Well, I made it back in the end; it was a fun week. I didn't finish my pet project in the end, but I got it well over the hurdle that had been getting in my way and should be able to clean up the last few bits and pieces soon. I decided I wanted to spend the last few days having fun instead, so I went to a water park (let's ignore the fact that I can't swim at all, shall we?) on Thursday, and the conference proper was probably more memorable for evenings sitting around drinking whisky with friends than the actual talks. :) The ftpmaster talk ("Elmo's Angels") and the sort of sociological one about improving relationships among people within the project were interesting, though, plus the one I missed due to having to catch my plane that I'll have to find the slides for later, and as ever Bdale was an excellent after-dinner speaker.

I missed people at home, so I'm glad to be back. Probably should've taken a day off work on Monday as well, though, as I was tired from travelling and my brain wasn't working too well, even though my cold unhelpfully mostly cleared up just in time to go back to work.

I don't think I'm going to be quite so far north for a long time, unless anyone fancies going on holiday with me to Finland or something ... any takers? :)

Well - I've got at least one friend in Finland I want to visit. And I have a pet project to take the train from Helsinki to St. Petersburg, arriving at the Finland Station. Yes, I know it's been rebuilt since Lenin's day, but I still feel very strongly that it would be nice to begin my first ever trip to Russia by arriving the way Lenin did.
