Leaving Copenhagen fairly early this morning, we arrived at Græsrodsgården a while ago. I wonder how Poul-Henning finds places like this. :-)

There are twelve of us, and I think we'll have a blast. I have a feeling there will be quite some Lego-work going on.

Three-phase electricity, wireless, ... what more do geeks need? :-)

Slept in a bit this morning. It is surprising how much energy conferences manage to drain, even if you're just "attending" and not "organizing". I woke up for a while when my roommates were leaving for Legoland, and then fell asleep again for an hour.

Lunch at a "real" Chinese restaurant (the kind where you actually see Chinese people, not the buffet kind of place which Chinese people tend to avoid) with Peter Losher. Because restaurants in Denmark only open at 12:00 and not at 11:15, we were forced to have a beer first. Then off to Louisiana rather later than I had originally intended to see some lovely things I'd not seen before.

Dinner with Mr.E in Frederiksberg. I intended to take the yellow S-train, but it turns out they replaced the S-train station with a metro-station. This struck me as slightly unusual, but I imagine it made sense to someone! Of course I got out at the wrong side of the station -- despite being warned of this -- and synchronizing took a bit of time.

Before dinner, we took a walk through Frederiksberg Have and met a number of dræbersnegler which seem to be a bit of a nuisance around Denmark this year. For some reason, I was reminded of the Chinese food. :-)

Over dinner -- which was excellent! -- we shared some new mathematics jokes (yeah yeah, I know) and some computer archeology. Great fun!

Now I am waiting for my laundry. I hate domestic machines. But one of the things I like about youth hostels is the fact that you can save significantly on luggage because there are laundromats. Unlike hotels, they also don't charge a fortune for the privilege of using them. Now if only they could make them fun...
