London Update

Well I didn't win, but I got one guy kicked out of the game before folding myself, it was all in good fun. Afterwards I went to the creepy hotel and had a hot bath and now I'm in an iPhone store and drooling, I've found Davina and we're gonna have some food at Carnevale Restaurant soon, afterwards dancing :)

Delays

It's now noon and I should have been in London (well in an hour) so my trip is slightly shortened. I.ll ask

London

Great news! I seem to have won a trip to London!

The details are still a little sketchy but what I know is that I'll be leaving Thursday, January 31 from Copenhagen Airport 10:40 in the morning, arriving at noon. Then I have to play a Poker Turnament at the Century Members' Club at 3p.m. and then I plan to go sightseeing, maybe see some Banksy Paintings.

I've contacted a few Couchsurfers and already gotten in contact with a some, I plan to eat some nice vegetarian organic dinner somewhere and then go dancing.

They're booking me a hotel room but I'm not really comfortable with sleeping in a strange hotel, so I might just stay with a Couchsurfer in London instead.

At Noon Friday there's a plane back for me, I thought about staying longer, but the prices goes up right now even as we speak, and then I thought why not just go all out one night in London, might be fun.

Flywheel

I've just done a presentation about flywheels, I've used Google Apps and their Presentation tool, it turned out very nice, and for the first time I have something positive to say about vista (apart from it being a very good way to get people to switch to Ubuntu/Leopard) I plugged in a projector to Stanley's computer and pressed the alt+screen combination and both screens turned into a mirror mode 1024x768 (first time it asked me, then it just happened) I actually believe Ubuntu could learn something from this, as I've wrestled with my Xubuntu and a projector forcing me to log out and in again and sometimes loosing screen on the lappy.

Anyway, our presentation went very well, possibly because we'd practised and tested the projector beforehand, otherwise everything would have been disastrous.

Electric Bike

I'm doing a project at DTU about Electric bikes, It's very interesting and informative. Sadly the bikes are not in too good a shape, I've had the mixed pleasure of taking home a Diavolo for testing, first thing that happened was the pedal breaking, luckily it provided ample power for me to get home with a feeling of a light breese in my back gently pushing me past grey shapes that were less fortunate bikers.

The good news for this type of bike is the fact that you can put on your coat and bike away without having to wonder anymore about what clothes to wear than you would if you took public transportation or a car. You arrive just as sweaty as you would after a busride.

The bad news, apart from the fact that the bike is hideously designed, is, that you won't get any meaningful excersise, at least not if your a strapping young man with evertwitching legs.

The data for the trip from Copenhagen to DTU was 12,29 kilometers in 36 minutes avg speed 20,34 km/h
