(Background: Braid is a game where you can do stuff, then rewind time and use your knowledge of the "future" to your advantage) As far as I remember, I only briefly played Braid as a demo, on my own, a couple of years ago, and I skipped most of the levels…

Coniston's network card died, and I was the nearest employee; thus, my turn to run up to the datacenter and replace it /o/ This would be easier if I had parts, or the tools to attach them -_- Wilkinsons do screwdrivers though, which is useful \o/ Though t…

It's been over a month, and apathy over writing about it has killed my blogorhythm :| The LBW itself was somewhat meh, with not a great deal of linux, touristy beer, and being far too hot for wandering.

This bit of css is so beautiful I am physically weeping tears of joy just thinking about it.

The hostel we were in first seemed to be falling apart (where it had been built in the first place) -- note chicken wire instead of railings :-/ Also, being in the furthest possible room (all the way along the hall, fifth floor) was argh.

Things have been busy, and I've been lacking network access for much of it...

First day, waking up at 5am, I spent much time packing cables, and failing to sleep.

Travelling with each of us having our own body weight in computing gear was surprisingly smooth; starting from the first station where one of the station-dudes put up a ramp, and phoned ahead to the next station, it chained, until the second to last stati…
