aKademy preps and swag.

So yeah, I'm obviously on a blogging spree. Meanwhile, aKademy is getting closer, 1.5 days and the most important conference of the year (to me, that is) gets kicked off by Lars Knoll in Glasgow. Tomorrow, I'll spend most of the day on various trains between Nijmegen (NL) and Glasgow. There's flooding in Northern England reported, so it's a bit unsure whether Adriaan and I will arrive in time for a quick meeting of the board in Glasgow.

Today's packing, charging batteries and printing stuff (I usually take a cheatsheet with me, containing address of the hotel and other things I might need on the journey) is pretty much the climax of the preparations last week. And some things aren't solved yet. Such as the Indian contributor who was late deciding that he'd actually want to go to aKademy, and who's visa was refused the first time he applied. This means a couple of phonecalls to India, faxing the same document various times and crossing fingers. Tonight, he'll hear if his visa finally is accepted so het can get on his plane tomorrow. Close call, let's all hope we'll see him in Glasgow.

Then there's lots of merchandising stuff that has been designed and ordered during the last weeks. A couple of t-shirts which will change owner in Glasgow to travel on to Canada and the United States and quite some other really cool swag. I'm sure you'll see some of this on the blogs from Glasgow in the course of next week. We're seeking at making this stuff available online, but not all the details have been sorted out yet. If you're looking for something really special for a gearhead, have a look at this page. I've got one of those silken pillow those, they're really nice (and you know what you'll be dreaming of).

See you on Saturday!
