FysikRevyTM

So Esben, how did you enjoy the FysikRevyTM?

I found it very entertaining. It lasted for more than three hours, and was packed with different skits, ranging from the more political with critique of the leadership of the faculty and the minister of science to the more absurd where a scientist presents his theory that everything consists of bananas.

As is tradition with the student revues at the faculty of science at KU the audience participated in the show to a great extend, with shouts, cheers and lots of Skål.

All in all a fun evening.

Mexibar åbningstider…

Men der er jo lukket…

Min verden faldt sammen et kort øjeblik. Hvad der skulle være en hyggelig mandag ude med min kæreste og nogle venner til drinks (og flere drinks) startede rigtig dårligt, da der var helt mørkt inde i Mexibars lokale i Elemgade på Nørrebro. (Elmegade nr. 27, lige på hjørnet af Elmegade og Sankt Hans Torv).

Mexibar er jo stedet at drikke lækre og farverige drinks med masser af sprut til su venlige priser!

Men de har nu åbenbart lukket om mandagen. Det har de ikke altid haft, men tiderne skifter. Det var et større detektivarbejde faktisk at finde frem til deres nuværende åbningstider – deres side på aok er ikke blevet opdateret i længere tid og de har vist ikke rigtig nogen brugbar hjemmeside.

De har dog et telefonnummer og her kan man komme til at snakke med en telefonsvarer, der oplyser at deres åbningstider er:

Tirsdag – Torsdag: 19 – 02
Fredag og Lørdag: 19-03
Mandag og Søndag: Lukket

Så skulle det være på plads (indtil de ændrer åbningstider igen – vi skriver januar 2009 nu).

… tilbage til drinksene mandag aften. Vi flyttede os hurtigt ind mod Nørreport station og endte på Out of Juice. Nej, deres drinks menu kan ikke konkurrerer med Mexibars, men med godt selskab, hvad gør det så?

Beer ticket (and more)

Inspirered by Peter Makholm‘s lightning talk on the Open Moko i will start with the ‘conclusion’ and work my way backwards.

I got the last beer ticket!

Fullrate (who happen to be my ISP) sponsored quite a few free beers at the Open Source Days 2008. However there was not enough for everyone and I happened to get the last ticket (after the two persons in front of me had declined it). The tickets were handed out after the keynote by Daniel Klein. (Does anyone know if the keynote or the slides are available on line somewhere?)

Before the keynote I spend most of Saturday either attending lightning talks or sitting at the Ubuntu booth. Work at the booth was quite relaxed. Mostly people just stopped by for some free CDs and to tell how happy they were with Ubuntu. There weren’t really any technical questions. If that can be taken as an expression that Ubuntu just works or if we were just lucky I don’t know. I will leave it up to you to draw conclusions.

Some people from The Software Exchange (a project under the Ministry of Science, technology and Innovation) had a very cosy and inviting booth sporting a roaring fireplace (on a LCD tv), a moose head (with the nickname Elge Sander), comfortable leather chairs and a portrait of the sabdfl him self. Really was a fun setup!




Janus has pictures from Thursday and Friday + Saturday.
Niels took more pictures that will hopefully come on line soon.

European Beer Festival

I attended the European Beer Festival yesterday and it was great!

I got through a lot of different beers, both from local micro breweries and larger international brands. There was a lot of good beer, but I must admit that I still prefer the blond wheat beers most of all.

The open source beer Free Beer was also present at the festival. I didn’t get to try it out, but I did manage to take this picture.

Yes, it’s blurry and out of focus, but that’s just to match my impression of last night…

Need more Teletubbies!

Yesterday The Flaming Lips played at Tivoli.

Flaming Lips laser show

I saw them last year at the very wet 2007 Roskilde Festival. The smaller stage at Tivoli did set a limit to how many aliens, constructions workers and Teletubbies they were able to bring to the stage, but they did bring quite a show, both for the ears and eyes. Lots of balloons, confetti, lights and more!

After the concert we went for “just one beer” and that beer turned into another one and soon the sun was getting up and Saturday morning was here.

Sol, strand, grill og øl

Når vejret er så godt som det er i øjeblikket kan man godt glemme at vi lever i en verden med web 2.0 – så her er en video af nogle pølser pakket ind i bacon (de smagte godt efter en tur på grillen!)


og et link til nogle billeder fra en tur på Heidi’s Bierbar:
