Linuxbierwanderung Report
Wired News has an enjoyable report of the Linuxbierwanderung (Linux Beer Hike). It sounds like it was a wonderful event, and you can't beat the admission (free)! I almost feel stupid for missing out on this, even if I don't drink. As a bonus, they even got to see the eclipse.
That'd rock. Of course, we'd probably end up getting into some vicious disputes with the border patrol over legal drinking age on the border :). Ah well. Minor issues.

Half hours ago when I came to the slashdot.org there was a quickie news right after this one. And now it was taken down. It's time to reconsider the Andover/BillGa~1 connection.

Timothy Taylor's Landlord is undoubtedly the best beer in Britain (it just won CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) first prize again, so that's not only my bigoted opinion.
... there's not an eclipse promised next year, but instead I could offer to arrange a trip around the brewery and I doubt if after a couple of hours in there anyone would know whether it was day, night, eclipse or hatstand. Keighley, where they brew the stuff, is only about 10 miles from the best curry in Europe - Bradford.
...........
I used to say it was the best in the world - but then I spent a year living in Munich and got to know the head brewer for Paulaner who educated me. Now I reckon it's probably the second-best beer in the world
So, how about a beer-and-curry-hike next summer?
Any takers?
In fact, I think I'll give it a trial run this afternoon
having to be in the same place. Let's do an irc chat and everyone get a ton of beer. This way you can read how stupid you were when you were drunk. Love to do this but the guy that said he made a teleporter, well he's still applying for release from the mental institute. irish red fan
Wonder what happened with it? Maybe they didn't find it interesting?
:o)
BTW. I voted BeOS
I'm glad I'm not the only geek out here who
doesn't drink.

... is beer?

This really suits the Linux mentality. I mean, think of the parallels:
Q) What's yer favourite distro?
A) SUSE
Q) Lame Ass. Real men run Slackware!
Q) What's yer favourite brew?
A) Lower Musquadaboit Lager
Q) Lame Ass, LM Lager is crap. Real swillers drink Mosquito Gulch Ale!
The only difference being I'm too chicken to name real beers because of the inevitable flame wars that will result. Linux preferences are safer to state.
Suggestion: we have the next Linux Beer event right on the Canada-US border, say a western portion of it so I can travel. That way we can insult each others' beer in the comfortable setting of enjoying our favourite software.

real man dont use debian gnu/linux they use debian gnu/hurd!!!
I would obviously recommend that this be somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. Humboldt County, California has a few very good breweries, and magnificent scenery with the Coast Redwoods.
Portland, Oregon supposedly has the highest per-capita concentration of breweries on the planet, and nearby there is Mt. Hood, the Columbia River Gorge, and many other very good hiking areas.
If Seattle is preferred, perhaps it could be a bike trip through the San Juan Islands. I don't know if there are many breweries up there, though.
Finally, across the Strait of Juan de Fuca (I just like to say that out loud), there is Victoria, B.C. on Vancouver Island. There are some good breweries, and many excellent pubs, and the island has many recreational opportunities.
I couldn't make it to Germany (although I would have liked to), but I could definitely attend a Beer Hike in any of these places.

That's where the next one should be. I you don't know why, then you don't know Why.
just BYOB!

It's a non-western locale which good for global perspective on the idea ... and speaking of perspective, it's closer to The Source (if I know what you wanna da people to know Why, eh?).
That way you can open up The Source while you look at open source. Oops! It's time to change the bong water, fill the bowl and build a new kernel. Ta.

Hmmm. I'd certainly like the chance to go to France and do a Linux bike trip, myself, perhaps one that ended up on the beaches of Cannes?
...
I can program in French if need be and have a number of friends from France
And then we can practice our arrogance and say things like "Le Microsoft, c'est un batard! Merde!" And argue about distros in drunken bar fights, while wearing racing jackets (and caps) with our distros on them.
Anyone else up for this?
