Things and tings

Hefty weekend. Sooz’s sister and her other half came up to stay and it was nice to see them. Its been too long since we have met up and it was nice to hook up after so long. We are not going to leave it that long again.

LUGRadio Season 3 Episode 3 was released today. For some strange reason my wireless access point decided to die an untimely death this weekend, and as such I could not mail the master LUGRadio file to Matt for encoding. So, Matt sent me the encoding settings and I poked and prodded it into submission. Encoding ogg files is not exactly the easiest thing in the world, and the process involves some rather hairy gotchas. Matt seems to have figured much of this nonsense out though. :)

The discussion of LUGRadio Live 2006 is flooding in and people are starting to get excited about it. Its quite weird; a few comments I made on IRC have been picked up and blogged about, and we haven’t even officially announced it yet. There are still a few final blemishes to scrub out on the new website, but then it will be released in all its glory. Today I was hugely pleased to find out that Martijn van de Streek is coming over from Holland to talk about Ubuntu. I met Martijn at EuroOSCON and he is great fun. Those of you who loiter in the LUGRadio IRC channel will know him as Treenaks.

It was also good to hear from Graham at OpenForum Europe today. They are doing some good work over there. It will be interesting to see their efforts pan out and how they will affect the take-up of Open Source.

Oh, and thanks for the nice comments some of you have mailed me about the new site. It seems to be settling in well now. Good to know it is an improvement over the previous incarnation.
