Linux.conf.au Coming Soon

One of my most favorite Linux-centric shows of all time, Linux.conf.au is gearing up in their latest location - Canberra. The registration is still open; I highly, highly recommend attending the show.

Oh! That kind of show

[kitty tape]

I'm not sure I would even watch a TV show about Linux.

Shows? Like TV?

the reason australia was setup as a penal colony was that the US refused to take anymore convicts and thus Britain needed an alternative.

1. steal a loaf of bread

2. sentenced to 200 years on a paradise island..

sounds good to me.

Did they have beer? I find that creates ample interest in just about anything.

The paradise island is New Zealand.

Australia has something like 7/10 of the most poisonous snakes and spiders. Plus there's crocodiles (both salt and fresh water), and jelly fish that can kill if you figure you'll just go swimming in the ocean. People die of the heat and dehydration in the outback. Driving at night angers the Kangaroo God so he smites your car with them. There's also a Cattle God, a Sheep God, a Wombat God and a Roadtrain God. None are happy.

Not to mention they eat things like Musk Flavored Lifesavers and Vegemite. The heat, combined with US and Europe hiding the ozone layer makes it hard on people so they age badly. Crocodile Dundee is only 22.

But it was a nice country with great people, and I'll be back to ride from Cape York to Uluru (Ayers Rock) to Tasmania.

Firstly, I live in Canberra so I am 24 hours from everywhere else.........you insensitve clod:) International flights are available from London, Rome, Athens etc. to both Sydney and Melbourne. International flights to/from Europe do not stop over in Indonesia but some do stop for a couple of hours in either Sinagapore or Bangkok. Sydney is a 40 minute flight from Canberra and Melbourne is about 1 hour 15 minutes. You can drive from Sydney to Canberra in under 3 hours, if you drive on the left. Add another three hours for weaving through oncoming traffic if you drive on the right.

Names are important, that's why we use them in the first place

And I think the name I'm looking for is "dumbass".

For a Minute...

...I thought that I should go to /etc and look for linux.conf.au and then I realized that this was something completely different. I need to get out more. ;P

If New Zealand is Middle Earth, then Australia is where Frodo and co sailed off to at the end of LOTR. They were subsequently interned as boat people.
