Might as well announce it

I'm going to FOSDEM, the Free and Open Source Software Developers' European Meeting

Not that I’m a developer; the nearest that I come to that is “KWord alpha tester” (which reminds me that I haven’t checked out today’s version yet). But I’ve wanted to stand behind a stall for a long time, and this is a nice opportunity. Also, I’ll go and see something of Brussels on Sunday, for instance the Hallepoort (Porte de Hal if you prefer French to Flemish). I’m determined not to do anything useful, like volunteer for another half-day of Fosdem or even go to church. Perhaps the hotel I’ve just booked a room at (Euro Capital Brussels) is full of Fosdem people, but I won’t let them sway me.

Afterthought

Orthodox Christians should write and paint and sing and dance. We should make movies and television shows. We should make clothes and produce textiles as art as well (the fullness of culture is itself too large to describe in a sentence, a paragraph or even a book). And in all these activities, they will be expressive of the fullness of our humanity without having to stick an icon on everything to prove its Orthodoxy.

—Father Stephen in Glory to God for All Things

Can't see the post?

If you've come here via your RSS feed and all you can see is a page with header, sidebar and footer but no post, you probably suffer from the RSS bug that lops off the extension from the filename. You can get around it by adding ".html" to the URL in your title bar.

I know about this bug (no need to report it), and I intend to fix it, but last time I tried that the blog stopped working completely.
