Málaga, Leni, j, Jordi, Jaffa cakes for breakfast!

I'm in Málaga now at the Open Source World Conference. I was surprised about the number of people coming to the conference. The main room was full in the morning. I arrived yesterday evening, was picked up at the airport and brought to the hotel where I met the Debian crowd which was just about to into town. I put my stuff in my room and off we went to a restaurant where we had excellent sea food. I met Leni and various other Debian users and developers. I also discovered how "j" is really pronounced in Spanish — names like Javier and Jesús sound much different to how I'd say them (either in English or German).

In the morning, after getting up way too early for my taste, we had really nice breakfast. I had the usual stuff and then some cheese cake, and they actually had Jaffa Cakes, too. That certainly made my day! Jaffa Cakes at breakfast, now that's an incentive to get up really early tomorrow (hmm, thinking about it, maybe even that is not good enough an incentive). As I said, the conference is much larger than expected. I finally got wireless working on my laptop for the first time, which was really nice. And then came the shock of my life — I met Jordi Mallach, the most annoying person on the whole planet. He is worse than your worst nightmare, a real pajillero, believe me (or, rather, don't — for those not aware of our "personal war": I really like him, and we talk on IRC almost every day; and he's my "Orkut brother". Of course, I wouldn't admit to any of this, so you didn't read this).

We have a meeting about Debian based distributions and how to cooperate more closely in the future, and Petter Reinholdtsen of Skolelinux is currently talking. Oh, just finished. Hmm, it's a shame Amaya isn't here.
