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 …

Sleep was overrated, the welcoming amazing
Thanks Nukomeet, for a chatty pre-conference event! Thanks Alexander, Lukasz, Agnieska, Alban, Zaiste, Arsenia, Marcin, Johanna. And Robert and Christoffer. You are awesome, welcoming and interesting. (Quickly ordering rhubarb desserts just before the kitchen closed – top of my good-life game. The place with the kitchen open was Nifty No 20.)
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.

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 …
