So, me and my girlfriend (who unfortunately is not that interested in
Python) are heading soon to Belgium, to the land of .. um, erm, I
don't know, EuroPython? We
will be spending few days before the conference in on about
don't-know-where-yet, which is to say, we haven't planned nothing much
so far. I know this is rather far-fetched, but, if anyone of you, my
dear readers, happen to be experts on being a tourist in Belgium, I'd
be more than delighted to hear your thoughts on where to visit. I know
that we won't have any trouble spending time there, but it would be
nice to know beforehand if there's some killer places to check out.
Tom Deprez of EuroPython has
been busy interviewing people: an interview
with Martijn Faassen and an interview
with Tim Couper. Which is nice, because I realized that I
literally don't know anyone of those attending the
event. I've exchanged couple of mails and IRC comments with few, but
that's about it. I must admit that I'm a tad nervous about the whole
thing, because I'm a bit shy and with English being the language of
communication there mostly, I guess, I can't lighten up the atmosphere
with weird jokes and odd humor, because I can't do that in
English. And in English, I mostly talk like the used-to-be-F1-driver
Mika Häkkinen, the true master of the Finnish non-accent
of English, which is actually kind of funny, too, I guess. You know:
very .. blunt .. and .. simple .. and .. slow. (Now you can
guess where my over-punctuation is coming from.) Oh, and did I
remember to mention that most of us Finns have a real low self-esteem?
(That's a long story, maybe another time.)
All in all, I would like to meet people there at EuroPython, although
I haven't got much original to say on the subject, but on the other
hand, I don't bite, and I'm good at listening. (I'm even considering
of placing a picture of me here to make you recognize me. Let's see
about that later. OK, there's one representative picture
of me here.)
