PolyConf experience report
Yesterday morning, the ISS was resupplied, in a textbook example of a great space-station docking. I had just woken up, and saw the last 2 minute of the docking. Very exciting. Then I began trying to finish this conference overview. It’s more stream-of-consciousness than report. You’ve been warned. So, outside the bubble of conference again. My tweeting …
PolyConf 2015 Travelogue
Dear reader, this whole note is a travelogue. Flight finished. Able to avoid the coffee, which I think they even ask 20 DKK for. Their bottled water was better. Spied @chvest (business card title: “Dragon Keeper”) and @jankrag (“Continuous Improvement Engineer”) at the baggage claim. Rode a cab with them to our hotel. Told them a story about …
Looking forward to PolyConf 2015
On Wednesday, I once again journey south, to Poznan in Central Europe, to participate in the PolyConf programming conference.

Here is an image of us failing to walk into the right building: Talks began immediately. …
PolyConf 2014, a travelogue, part 1
Had a family start to the trip, as my programmer friend has a Polish cousin in Poznan. She treated us to a quick dinner with the activity “sample the wines we try out for the wedding and rank them.” We picked the winner, bottle 3, which was the right answer. A nice chatty evening was …
EuroPython 2008: A belated travelogue
This is an undetailed log of goings-on and other inspiration at EuroPython 2008, which took place in Vilnius, Lithuania (the southernmost of the Baltic countries). Arriving in Vilnius, which has an airport the size of a thimble, we started into the city in a cab. Cab driver tried to upsell some prostitutes. We were more …
TBD Hackathon 2012 participant report
I spent the weekend at TBD 2012 Hackathon in a coffee shop in Malmö. I know part of the organizing team, and it was nearby, so I joined in, for the feeling of the fast-paced making. Update: If you met me at the hackathon, say hello in the comments. Or on Twitter, I’m olleolleolle. Kthxbye! …
