Wacken & go

A tad over due but i'm back from Wacken: Open Air, which while being a great metal festival, was a tad too wet this year, and especially the first few days where a absolute disaster; However, over all it was a pretty good festival and i got to see some good bands.

I also decided that i wanted to learn go. Mostly because it has popped up a few times now in movies and series i watched and it all seemed as a interesting new game to learn. Yet again i'm confronted with the fact that i live in a backwards province and the only Go club around was in Bergen op Zoom, and when trying to contact them, i discovered that they don't exist anymore or something. So now i think i'm going to have to suffice with going to a chess club. I haven't played chess in years, and even then only played against friends, so there might still be ample opportunity to learn new things.

Also on another note, i decided that i was doing a bit too little GNOME stuff. On the local level besides translations, there is very little going on, and since i don't have the time at the moment to start organising things. I decided that i should do some gnome marketing/gnome web stuff. Which at the moment consists of helping out with the donate page. This incidentally led me to use scribus which is a qt/kde based app, for doing typesetting/quark type stuff. The workflow of it was something i was not accustomed to, but i soon enough got the hang of it, and will probably use it again if i ever need something designed for print. Between work, hobby, gnome and having a social life this leaves very little time to work on pet projects, but i guess since most of those projects have been on hold for at least half a year, they can wait a bit longer.
