-
-==== Down Under ====
-
-Yesterday I had to clear my room, pack my stuff at OneCambridgeCenter, and
-say goodbye to many, many good friends and colleges. I don't even know when
-I'll be able to see them again. Not exactly a happy day, you may have guessed.
-
-Today, after 22 hours of flight, I started to have visions. At the baggage reclaim,
-I thought I was talking with the kernel god LinusTorvalds. He said that userspace
-is easy and that he cannot exactly agree iwith some of the choices made in Python.
-We'd really get along if it wasn't just a dream :-)
-
-Later on, I reached the hotel and got into the elevator with a ginger guy
-that looked vaguely familiar. I asked if he was going at LCA.
-
- -- //Yes.//
-
- -- //Are you a software developer?//
-
- -- //Well... not primarily...//
-
-Blink!
-
- -- //Oh, you must be JonathanCorbet, the editor of LinuxWeeklyNews!//
-
- - //Indeed.//
-
-Today was a really exciting day! I needed something like this to compensate,
-at least partially, for leaving Boston.
-
-----
-
-Hi Bernie! Just stepped here looking for the photos of XOs hanging from the ceiling (i wanted to show them to my father) and found you leaving!
-
-So, have a nice journey, enjoy conf.au and see you soon!

-
-==== Another trip to NY ====
-
-I'm planning to go to NewYorkCity tomorrow with a bunch of friends.
-But this time I guess we'll catch a different transportation:
-we were booking the FungWah (aka ShittyBus), when ChrisBall came
-and looked at us funny. "Are you sure? Those buses have a habit
-of catching fire on the highway".
-
-Apparently, it is really true:

-
-=== Bernie the rockstar ====
-
-If you were considering hiring me, or entrusting me to do anything serious, you'd better watch this first:
-
- * [[BernieIronMaiden.ogg]] - [1.8MB] if you have the free OggTheora codec
- * [[BernieIronMaiden.mov]] - [3.6MB] if you're stuck with proprietary QuickTime codecs
- * //nothing// - [0MB] if you're stuck with the proprietary MediaPlayer or RealPlayer codecs
-
-
-**Q:** why doesn't my browser play the link right away rather than asking me to download it? \\
-**A:** because my wiki doesn't support mime-magic yet
-
-**Q:** why don't you just let apache serve media files? \\
-**A:** because a CGI has no way to "handoff" a file to the web server once they've been invoked
-
-==== Food and Power ====
-
-Here's a stupid movie by SamuelKlein, ArjunSarwal and myself:
-
- * [[FoodAndPower/FoodAndPowerHigh.ogg]] - [62MB] OggTheora stream, quality 10
- * [[FoodAndPower/FoodAndPowerMed.ogg]] - [26MB] OggTheora stream, quality 7
- * [[FoodAndPower/FoodAndPowerLow.ogg]] - [16MB] OggTheora stream, quality 5
-
-If your computer cannot play the above links, you should really consider installing
-a free media player, or just switching to Linux which comes with all the free media
-players and codecs out of the box. Meanwhile, here's a workaround:
-
- * [[FoodAndPower/FoodAndPower.avi]] - [103MB] original AVI stream from our shitty camera
-
-These also prove the quality of the OggTheora codec. After seeing this, I think
-I'd recommend using it for its technical advantages in addition to its legal advantages.
-
-In producing these movies, I found out that:
-
- * mencoder has bad support for ogg-theora
- * transcode kinda sucks
- * ffmpeg seems the best command-line encoder of the three I tried
- * The easiest solution if all you need is encoding anything to Theora is ffmpeg2theora.
- All you have to do is:
- {{{
- ffmpeg2theora FoodAndPower.avi
- }}}

-==== The little computer that just won't die! ====
-
-OneLaptopPerChild is not enough. There should definitely be

-
-Look [[OneAmigaPerChild/OneAmigaPerChild | here]] for additional details.
-A big thankyou to MicheleConsoleBattilana for providing a free copy of
-AmigaForever, a fine tribute to the coolest platform ever!

-==== The XaoS strikes back! ====
-
-I enjoyed bundling this OldSkool activity for the XO:
-
-http://wiki.laptop.org/images/8/8c/XaoS-screenshot4.png
-
-See: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XaoS
-
-It certainly needs some more sugarization work for which I have no time.

-=== Wed 2st ===
-
-==== Haiku Laptop ====
-
-Today we shipped our machine affected by dlo#5575 (touchpad mostly unfunctional)
-to Japan for further inspection by ALPS. Just before closing up the plastic case,
-I've left inside a little fortune cookie for them:
-
-{{HaikuXoSmall.jpg}}
-
-If you're wondering what it means, it's a piece of japanese poetry called a HaikuPoem.
-Google for it.
-
-=== Tue 1st ===
-
-==== Trip to Walden Pond ====
-
-This really happened on Monday 31st Dec, but who'd go read last year's blog entry now?
-
-So, Adam, Arjun and myself went to this [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walden_Pond|Walden Pond]]
-place, where the famous American poet [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_David_Thoreau|Thoreau]]
-lived in complete isolation for 2 years in a cabin made of wood.
-
-{{WaldenPond1Small.jpg|Arjun (left) and Me (guess who?)}}
-
-On this very nice lake, I stupdily tried to run on the ice and fell badly, hitting my jaw
-and cheek on the hard ice. Little cut, big bump... no permanent consequences. Maybe I
-should consider a health insurance?

-==== Red Panda ====
-
-Today I visited the Cairns tropical zoo. They have this cute red panda:
-

-
-And I could feed kangaroos and wallabies and even cuddle a koala! I have
-a picture to prove it, but it's not digital.
-
-==== Photos ====
-
-Arnd has flickr'd a few photos form our visit to the HealsvilleSanctuary:

-
-==== So long, and thanks for all the fish! ====
-
-Back from diving. I've seen plenty of small fish and medium fish, including the ClownFish (best known as Nemo).
-I had little luck with the big ones: I've seen only one shark, around 2.5 mt long, but it was really
-shy and ran away too quickly for me to follow. Yes, sharks do not attack man. If you know otherwise,
-you must have seen it in a movie. No sea turtles for me, although my travel mates did see many and
-even touched them.
-
-I've also seen two dolphins, but those don't count because I was on board. And, for
-some reason, they soon decided that we were uninteresting and swam away.
-
-But now for the amazing thing: during my night dive, *lots* of big fish came around us.
-I'm ashamed to admit I can't remember their name: they were mostly gray, as big as
-medium sized dogs, with a bump on their heads, and big lips. They have learned to
-follow the torch lights at night. They're absolutely not interested in us, only what our
-beams were pointing at. Every once in a while, I'd spot a small fish in the dark, and
-the big ones would swim really quickly and smash it! And then spit the little bones!
-So cool!
-
-We played like this for a while. Poor little fish! But those big ones ought to eat somehow,
-shouldn't they?
-
-The reef is one of the seven natural wonders of the world for a reason. A zoological
-garden underwater. Highly recommended to divers and snorkelers.
-
-
-=== Thu, 7th ===
-
-==== Crusade on the reef ====
-
-I'm boarding on a ship to the GreatBarrierReef. I'll be diving all day (and night!) to
-see the wonderful fish and coral. As a secondary objective, I'll be doing an SSI
-advanced diving course.

-=== Wed, 6th ===
-
-==== Tropical paradise =====
-
-I just arrived in CairnsCity, a small town in the northern part of Queensland.
-The flight was AU$99 plus taxes (about AU$115): you fly cheap in OZ!
-
-The climate here is clearly sub-tropical: very warm and wet even at 7AM.
-A rain forest surrounds the city. The sea is 28 degrees Celsius, even at night!

-
-=== Mon 4th ===
-
-==== Sydney ====
-
-I'm SydneyCity! :-)
-
-But the weather is crappy :-(
-
-I took a domestic flight from Melbourne to Sydney for just AU$79 plus the usual taxes.
-It rained all day, but the hostel is huge and has a covered swimming pool at the 8th floor.
-
-Finally, I managed to walk around the city. The parks are as remarkable and well kept as those
-in London, but with sub-tropical vegetation. The OperaHouse is as impressive as you would
-expect. The bridge is even more impressive. If you liked BridgeConstructionSet, you'd love
-this one!
-
-=== Sun 3rd ===
-
-==== Zoo ====
-
-Along with a bunch of other hackers from the LCA, we went to the HealsvilleSanctuary zoological garden.
-They had all the "usual" animals: kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, wombats, along with the Tasmanian devil
-and many others.
-
-The kangaroos were not protected by a fence, but they were too scared to come close to us
-and would just jump away when we got too close.
-
-One wallaby, instead, liked being caressed on the head. They are peaceful animals,
-very much like grown up rabbits, but with a big tail, clever little forehands and... of course, a pouch :-)

-==== OLPC demoed to the EU president Danilo Türk ====
-
-Today we have been received by the President of Slovenia [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danilo_T%C3%BCrk | Danilo Türk]],
-and **President in charge of the European Union**. I was told to show him some of the unique features of the XO. Somehow,
-I contained my emotion and managed to do a decent presentation.
-
-Before leaving us, the President expressed profound interest in the OLPC educational goals.
-This means our project is likely to receive support within the European Parliament.
-
-**Update**: President Türk knows about the shortage of Internet addresses, and
-was impressed by our laptop being IPv6-ready. We mentioned that the infrastructure
-is currently a show-stopper in most places, but the President said this issue will
-have to be addressed if we want the Internet to scale to the point required by our
-ambitious project.

-
-Representatives of [[http://www.olpc.at/ | OLPC Austria]] rushed here on very short notice to
-help with the OLPC booth. We demoed the laptop to 79 delegations of the African countries,
-members of the EU parliament and dignitaries of the United Nations
-Development Programme. Not surprisingly, the laptop was called
-"**the killer event at the ACP-EU meeting**".
