On a more pleasant note, we had a nice walking tour of Brussels today. I started out heading to the airport (by train - my car is stuck in the garage due to this hostage situation). Picked up the wife and daughter, had a cab run us back here. We then went up to VUB to meet up with everyone.
We headed out on the tour after lunch - we had a nice, very funny guide. I'll have some pictures to post tomorrow or the next day - I'm too tired to play with the camera just now. Anyway - things ended at a brewery (only one running in Brussels), and that tour was kind of fun - although the warm air in one room triggered my jet lag and sent me to sleep.
Back at the Uni for the banquet and awards - the prizes went as follows:
- RoelTyper
- SqueakSource
- Intensional Views
There was a funny "10 things I hate about Smalltalk" speech at the banquet - things like "I hate how productive it is - think about job security!", but delivered in a humorous way. All in all, a good day.
