A few friends from 1CC invited me to this subversive event called the
[[http://bostoncriticalmass.org/|Critical Mass]]. I used the complimentary Acetarium bicycle.
It was a lot of fun :-)
+=== Tue, 28th October - Daneel and Giskard ==
+
+{{Daneel.jpg|Daneel, my faithful Apple iBook}}
+
+My old PowerPC iBook served me well for over 5 years, accompanied me around the
+world twice or so, carrying three Linux distros on the same hard drive. Not to
+mention all the stickers, which conferred it great hacker value. One month ago,
+the integrated ATI GPU broke beyond any possibility of repair.
+
+Such a great loss had to be compensated with something at least half as cool.
+I chose a lightweight Lenovo Thinkpad X200s, with a LED backlit 12" display, a
+low-voltage U9300 processor and **no** stupid CD reader or writer.
+
+Today my package was delivered home and I installed Ubuntu 8.10 Interpid, just
+one day before the official release.
