With the sold out DrupalCon Washinton DC getting closer, the community has to plan ahead. That is why the Drupal Association (DA)is looking on how future conferences in the USA should be organised (for example by outsourcing). But the DA is also giving the organizing parties in the EU more time to prepare to rock as hard as possible This year, the DrupalCon EU 2009 will either be held in Paris (France) or Maastricht (Netherlands, nearly Belgium :-) ) And today, the 31/1/09 all proposals should be in.

This posting is to inform you that the Maastricht team did their job and filed their proposal "Connecting the Nodes" towards the DA. The DA will decide if the DrupalSong will be played in Paris or in Maastricht in 2009. Either way, the community can be sure there will be a very good conference in the EU this year, organised by the community for the community. And where-ever the Con will be, we need you as an attendee, as a sponsor, as a speaker and as someone interested in World Domination.

Tilted Twister solves Rubik’s cube fully automatically.
Just place the scrambled cube on Tilted Twister’s turntable. An ultrasonic sensor detects its presence and starts to read the colors of the cube faces using a light sensor. The robot turns and tilts the cube in order to read all the faces. It then calculates a solution and executes the moves by turning, tilting and twisting the cube.

Cool! I like nerd gadgets like these. If you can make it fast, it might be in time for my Birthday... today :-)

I have tried multiple tools to "Get Things Done" (wiki). n teh end I just use mindmapping, since it is form me the most logical way to order items.

I started out with >MindNode, lots of eyecandey yet low on useful features. Then I went back to the Open Source FreeMind that I have been using for years. And it worked fine for me! But I still learn from pronovix!
