Yes, what should become of me? Instead of making holidays in the sun I'm busy in the rain. Since mannohmann now been more than NER week.

First, wars only a project proposal that had to be done. When the MacArthur Foundation, the University of California found the ingenious innovation together with Dinesh innovative, admit maybe next year the opportunity to build a wireless network. We'll see, but the work was worth. Although I would have thrown the day before submission almost the towel, had really no desire to applications and related Hoffenungen. Is somehow like playing the lottery, for those who have the time but no money.

Well, Monday finished, it had to go natural. Thursday was Pecha Kucha Night , and I was invited to talk about WHATEVER NEN (so I've chosen community wireless networks) to hold. Pecha Kucha , 20 slides for 20 seconds each (Beware, 2.5 MB PowerPoint, are also ne boring 1MB pdf ) show and encouraged NEN lecture. Makes 6 minutes and 40 seconds. And it sounds as short and simple, in practice not so easy to make. No time to lose the thread. Is (intended) almost like acting, where you have to learn the text by heart beforehand. Fast. And even if one takes seriously the motto.

What no one except me, of course, has been made, other issues such as bio-toilets exciting, free software, or context, and blush, but not a lecture, the exciting format of 20x20sek complied, but everybody was just simply very short. About ten minutes. I am German too? My excuse is that I just found the idea so the 20 seconds per slide so exciting, but as an excuse ne help?

Further Well, a lot of time I had not know, think about it, because since Friday we went. Ne presentation for the conference FOSS prepare about free software and community wireless networks. Now, is still a lot of work has become what is supposed to bring. And it had this and that will be tested again, and thereby get updated very often not to lose so many exciting possibilities of the path. I can only say, 7:09 Kamikaze is compiled several times, and Batman is now in my bangalore.freifunk.net.

Otherwise the weekend was once again a festival, Dasara . Rama has defeated Ravena, Sita and released, because the winners are indeed the good always overcomes evil. Reason enough to celebrate, and for ten days. In between, of course, still moves by those who celebrate the birthday of Ganesha least one month long. Sunday then, on the tenth day of Feierei, celebrates the things of everyday life. The taxi drivers decorate their taxis with palm leaves, construction vehicles are decorated genauswo like junk cars at the car hobbyists, computer hackers, and probably in the notes to the bankers.

And I, I stay at home, busy, no respect for the cultural events. Now, Lalu is in Canada and Dinesh is from Vidy in northern India, because I would go alone anyway gemußt was to me like it. And the sooner I've finished the presentation, the sooner I can go to Goa. The mechanic, with whom I've already phoned makes the bike ready. And then you just have to stop the daily rain and everything will be fine.
