Managed to escape DebConf's gravitational pull for a few hours; wandered down to Pioneer Square and watched ballet in the park over a salad.

But it's hard to escape.. Stopped for an expresso on the way back and in no time the conversation jumped from indiginous Brazilian music to haskell on powerpc. Then on the way back to my room I had an intense mind-meld of a conversation about the best battery choice for our respective solar powered dwellings.

.. And that was a relaxed 1.5 hour gap in the DebConf schedule. Got back just in time for the ledger BoF (double-entry accounting for geeks).
