more ideas, a pinky ring, fancy cigarettes, a silk hankerchief in 
your breast pocket, and scowl a lot.  (if you don't look Italian, 
at least you might scare them off.)

(a violin case is a necessary accessory)

Maybe I should take an ex. She had Sicilian blood

She claimed she was descended from the one who set the prisoners 
free on Sicily, indirectly creating the mafia

If you do get pickpocketed, then you can call her in for reinforcements.

Yeah, she was doing security :-)

Projector: Mario told me he used it at 1024x768, so that works, but 
he's not sure if it works at 1280x1024 too.

usually it does work up to 1600x1200 or so ... the problem lays otherwise 
- the picture is shrinked (if that is the correct term). It  is like 
with LCD - only one resolution is native ...

yes, the issue is the sampling frequency on the signal (dunno if 
it is digital, i guess not)

1024x768 is good!

about reskinning the clock, I can't make it.... I'm too tied up in 
another project right now

Gabriele's live stream (probably):
http://www.colellachiara.com/devcon05/live.html

Rome currently GMT +2 hours - which makes it starting at 7pm Friday 
my time.  Much easier than before :)

mid day for me...


which means I get to see probably the first presentation and miss 
the rest as I tend to family matters

or rather mid-afternoon

8.5 hours before the pizza party .. good job I'm on a low carb diet 
!

will pizza party have live stream too? I would order my own pizza 
from local pizzeria, plus some beer and I would be "there" with folks 
:-)

Well, I would hazard a guess and suggest that it will not be at the 
conference room!

I can see Anton posting link for live stream - so quicktime plus 
website is preffered way? Or will there be VLC rtsp version? Or?

Gabriele says his skype will be on, but hasn't posted his skype account 
name

Skype for what? Video or voice only?

He didn't say.

Perhaps he wants to leave it to the last moment to avoid people spitting 
on him??

:-)

( spit = spam over IP telephony in case any is not aware of the new 
meaning of this verb )

now I finally fully understand :-)

I have heard Skype conference doesnt work well beyond a small number 
of members.


I hadnt heard of the Spit vberb before ..... sounds disgusting .... 
which is what spam over IP Telephony is, so it seems appropriate 
!

I've tested skype conferencing a bit and found it not to be working 
particularly well. usually one of us loose the connection when we 
are 3 attempting to connect

Maybe Gabriele just plans to have one connection at a time, for e.g. 
to ask questions?

I still think that main stream will come with QuickTime or VLC ....

Guess all the pizza is gone now .. and no updates from any of the 
conference attendees :(

I had Gabriele on the phone 20 mins ago, they where heading to Pizza 
Restaurant 8)

running late I guess

Pizza is gone. ALL OK for now.

Ahhh...

You attending Romano ??

If so, how come you're not doing a talk ??

I help to move people from Milano Station to Caravaggio.

Dutch to me

A train was lost, and Gabriele and Mario rent another Van to move 
people to Hotel

Oh ..

8 more hours before the meeting starts for proper?

But at the end, all people was at Pizzeria.

Gregg is giving two talks .. he should give up a talk for you!

I am not able to talk in english! :-(

must be someone who can do live translation

I  am the wedding in a marriage saturday, and tomorrow  i will go 
to the conference only in the afternoon.

I saw a lot of  "Rebol" t-shirt  :-)

I guess that's the easy way to identify conference attendees :)

I 2 hours I spoke with people coming from all the world: Austria, 
Denmark, Canada, USA, Argentina, Francia, Colombia, Belgium, Italy... 
 a very interesting experience...
