On friday, after visiting the Nuernberg Wiehnachtsmarkt and having dinner with Will and Lisann, I went out with Daniel and Thomas, who introduced me to some new people from Spain and Eslovaquia. We were in like four different places over the night, but we ended in the parkcafe, which I wanted to visit since long time, as it is very close to my place.

I got a Christmas tree, thanks to Will (who is getting a bigger one). My place looks really better with it. I will spend Christmas with my brother, who is coming from Paris after a hard semester studying. But he seems to have *lot* of fun there. I think I am going to visit Paris earlier than originally planned.

I booked a flight for Michael and me to Berlin for new year, that will be really cool.

Today, KDE 3.5 was released, and one of the killer features is webcam support for Kopete. The team has done and incredible work, specially the new younger developers. There is a visual guide introducing the new features here.

My University teacher Jaime, who was my MSc. thesis advisor, sent my this link to the presentation given by Dick Hardt, Founder & CEO, Sxip Identity. The style of the presentation is really cool. It is worth to see it. Congrats to him!

Today I bought batteries for my guitar digital processor. It has been a long time since I played “plugged”. After my brother opened the effects processor to fix it after it burned throwing white smoke. (putting in practice his new knowledge in electronics by that time), now it has its own life. It turns on/off randomly, shows strange characters in the LCD screen, and you can not turn it off without pulling off the batteries.
