nothing like a day of meetings

yesterday was the end of the contributor conference. the akademy awards were also given out yesterday. the feeling in the air was electric as i wrapped up the conference with an improvised closing speech. the applause for those who made akademy possible, such as marcus furlong and his team, was sustained and loud. it was a fitting end to two brilliant days of solid technical presentations.

today has been spent entirely in the annual general meeting of the kde e.v. it's like a booster shot of administration. it leaves a bit of an itch, but it's for the best. ;)

the best news is that tonight we have a function put on by google to take the string out and then it's on to the really exciting stuff for the rest of the week: the hackfest. well, that's the exciting stuff for me anyways =)

Thanks for all your hard work with KDE Aaron, and to the rest of the community also. (from an appreciative user).

I can only guess where the anonymous commenter is from but Politics is one of the many subjects available in Trinity. American Universities particulary love sending students here for an exchange year because they make a big profit from the different cost of fees.
In some cases students come over for only two semesters but that just sucks and you should really aim to spend a full year.
