FOSDEM: The short version
Went to amsterdam, got great noodles, missed the train, ate noodles, got to brussels, got to hotel, found cool small bar in dark alley, went to bed, woke up ridiculously early, went to ULB campus, saw RMS, had WiFi, stopped having WiFi, met some friends, had surprisingly nice tuna sandwich, saw more talks, had lots and lots of dinner with mozilla people, went to as many bars as possible in one night, went back to hotel, got up at 8, got up again at 9:15, went to see andy talk, left for lots and lots of lunch, had awesome cake, almost missed train home, got back home.
Nicely condensed, I’d say.

International Me, part II.
Let’s add cyberhq.sg to the mix, too. All I’m after now is the .aq version, which might prove difficult to get.
Actually I’m also after cyberhq.int. Anyone out there who can make that happen?

Die, spammers! Die!
Apparently, my website is now on some big ‘SPAM-THESE-WEBSITES!’ list, because over the last few days I’ve been getting comment spam. Not just ‘more’ comment spam, but comment spam, at all. I used to get none. Most of them still didn’t come through because I have wordpress set up to automatically moderate comments with three urls or more in them. But still, deleting them all is very annoying.
Luckily, Wordpress comes with an anti-spam plugin that I have now enabled. It sends all comments to a central server that checks them for spamminess and returns a ‘good to go’ or ‘low-life spammer’ rating. The only downside is that you need a wordpress.com account for it, which means you get a wordpress.com blog (wordpress.com: boo! fix!). At least it doesn’t require any action on the commenting-side, like those annoying ‘type the characters in this image’ things.
Ugh.
