Mikey's Blog

OK, that's a pretty wanky title, but it's what Jo and I can do for the next few months while living Tubingen, Germany.

The story goes like this... about 6 months ago Arnd Bergmann suggested doing an exchange with him after LCA 2008. After thinking about it for all of about half a second, Jo and I decided to take him up on the offer. So we are spending 2 months in Tubingen, then a month traveling around Europe, then another month in Austin, all while Arnd lives in our apartment in Canberra.

We arrived in Germany about two days ago and got settled pretty quickly. We met our lovely new house mates, Ines and Sebastian, did a quick tour of Tubingen and then headed into the Boblingen offices where I'll be working.

I've setup a photo gallery here and thankfully Jo has started a blog, so you won't have to put up with me murdering the English language, just to find out what we are up to.

Get your coding pants on because it's time for the linux.conf.au 2008 Hackfest.

It's time to bring some real science into the source control debate. Google Rulage/Suckage ratio!
