There was a very loud student party just outside my window. Have to get up at 6:15 am tomorrow, so was a bit worried about getting enough sleep.
It's 22:04 now, and it has been borderline quiet outside for the last 2 minutes.
I guess they moved their party inside. How sweet!
We had a great Python User Group meeting last Thursday. It was our first time at our new location Technolab, which worked out great!
Thanks to Jesse and John for the interesting talks, and thanks for all who attended! Next time we'll make sure there's a little more time for 'social' as well.
On our website we've added links to more info about the talks:

Shout-out to my colleagues from Leiden University, University of Applied Sciences Leiden, and mboRijnland, who are striking today in Leiden and The Hague.
They are protesting the announced budget cuts on higher education, and represent the start of a staggered Higher Education strike that will continue at least for the coming five weeks or so.
Moin!
#Menkay Scetch. Kein #Schwein will für Speck, Wurst und Schnitzel #Leiden und #Sterben, auch wenn es in der #Werbung und auf #Verpackungen immer so dar gestellt wird.
Das ist #Betrug und #Verbraucher werden wirklich hinters Licht Geführt.
Sich aber über #Sojawürste, #Seitanfilets und #Hafermilch aufregen, da ist der #Medienmob dabei.

Volgens Patricia Kret die promoveert aan de Universiteit van #Leiden gaven de #Romeinen #vloektabletten mee aan de doden om vijanden dwars te zitten. Ze zagen de overledenen daarbij als een soort ‘tussenpersoon’ die moesten zorgen dat een vloek werd uitgevoerd.
