OLS Audio
Audio recordings from Ottawa Linux Symposium are now up.
Hopefully LCA2004 audio and video will be up someday.
For LCA2005 we're planning to do both audio and video. Ryan Verner is doing the video again this year. His production from the previous conference looks pretty good but the amount of organization required for good video scares me a bit. Personally I think I'd rather have moderate-quality audio promptly than anything else later.

Warm weather in Ottawa
I'm in Ottawa at OLS. It was very warm here yesterday, about 30C and humid. Meanwhile, back in Canberra they had the coldest morning this century, at a brisk -12C. Funny to be going to Canada for sunshine.
It's a nice city; charming architecture around south O'Connor St where I'm staying.
I was reading the National Post at breakfast, which seems to be considered a fairly conservative paper. Nevertheless, I read a very positive editorial about the government's legislation to decriminalize possession and use of personal amounts of marijuana, and calling for outright legalization. (I don't personally like it very much, but I think current laws are pretty silly.)

perl6
I'm in Damien Conway's Perl6 tutorial. He's a lively and entertaining speaker. It's amazing but it's awful.
I guess it makes more progress towards making any possible sequence of characters be a program that does something....
