LCA09 - hectic first day

Well, pretty sure I was in the last batch of people to turn up today. Conference officially starts tomorrow but there were two days of tutorials on the Monday/Tuesday which the majority attended. I managed to make it to the latter-half of the security tutorial which was good. I still need someone to explain to my how SELinux isn't completely overkill in real-world situations.

New netbook (eeePC 1000h) is going well - except the microphone refuses to work under Ubuntu. I've had to resort to dual-booting back into XP to get my Skype fix. Hopefully I'll be inspired by all the geekyness here this weekend to fix it.

Tomorrow the conference sessions start and I'm hoping to get an early rise happening with a walk around campus before breakfast. Hopefully it will make up for all the squash I'm missing out on back home. University of Tasmania has to be the hilly-est University I've ever seen so its a decent workout just getting from A-to-B.

Talk soon.
