I wrote my last exam on Tue night and We afternoon headed to the airport to get to Spain for the WebKitGtk hackfest at the Igalia offices. At this time, stuck in Frankfurt airport after missing my connection.

After the hackfest I’m doing a mini tour of Western Europe, thanks to RailEurope. Mostly visiting friends and family. Currently looking like: Frankfurt -> Kassel -> Paris -> Brussels -> Amsterdam -> Hanover -> Berlin -> (Maybe) Zurich.
