[elasticband]

If any visitors rent a bike and would like a cycle round the city, i will be more than willing to act as a free guide I love cycling around Amsterdam

was enjoyable to meet people last night, enjoy the city and all it has to offer!

[Rassah]

Landed, got tickets for public transport, dropped luggage off at hotel, heading to the conference. Should be there soon.

Everybody is enjoying them self at the conference and I am just sitting here listening to a lecture about the RIP and OSPF protocol.

At least it's interesting.

Kinda. Not really something I need to know for my further job. I want to/will be a programmer, so why would I care about how the Internet works?

I just got here, have the couches upstairs.. Don't think anyone is here yet- hope nobody is waiting at paradox!

Edit: I'm wearing a blazer

So sad, I arrived at 21h, waited 15 minutes. I didn't see no one and because I was having no internet connection I left.
But no problem, we have lot of days to speak and enjoy  

BTW if anyone wants cash I can take your bitcoins for Bitstamp -5%. I don't have a lot of cash so I won't be able to cover big orders.

Just exchanged some Bitcoins with BitAddict in person. Thanks

Aw, dang, I'd wish I'd bought some tickets/kept the weekend free.

Having been up for 30 hours straight, I had to miss the second half of Thursday's presentations Sorry to have missed Trezzor presentation. I'll be going to

Thursday the 26th: Meet up for drinks and cigars at the sleek Bo Cinq Bar starting at 8:00 PM Site: http://www.bocinq.nl/ Map: http://goo.gl/tvxW79

Hope to see you there

If you are writing code for a telco it could help.  BGP is for the bigger players, but OSPF and RIP are still abundant.
It still sounds like more fun than sitting in a Heathrow lounge waiting on a connecting flight, which is where I am now.

See you there! I'm with about 10 people at Brandstof- I think most of us are heading that way at 9:00 but not 100% sure- I definitely will.

Well, you are right about that.

I hope everybody had a great day at the convention! Have fun meeting each other. I will be there tomorrow and I am excited as hell!

[Rassah]

At Bo Sinq. Don't think anyone else is here yet. Hungry :9 The two hours of sleep I got over the last 30 hours helped a lot.

Oop, people showed up! Were all the way back in the lounge.

[Inaba]

I'm headed over now.

[DavidBAL]

I'm headed over now.

We're in the back..

[Inaba]

I didn't see anyone and the hostess didn't know anything about it so I took off, gonna go find something to eat.  I'll probably check out the nightlife a bit later and see what's up around the area.

We're in the lounge in the back- talked to the hostess so she knows where we are.

We should make clear agreements where we meet and how late. To avoid things like this.

So, are we doing this tomorrow?

Friday the 27th: Conference has started, and likely plans will evolve, but if nothing is set into motion come to the famous Cafe Sound Garden (rated top 10 bars) in Jordaan at 7:30 PM for networking and chitchat (only a few minutes walk from conference) Site: http://www.cafesoundgarden.nl Map: http://goo.gl/YulcMM

Sounds good to me. I don't know any bars / cafes in Amsterdam, so I am down with everything

According to people on Yelp, a good place to wind down if you had enough of the uberhip (gentrified) Amsterdam, favoured by alto's and tourists, men with a pony tail in a ragged Iron Maiden shirt, guys with large beer bellies and arms full of tattoos, people with green hair and Englishmen who like to drink half litre pints. It looks like a squat and you can play pool and table football (foosball) there.
