LB/2002 and Phenom

Well this week was a blast.

So finally the much waited Linux-Banglore 2002 happened. It went really great , and amazing response. How were the talks ??? Well I cant tell, coz I could not enter any of the halls. They were just jam packed and there was no place to even stand. I think the next time, we need to have the event in palace grounds.

My talks went very well. I was kinda nervous about my ‘Secure Programming in Linux’ talk, but managed to pull that off well ( with some last min help from fus. Spent most of my time at the event with brainz, fus and noelladsa. Was great to meet, the love birds of nagpur, tariquesani and swatisani 😉

The last day was followed by the Mega show by phenom. I know many people have said this, but really

Phenom ROCKS

I mean they have come really a long way from what they were last year. Each and every song.. so perfect, so fantastic and with that extra phenom touch. They blew away the whole crowd, with amazing lineup of songs. Most of the pics of the gig are up here. The can pretty much go Semi-pro now. You guys really rock.

The show was followed by a great party @ Winsor pub hosted by Atul. tarique has written what happened here. Thanks Atul, and Amazing work with LB/2002.

oh almost forgot to mention : Atul’s performed the Linux ( rather anti- MS ) version of ‘ Another brick in the wall’. Was really amazing, and atul, put up the mp3’s soon.

    Party@WP was hosted by the managers of the event, not me, so credit where credit is due.

    “Another Trick in the Hall” will be up as soon as a certain someone releases the grip his pudgy sweaty fingers have on the gigabyte of wav files sitting on his hard disk.

    Many people didn’t actually get the chorus line (though at least two people in the crowd did, judging from the shocked look on their faces), and I didn’t want to clarify it to the audience – God knows who would have taken offence 😉

    But it may be useful “education” to look up what the alternate meaning of a “trick” is 😉

    IAC, the lyrics are at http://atulchitnis.net/music/trick.php

    Videos safely in my possession, as well as the WAV files off your hard disk, and the audio tapes, and the first and *second* set of photographs (the one taken by the professional photographer) and the digital video recordings.

    Will all be duely processed, cleaned up, converted, etc. Will take some time.

    I am always game for a WP gig – let me know next time you are flush with funds. 😉
