As promised before, I uploaded the medium and high quality photos from DebCamp, DebConf, the daytrips to Teotihuacan and Xochicalco, and LUG Camp into my gallery. Have fun.

Update: Unfortunately I forgot to adjust the date on my digicam from CDT back to CET, so the time in the exif tags from the photos I made at LUG Camp was 7 hours behind. This problem can be fixed using the -ta option of jhead, thanks Colin for the hint.

I just arrived back at home. This years LUG Camp was again a great event. Thanks to the LUG Allgaeu for organizing it.

I just uploaded the first photos of this years LUG Camp in Ofterschwang. Because of the very limited internet connection, I only uploaded the low quality photos, medium and high quality photos follow next week, when I'm back in the office.

Last night at about 04:00 we arrived in Ofterschwang at this years Linux User-Group Camp. There's no real internet connection here (there is, but it's way too slow for more than 100 people), so working isn't really possible. But we have lots of beer, so that's not a real problem... :-)

When I came back from DebConf6 on Monday, I went to bed at about 22:00 in the evening. I couldn't really sleep in the plane, so I stand up 18 hours later, Tuesday at 16:00 in the afternoon. Today I woke up at 07:00 in the morning and couldn't sleep any longer, after I went to bed at 04:00 in the night. Guess what... I feel tired. Looks like I'm getting old, this is the worst jet lag I ever had.

I just arrived back at home. Now I need a shower, and sleep, sleep, sleep.

This is my last day at DebConf6, I'm going to leave Oaxtepec by bus together with Andreas Barth and Peter De Schrijver in about three hours. It was a great event in a great country, I think we all had a lot of fun. Thanks to all who made it possible.

See you at DebConf7, wherever it may take place...

Tuomo just released ion-3ds-20060519, and I uploaded an updated ion3 package to experimental. The reason why I uploaded to experimental instead unstable is that ion3 switched to lua 5.1, and most available scripts from the ion3-scripts package still require lua 5.0 to work. Please be patient, I'm sure these scripts will be updated soon.

Yet another daytrip yesterday, this time to Xochicalco, again with several pyramids, altars and a museum. Afterwards we went to dinner (quite late), and visited the market in a city which name I forgot (mail me if you know it). And of course, I made some photos again.

Last night I worked on an updated package of libapache2-mod-python, which is a bit outdated in Debian currently. It's based on the work of Robert Edmonds (see #360653), and I'm already in contact with Peter Hawkins, the current maintainer. If you're interested in the package, please test it and send me feedback. It's available from here, see the changes file in the same directory for a changelog.

Today a small group of Debian developers (including me) went out for a daytrip to Teotihuacan, the city of the gods. There are two Pyramides, the Pyramid of the Sun, and the Pyramid of the Moon. It was really nice, we had a lot of fun, and I took a lot of photos of the Pyramids, the Street of the Dead, and geeky Debian developers. Thanks again to agi for organizing this great trip.

We finally have a working internet connection, hence I just uploaded the first photos I've taken to my gallery. I'm continue to upload the latest photos from time to time, and I'm not going to upload the high quality photos right now, because our connections isn't that fast, but they'll follow when I'm back at home.

Alright, that was fast... Stefano (who's currently sitting next to me) and James are already working on it.

We arrived here in Oaxtepec yesterday in the evening. All in all, I was 24 hours on the way. I met with some guys from Finland in Amsterdam, so it wasn't that boring waiting for the plane to Mexico City. From the airport in Mexico City we took a taxi to Oaxtepec. We ate something, and I learned an important lesson... if a mexican guy tells you something is spicy, it is spicy. After dinner, I went to bed.

This morning, we did some infrastructure work (setting up network cables between the locations). Now we're sitting here in the hacklab, and waiting for internet. We have a local wireless network, but no upstream yet. And thanks to Ganneff I can't make photos currently, because he required my batteries for his radio.

After a short night, I'm right now leaving to DebConf6. See you there!
