WLW2009: Part 4: Thoughts Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:05 — nathan

So it's all over and what do I think? Well it was fun. It always is good fun to meet up with other techie people and chat about Linux and software. The community that turns up to these events is such an amazing group of friendly helpful people that it's always a pleasure to spend time with them. Today has been a lot of work for a lot of people, something more apparent when you're on the crew but I would love to put in that effort again. I still got to watch talks, chat to fellow open source enthusiasts and ended up with a bag full of new mugs, books and a hoodie.

WLW2009: Part 3: OggCamp Sun, 10/25/2009 - 20:04 — nathan

It's all over. I'm on my way back down to Bath on the train now. It was a bit of a rush in the end with Katie, and two others only making it onto their train back London-ward with only a minute to spare, but we made the most of the time here.

WLW2009: Part 2: LugRadio Live Sat, 10/24/2009 - 19:14 — nathan

We're back at the hotel having had dinner now. It's been a really busy day but great fun. It was an early start for a Saturday so we could get breakfast before going over to the venue for doors opening at 9:30. It was a bit of a damp morning walking around the park to get to the Nothampton Arts Centre. We arrived just in time to here Ron telling us we could go in, people with the right change first. A potato stamp in the shape of a space invader replaced the lanyards and id tags last year. Then after a quick look around the stalls it was off to the first talk.

WLW2009: AKA LRL and OggCamp, Part 1: Travelling Fri, 10/23/2009 - 23:20 — nathan

It's arrived, after just over a year and 3 months, the promised return of LugRadio Live. This year it's a one day event on Saturday, but to fill the void the LinuxOutlaws and Ubuntu UK Podcast teams have joined forces to bring us OggCamp on the Sunday. Not wanting to show favouritism I've invented the name "Wolverhampton Linux Weekend" as a title to all the blog posts I may (or may not) write this weekend.

The Great Paper Wars Sat, 08/15/2009 - 11:32 — nathan

No one would have believed in the early days of the 20th century that paper supplies were in the depth of a great war. In stationery shops the world over the supplies of paper were warring amongst themselves over what line pattern was the true master race. The plain paper notebooks had taken an early lead with their free form and unpredictable style. The regimented order of the lined paper soon showed it's strengths though. Organised into coherent collected thoughts the lined paper suppressed the rough sketchings and doodles of the plain paper through superior numbers and tactics.
