Decorator/stage designer: “Hotel guests need the suburban comfort. Can we add role-playing to the mix?”
Hotel manager: “In your room, dear guest, you’ll be Mr. Tyler, insurance salesman. Your wife Clara and your daughter Rose will stay in the same room. They’ve requested a Southern accent from you, can you handle that? Safe-words are in the pamphlet. Happy stay — Mr. Tyler.”
That was the LARP/hotel. Scary. More scary when jetlagged. Is there an ARG/hotel?

So, my title there, it’s a bit off, I’m going to show you how to become a Bespin hacker. What steps to take. Where to fix things. (Since there’s an ample list of things to fix – as in every healthy FOSS project.)
This is a hint about a flea market in Malmö.
Electronics flea market, we don’t have in Malmö, but I recommend “Tjyvkällarn” and Marknadsbörsen on weekends, the latter being the more interesting to the enterprising maker looking for a find in obsolete electronics.
Possibly related: Assorted pictures from the flea market, with mad-crazy MIDI tunes embedded on the page. Fair warning.
What I wanted to say with this was: dear self, remember to go there like each weekend, just like cleaning house. It’s good for you.
Zyb recruiting iPhone programmer talent. They hack the cognitive “pull effect” that the words “java” and “C” have on developers. Look at velocity of the four-eyed guy in the short-sleeved shirt and utility back-pack. They win.

Sometimes, I think about Net fame, how it drives folks (including me, to some extent) to do more or less heroic feats of help to Open Source projects they dig. Here is a luke-warm little task you could grab as yours:
