Don Valley Brickworks
Sunday, October 14th, 2007Pat, Andrew and I went to the Don Valley Brickworks building a few weeks ago for a photo shoot. Here’s a shot from there.
Ontario Linux Fest
Sunday, October 14th, 2007Yesterday I was at the first ever Ontario Linux Fest, manning the Eclipse booth together with Remy. Also hung out with a whole bunch of people from Red Hat’s Toronto office: Sami, Lillian, Ben, Andrew, Behdad, Tom and Matt. I think the conference was great. It was pretty small and intimate and didn’t feel like LinuxWorld; which I think is way too huge.
You can see some photos at Andrew’s blog post. I especially like this one

Eclipse Booth
We had a whole bunch of people come by the Eclipse booth, and to my surprise at least 60% didn’t even know what Eclipse was. Another 20% kinda knew what it was but never tried it. The rest knew what it was and at least have tried it once. Only a few people actually used Eclipse. That was kind of surprising to me, even though I knew that Eclipse wasn’t very well received by the Linux crowd. Andrew‘s presentation was well received from what I heard, so hopefully that will help with spreading the word about Eclipse. I think that the efforts of the Eclipse linux distros project is well worth it, and will help really help people use Eclipse on Linux.
OpenMoko
I had my Neo1973 with me and was playing around with it in the booth most of the day. A *lot* of people came by because they saw it and wanted to play around with it too. So that was fun. Yesterday I flashed the latest OpenMoko image to the phone and was actually able to make phone calls out of the box, which was very exciting. I even used the phone all day as a cell phone, and was surprised how long the batter actually lasted: most of the day. Of course I connected it to the computer once in a while because I was shuttling files back and forth. But since I always have my laptop with me anyway, that’s not a problem so I hope to start using the phone full time soon.
I think I’m also going to go to FSOSS, since it looks pretty interesting and it’s going to be a good break from school. See you there.
Ontario Linux Fest tomorrow
Friday, October 12th, 2007Tomorrow I’m going to be manning the Eclipse booth at the Ontario Linux Fest, together with Remy. That should be a good break from doing school work all the time.
There’s going to be a pretty huge turnout of Red Hat folks from Toronto , so it’s going to be fun seeing everyone again.
I’m also going to have my Neo 1973 phone there (which is currently on loan to Sami). Since the Fedora and Eclipse booths are right next to each other I hope Sami and I can have a lot of fun playing with it.
Come say hi if you’re there!
Mutual Destruction
Thursday, October 11th, 2007Alas the CalTrain has a completely retarded seating scheme where all the seats in a single car face only one way. Except the two first (or last, depending on your point of view) seats in the car. These extra special seats face each other, so a group of four people can sit and face each other happily. Or so we thought.
Roundtable

Bag lady
Tuesday, October 9th, 2007This woman was walking around downtown San Francisco collecting empty bottles into her bags. I think the retro style matches the occasion.

Evening sunlight
Sunday, October 7th, 2007We were climbing Telegraph Hill to get to the Coit tower around 7-8PM and the sun was slowly setting over the SF bay. The light on the hill was simply amazing and we even had to stop and make sure that this wasn’t orange graffiti. No. It wasn’t.
