Next step is to test, review and merge the stuff. It&#8217;s probably a good idea to include the<br \/>\ndebian\/ directory in our subversion repository, so it&#8217;s easy for people to build updated<br \/>\npackages.<\/p>\n<p>    My vacation (together with $GIRLFRIEND) was really good, Berlin is still a great city. Lots of<br \/>\nstuff to do, such as checking out all sorts of new architecture. What struck me was that the &#8220;new<br \/>\ncentre&#8221;, around Potsdamer Platz (where Sony, Deutsche Bahn, Deutsche Telekom and other big<br \/>\nbusinesses built their vision of a metropole) does have pretty much no charme at all. Good place to<br \/>\ntake photos, bad place to have fun. Far too much commercial stuff. Bummer.<br \/>\n    Much more enjoyable is Kreuzberg, which grew into a really good place to eat (especially the<br \/>\ndelicious breakfasts <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cafe-sarottihoefe.de\/\">here<\/a>). Also the people there are<br \/>\npretty down to earth, very direct in their communication, still friendly in most situations. And<br \/>\nterrific Currywurst at the <em>Curry 36<\/em>, probably the best one in Germany.<br \/>\n    We also visited Potsdam&#8217;s famous castle <a\nhref=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sanssouci\">Sanssouci<\/a>, which really looked like <a\nhref=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Frederick_II_of_Prussia\">&#8220;old Fritz&#8221;<\/a> wanted to banish normal<br \/>\nlife and create a place free of sorrows. Nice walks in the park though.<br \/>\n    Checkout <a href=\"http:\/\/vizzzion.org\/?id=gallery&amp;gcat=Berlin\">a selection of my photos<br \/>\ntaken during the trip<\/a>, partly even wallpaper material. :-)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So obviously I&#8217;m back from my vacation and already had my first (quite productive) working day.
