diego will soon be taking care of setting up the teams. There might be some room left for a couple of people to join, in case we get late cancellations, so please add your name and contacts to the wiki page if you're interested.

Everything sucks

Anyone that says it's just a game is a cunt. Excuse my French.

Link for the uninformed.

PS: I'm so miserable that an Irishman bought me a drink without expecting anything in return, and a Turk gave me back my change for a kebab despite me offering it to him. And the Turk agrees with me on the above.
