Updated: Never — Philip's Blog

In an attempt to scare away some of my readers... No, wait. Scratch that opening sentence. Let's try again.

Today was a national holiday in Belgium (for some reason, has something to do with religions and dead people - neither of which I'm particularly enthusiastic about) and I couldn't think of anything more interesting to do.

I'm fairly pleased with how the hackergotchi came out. I'm not very good with graphics and I'm not all that familiar with The Gimp. There was a nice video linked from the Wikipedia hackergotchi entry, hoewever, which pretty much held my hand. The maker of that video may collect his free beer at the earliest opportunity!

For those who are interested in that kind of stuff: I used this image taken at Le Roy d'Espagne on this year's FOSDEM beer night. A screenshot of "the making of" is here.

If you aggregate my blog on a planet which supports hackergotchis, feel free to use mine. Please please please mirror the image though. Bandwidth to my blog is limited and it's a bit silly to waste it on my floating head!

Now to bed. Back to work in the morning and a bike-ride after a sleepless night is a scary prospect...
