There was a meeting at my institute yesterday in which every unit gave a presentation about what they are doing. This was quite informative, although I cannot really relate to what most of them are doing. Afterwards, I met a PhD student who has the same supervisor as I. This was pretty useful. After the meeting, I went home since I still don't have an IP address at work. I tried getting a new chair for my room, but the furniture officer wasn't around. I'm really quite unproductive because sitting at my table isn't very comfortable. In the afternoon, I actually unpacked my suitcase (these RL things…). Later, I went to the pissup in a brewery which Daniel Silverstone had organized. Quite a few Debian people were there — the usual Cambridge crowd.
I think I'm ill. In fact, I know I'm ill, but I guess I don't want to admit it. ;-) I spent most of the afternoon in bed, first sleeping and then answering some e-mail. It looks as if we'd finally get remote access to a 64 bit PowerPC system. I talked to IBM several times about this port, and I hope we'll get a dedicated machine in the near future. I also contacted some Debian people who I think should come to FOSDEM. There's a track on usability and I hope Mario Lang can give a talk about the work he's done for debian-installer.
