Olympic Village by Night – Bungalows, originally uploaded by firebirdy. This is a photo taken from the roof of my building tonight. Colm gave me his old camera, when he got a new one, and [...] Yesterday, David Reid of the ASF and FeatherCast interviewed me about Dublin, in the run up to ApacheCon Europe 2006. The podcast is now available, at FeatherCast.org. David has edited it marvellously, so that I only say ‘emm’ about 325 times, and ‘literally’ about half that I think sound a bit like the [...] Yesterday was Christi Himmelfahrt, which is a bank holiday here, so it was a relatively quiet day. I spoke to home, and had a bit of trouble explaining to my mum what holiday it was You see, I can never say the right word when I want to, when it comes to the [...] This is my take on the “why are women so underrepresented in technology in general, and open source in particular” debate, inspired by several things that have come up lately – primarily the publication of the FLOSSPOLS report of findings & recommendations, a thread on the women@apache mailing list, and a seemingly innocent comment on [...] So, I promised some more upbeat blogging, and here it comes It’s been rather a while since I blogged, but not much happened on the German side – the only thing of any real note was that I had a trial thing in the language lab, and it went really well – so I [...] It’s been a great weekend, but I’ve just found out something horrifically frustrating Expect more blogging on the weekend when I get to Germany (just in the airport now), but I want to get the frustration out of my system first My Google Summer of Code application looks highly likely to be rejected.
