The lack of sleep is starting to take hold, too many late nights staying up late and socilising in the awsome uni common room. We had the penguin dinner where more socialising happened, my one complaint was food << alcohol. I didn't care much for the preformers either, it was a big dissapointment since the rest of the week went so well. Pictures below, chip stand "free chips!", epic beer and the uni common room.

Ok, today’s recommendations are “The Elephant in the Room: Microsoft and Free Software” and “Tux on the Moon: FOSS hardware and software in space”. Both were interesting talks, especially the second one. A sort like competition to send a rocket into space (WhiteLabelSpace), but you should check out the progress of the Lunar Numbat!

For dinner I ordered Venison on a Stone, as you can see from the pics below the meat turned up raw. Thats ok, I can cook it on the hot rock they gave me as well!! Fancy that.

(ps if you don’t get the joke from the first pic please go here..) 404 Meal not found.. 🙂

A good day, the two talks that I enjoyed today were “Flying Rockets with Free Hardware & Free Software” and “The World’s Worst Inventions”, video will be released later if you want look at them. After the conference I headed back to my apartment and started more hardware soldering and programming. It is at this stage I have to thank everyone who cooked the meal, it was awesome and allowed us to continue with our hack fest. By the time we had all packed up it was just after 12am, this made the next day hard to get up but meah. I learnt enough to be able to continue with my next project, I should at leased have a stab at it as I now have all the hardware to put a test rig together and publicised it enough so there is almost no backing out.
