    I'm still at the LBW right now, the event was very funny and avoided the hype going around Linux events.

    Just a bunch of geeks having fun together, sharing knowledge and drinking a lot of beers.

    Great party! I will definitively go to the next one.

    Is it just me, or does this seem like a REALLY bad idea??

    I mean.. crap. Hundreds of linux users setting up computers and then getting really drunk. I can just see this. People stumbling around drunk in the evening, absentmindedly tripping and falling into the spaghetti-cable mess between card tables.. and since everyone is drunk, no one can get them out.. so they remain in a tangled heap until the conference ends and they are discovered by maintenance crews. A quake game in which everyone is just kind of sliding around in slow motion, moving forward and then turning slowly (their crosshairs wobbling) to shoot at each other and missing. And then strafing into the lava by accident. A man stumbles in from drinking, collapses at his cardtable and wakes up the next morning with a throbbing headache in front of a screen covered in near-gibberish written sometime during the previous night that later turns out to be a threaded messaging cgi system written in perl. A weepy drunk guy, unable to deal with his repeatedly crashing X Server because he's not thinking clearly, goes and drinks to forget his troubles until he dies of alchohol poisoning. The SUSE team, sitting on the floor with the guy who wrote Kontour, halfconsiously swinging beer cans in the air and singing Filk in german. The guy who's been writing all those "BSD is dying" trolls standing and angrily yelling, his voice slurring, threatening physical violence against the one mac user who dared to show up for some reason. A bunch of british football hooligans who stagger around, challenge random people to FIFA 2001, lose, and then beat the victors up and smash their playstations. A LARGE HORDE OF PEOPLE GETTING DRUNK AND POSTING ON SLASHDOT EN MASSE.

    Umm.. damn. I wish i was in germany.

    I'm going to request that Larry has 'Bad Mondorf' as an error message in the next release of perl. Can you imagine?

    % perl thing.pl
    Error compiling thing.pl: bad mondorf

    Go check the pics if you haven't a clue what I'm on about!
