Last day in Porto Alegre

Posted by Andreas Aardal Hanssen on April 19, 2008 · 7 comments

Kevin and I are chilling out in the speakers’ room in FISL. Later today we’ll head back to Thiago’s place in Sao Paulo before we start heading home tomorrow. It’s been a fun week, and I’ve learned a lot. I can’t wait to come home and get my hands into code again.

I had the pleasure of meeting some fellows from INDT here, they showed my some amazing stuff they’d done, and I’m bringing home a bunch of impressions for those who’ll be working on improving our UI. Since this research is going to be interesting for so many, Kevin also asked me to submit a proposal for this year’s aKademy. I think I’ll submit one or two proposals and we’ll see how that goes. Maybe one about our UI research, and one about Qt’s widget internals. We’ll see.

Now there are only three legs left of my journey. Sao Paulo, Frankfurt, then Oslo. Travelling north, it’ll first get much warmer, then much colder again ;-) . It’s around 12 degrees C at home, and my favorite season (Spring in Norway is quite amazing). Looking forward to coming home :-) .

Current temperatures are:
Porto Alegre: 17°C
São Paulo: 21°C
Frankfurt: 10°C
Oslo: 11°C

So it’s very good news: Oslo has now a double-digit temperature!

Its nice and sunny here in Oslo; yesterday I was walking in T-shirt. Walking around the neighborhood and then into the forrest led to the weird situation that I was walking on the left over snow in my T-shirt. Gotta love Norway :)

I’ve got a better one: start driving countryside in Norway. At one point, you find yourself in Spring-y weather (sunny, warm, leaves and flowers are coming to trees), then you enter a long tunnel, climb a bit to the mountains and, as soon as you exit the tunnel, you find yourself in Winter-y weather. Snow, trees devoid of leaves, etc.

Of course, then you pull over and take a picture of you standing in the snow in your T-shirt :-)

Andreas – the weather here in Oslo right now is amazing. I got a sunburn (ok – my face got a little bit of color at least) this Saturday, and on Sunday I was preparing my boat for summer! Oslo is not too bad these days :D

[...we could understand a little bit more about Qt and show some of our work...]
