    I'm still at the LBW right now, the event was very funny and avoided the hype going around Linux events.

    Just a bunch of geeks having fun together, sharing knowledge and drinking a lot of beers.

    Great party! I will definitively go to the next one.

    Is it just me, or does this seem like a REALLY bad idea??

    I mean.. crap. Hundreds of linux users setting up computers and then getting really drunk. I can just see this. People stumbling around drunk in the evening, absentmindedly tripping and falling into the spaghetti-cable mess between card tables.. and since everyone is drunk, no one can get them out.. so they remain in a tangled heap until the conference ends and they are discovered by maintenance crews. A quake game in which everyone is just kind of sliding around in slow motion, moving forward and then turning slowly (their crosshairs wobbling) to shoot at each other and missing. And then strafing into the lava by accident. A man stumbles in from drinking, collapses at his cardtable and wakes up the next morning with a throbbing headache in front of a screen covered in near-gibberish written sometime during the previous night that later turns out to be a threaded messaging cgi system written in perl. A weepy drunk guy, unable to deal with his repeatedly crashing X Server because he's not thinking clearly, goes and drinks to forget his troubles until he dies of alchohol poisoning. The SUSE team, sitting on the floor with the guy who wrote Kontour, halfconsiously swinging beer cans in the air and singing Filk in german. The guy who's been writing all those "BSD is dying" trolls standing and angrily yelling, his voice slurring, threatening physical violence against the one mac user who dared to show up for some reason. A bunch of british football hooligans who stagger around, challenge random people to FIFA 2001, lose, and then beat the victors up and smash their playstations. A LARGE HORDE OF PEOPLE GETTING DRUNK AND POSTING ON SLASHDOT EN MASSE.

    Umm.. damn. I wish i was in germany.
  • The towns of Apach(e), Perl, and Borg??

    What about trips to the towns of Java, Samba, and Ferengi?
  • I was writhing with envy at the thought of being able to pop off to Europe for a pub crawl, and it got me to thinking: absent of the transatlantic plane ticket, what's the cost for one person to do this sort of thing? (This would include transportation, accomodations, and of course beer.) There's a page listing accomodations, [ynfonatic.de] and registration [killefiz.de] is free, but what about the rest? (If anyone knows, just post your info in whatever currency you use [oanda.com].

    I'm going to request that Larry has 'Bad Mondorf' as an error message in the next release of perl. Can you imagine?

    % perl thing.pl
    Error compiling thing.pl: bad mondorf

    Go check the pics if you haven't a clue what I'm on about!

  • When I drink heavily, I can see Tux waving at me.

    Does this happen to anyone else...

    And Sometimes, when I get really drunk, uh, nevermind, I've said too much already.

  • I hope they are all having fun drinking their Linux Lager, Penguin Porter, and, of course, Slashdot Stout while I am working. ;)
  • This is the way we live in Belgium. First, we use our brains for good and invent a new standard for AES, then, we kill our brains for good by consuming large quantities of alcohol. Well, I know I did.
  • So a bunch of drunk geeks in a quonset hut throw a beer bash ...

    I can't wait to see the women.
  • I thought the actual name was the 'linuxbeerwanderung'.. one word... not the 'linux beer wanderung'. No?

  • Belgium is home to several hundred styles of beer. Many use wild yeasts and have very unique tastes. Good descriptions can be found on the website [beerhunter.com] of Michael Jackson (the British one).

    Food Network [foodtv.com] recently had a Beer Unwrapped special which showcased Belgian beers and dishes cooked with them. It was pretty good...for something hosted by Gordon Elliott.

    Chimay [chimay.com] and Orval [orval.be] are two brands which can be found in most parts of the US. Corsendonk is one of my favorites, but it's harder to find.
  • Up on the hills to the east, it's pretty cool. Otherwise, there's not much to do in Bouillon. It's a washed-up spa town for has-beens. But the castle is cool, and the youth hostel is nicer than average.
