Neil’s Europe…

Goodbye to the city of smiles :-)

Friday 19 September,

Today was a day of lasts and firsts.

Last trip on the No17 bus to the university.
Last rounds of presentations and speakers.
First meeting of the fedora Users Group Europe.
Last lunch of salmon and salad.
Last discussion about fedora.
Last time together with the great people who are pushing fedora and pulling it in ways that are really impressive. Oh, and did I say the people responsible were all really nice?

To cap it all of we ended up in a bar, naturally,  for last beers and yet more talking.  One bar led to another, which was: A. cheaper, B. had better beer, C. had Hookah water pipes. Some of the guys were very keen to have a long relaxing smoke. But not me.

We then decided we needed to eat. We followed one guy who knew of a great place. He was 100% spot on, great food at an affordable price and people who just smiled and smiled.  We asked our waitress who calmly informed us that Aarhus is known in Denmark as the “City of Smiles”.  Looking around the room that was confirmed.

Today I’m loving…

Affirming the myth that executives from Google really do have 3 credit cards:

  1. Is for travel expenses
  2. Is for accommodation and meals
  3. Is to buy startup companies.

Why write and develop code yourself when you can buy the whole deal with the clever guys who wrote it? Far more efficient. That’s the Google way.
(NOTE to self: start writing clever code to get rich)
