Teeth of Wisdom trouble

I went to the dentist on Tuesday and the doctor insisted on what I've been trying to ignore during the last two years: I need to have my four Teeth of Wisdom extracted.

A pitty, because I never had any kind of pain as they grew in 8 years ago or so and I thought I'd have no problems with them. Unfortunately, they never got to get out entirely, and now they are basically useless for my bite, and a potential risk area for teeth decay. They have pushed the rest of the teeth out of alignment, so I may have to get dental braces to correct this. I'm defering all of this until October, though. I don't want to be bothered during Summer with this...

My talk at Campus Party 2004

Some weeks ago, I discovered I was included in the list of people who were going to do talks in this year's Campus Party, although nobody had asked me in advance. A few weeks later I did get a mail regarding this, which I answered, but I never heard anything else, so I assumed I didn't have to do it in the end.

Well, it actually seems like they still counted on me, apparently, as I was listed in the time table to do a workshop on Debian last Tuesday. So not only they didn't call me to give me details on dates for the talk, but they also didn't remove them from their planning. I imagine participants went into the room last Tuesday, waited a bit for me, thought I was a bastard for not showing up and went back to their computers to play some more of whatever the current 3D bloodfest game is right now.

In the case that anyone at Campus Party is reading this: sorry, I didn't show up because I was never informed.
