LinuxWorld and other assorted beasts

LinuxWorld is looming ever nearer.. under a week now until it starts! I’ve managed to get at least one other KDE developer to come - Ivor Hewitt - to whom I am eternally grateful for taking time off to help out. We have quite a nice set up too - Torsten Rahn has kindly supplied us with two KDE floor posters and I’ve got a Kubuntu floor poster courtesy of Jonathan Riddell. We will also have 20 of the KDE 10th Anniversary t-shirts to give away for free and another 200 KDE pins to sell. Not only that, but Canonical have kindly stepped in and said that we can borrow a machine from them for the duration of LWCE. It looks like LWCE this year is going to be the best yet!
In other news, Cambridge is getting hectic. Work is starting to stack up and 9am lectures are getting more cumbersome by the day. I’ve decided to rearrange the furniture layout in my room to give myself more usable floor space and I appear to be fanboying a maths student in my college. Hrmm.
The computer science stuff is still fairly elementary. We’re doing functional programming in ML and it’s not so bad. It gets a lot harder though so I’m not complaining! Physics is still very easy as we’re only doing special relativity which seems to be fairly easy, but again, the pace picks up later apparently. Oh well - it was my decision to come here to study!
