BarCamp here, in Copenhagen

On **17 november** at 17:00 [BarCamp Copenhagen](http://barcamp.org/BarCampCopenhagen) begins. What’s that?

Cph.rb had one more visiting rockstar. Thanks for coming, folks, and thanks for presenting, Obie! Update: Jesper’s photos. We did the most of Kassen as an impromptu conference space. There were a large table of guys from Cph.rb, and I got to meet well-known faces, hear some rumours, yammer on about Erlang (my programming language tourist experience [...]

Began running

Just found an old unblogged note from August 27: Today I went for a run in Fælledparken, with my training buddy, PM. This is a completely new experience for me: sports that I have elected to perform myself. I’m beat! Exhausted. Sweating. We ran from my house to the park, footfalls synchronized.
