Lunch With KDE
On Friday I had lunch with KDE. Would you believe part of KDE? Okay, how about two KDE developers and a five year old? The truth of the matter is that I was lucky enough to catch Zach Rusin while he was still hanging out at Aaron’s place and invited them both to lunch. And since school was out, Aaron brought along p-man.
Nellie’s on 17 Avenue and 9 Street SW is an arm’s throw from the Zymeta office so we met up there for a late lunch. In honour of my guests, I had a meatless breakfast burito, which I have to admit was as good (if not better) sans sausage as it normally is. Lunch was also filled with lots of coffee, (!blueberry) icetea, and some rather deep discussions as to how KDE should be packaged and what applications should come standard with KDE.
After lunch, I took everyone over to the Zymeta office for a tour. I was the only one lame enough to actually be working so it was a complete tour, without interruption. It was a repeat visit for Aaron, who simply dropped by one day this past summer, but since things had changed somewhat there was something new for everyone. Of course, for Zach, it was all new so I showed off the jukebox application, the guts of the jukebox hardware and we talked about how various ‘cool’ features were implemented. Overall, a great afternoon.
In my defence of lameness, it was mostly an admin day anyway and thus a chance to catch up on some paperwork. I was also able to find some time to overhaul the firewall rules, which was long overdue. And of course, I ended off the work day (and in this case, work year) with a little ‘Enemy Territory’.
