LRL 2007

(updated )

For those who don't know, I'm in the UK, catching up on some sun and geeky events. The sun hasn't got going yet (I still have my South African cold), but I'm in Wolverhampton for LugRadio Live 2007.

Getting to Wolverhampton was a pain in the arse:

  • My credit card got replaced last week, but the new one has a PIN number that I don't know :-)
  • I missed my train because of the above, and had to wait until after rush hour.
  • Then ended up catching a train to Manchester by mistake (I'm a geek, I only read signs once, and expect to be going the right way)
  • So an extra hour's detour later, I was in Wolverhampton, but my taxi got stoned by teenagers hanging outside the Kebab joint.

Anyway, now I'm sitting outside the cafe at LRL, and occasionally posting photographs

The poor cafe's internet connection is screwed - the DNS totally broken, OpenDNS is the answer: 208.67.222.222 Mr Butler from Ubuntu UK plied me with Biltong and free "Powered By Ubuntu" stickers. Wohoo!
