Oops, I just had a tomato juice accident, when I reached for my glass I actually made it drop and it spilled a lot of tomato juice on my desk. Fortunately, there were no papers or books, because I had the good idea of cleaning up my desk yesterday :) The only victims were my phone, chess board, kleenex box, mouse pad and stereo remote. These were rapidly cleaned up. I'm also so happy that none of the juice spilled on the carpet floor! I guess I did something good lately to be so lucky.
Other than that, tonight was the Linux Suroît meeting at the Casa Grecque. It was fun, although we _did_ reintroduce ourselves since there were some new members. Not too bad anyway, it was a way to inform people that I no longer had a job :) I also used my second presentation to drop a hint about the famous "pipe and pyjama" story :D This made my friends laugh and caught the interest of the other people. However, I didn't tell it, it wasn't exactly the place.
The organizer of these meetings talked that he might know of a place with computers, a projector and a good internet connection to host future meetings, install fests, etc. He also mentionned that it would be interesting if people gave presentations. I immediatly thought about giving one on Ruby scripting. Most of these guys aren't programmers, so any complex stuff would just bore the hell out of 'em, but I think that a tutorial on how Ruby can help automize repetitive tasks would be very much welcome there. Most of these guys seem to know only how to make really simple bash scripts.
