We, my sister and me, were back around 3:30 in the morning but we woke up at 9 to head again to Rock Werchter for the final day bringing Depeche Mode. Looking back at yesterday: the crowd was good, the weather was fine and the bands great! Pictures of Day 3 It must be said that the line up of last year was a bit more impressive. Though, the youngsters of Arctic Monkeys did a good job shaking the Main Stage awake.

For those following this blog and wondering where ‘day 1’ disappeared too: we didn’t go! Indeed! We missed Tool, Deftones, Manu Chao and Red Hot Chili Peppers! Why? Because there was this ceremony of my sister’s school where the last years were getting their end results. It was her final year, so I had to be there. Be we missed Tool and the Peppers! But this post was about ‘day 2’ of Rock Werchter, which was a nice, sunny day where the shadows were popular and a breeze a relieve.

I’m using my own iPod to get my own music to my own iTunes on my PowerBook: it does not work! You can’t just simply select an album and import drag and dropping it into your Library. Maybe I’m missing an option somewhere. I really don’t want to sync automatically because that means you will mostly loose all your music on your iPod first (see previous post).. Anyway, I’m doing tricks by showing all hidden files in Finder, then copy them to disk.

Yesterday I visited Bonn after attending FrOSCon (conference). I knew that I was going to see some happy fans since Germany won against Sweden with 2-0. Happy fans is a bit understatement: everybody was celebrating and going crazy! One wonders how they going to react when they are actually victorious in the final game (if they reach it of course). Seeing how they are passionated about it now, I wonder how the feeling is going to be when they would lose the next game!

An hour ago I ended my 45 minutes MySQL Cluster Introduction talk at the Free and Open Source Software Conference (FrOSCon). I tried to really make this a compact, more or less complete overview. Apparently it worked! MySQL Cluster is quite a beast to talk about. Doing this in 45 minutes, with 15min extra for questions, is not an easy task. You can check my presentation on the FrOSCon website of the presentation.
