http://blog.gwright.org.uk/articles/2006/10/19/linuxworld-and-other-assorted-beasts en-us 40 Random bloggings of a clearly disturbed KDE geek <p>LinuxWorld is looming ever nearer.. under a week now until it starts! I&#8217;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&#8217;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!</p> <p>In other news, Cambridge is getting hectic. Work is starting to stack up and 9am lectures are getting more cumbersome by the day. I&#8217;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.</p> <p>The computer science stuff is still fairly elementary. We&#8217;re doing functional programming in ML and it&#8217;s not so bad. It gets a lot harder though so I&#8217;m not complaining! Physics is still very easy as we&#8217;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!</p> Thu, 19 Oct 2006 01:46:00 +0100 urn:uuid:cba4c8e7-8b49-49e8-aec1-027f254f3444 gwright@kde.org (George Wright) http://blog.gwright.org.uk/articles/2006/10/19/linuxworld-and-other-assorted-beasts KDE Cambridge
