I'm still at linux.conf.au, attending the talk "Seven things lawyers don't understand software." It's good, but not quite as entertaining as the previous talk, where the speaker was dressed in a Star Trek uniform, and made an absolutely brilliant analogy between Klingon culture and Perl, and talked about a Perl module (called autodie) that aims to bring Klingon culture to Perl.

I'm at linux.conf.au at the University of Tasmania (my old uni), sitting next to Nic Suzor (who will give a talk on gaming+law later in the week), and listening to Pia Waugh talk about how to run an open source business.

And of course, being LCA, they have free (as in free beer) wireless.

I'll blog more, but possibly not today. I had to get up at 4:20am this morning, to drive my partner to the airport, and despite the two coffees I've had, my head's not entirely together right now.
