Flight from Nuremberg to home went pretty much fine, Duncan guided me to the airport (thank you! )  flight was on-time (as everything in Germany ;) ) and except for the some rude customs and misleading instructions at the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris that lead me to almost losing my flight, everything went just OK.

A *HINT* for AirFrance , landing at $RANDOM terminal,specially when it is not in the map of a 32.38 km² airport, without notifying your customers in advance is not the right way to do things !!

Back to Chile, after having a lot of fun during Chile's Fiestas Patrias and recovering from jetlag (which is worst when you return), I'm back to regular work this week ;-) and will assist to some events, on Friday 26 (evening) there is a "developer coffee" at the University of Bio-Bio, on saturday is the Dia del software libre at Santo Tomas University, as I have been really busy the last few weeks, there will be no talk from me, just some free openSUSE DVDs :-D

That's all for now ... Thanks to all folks in Nuremberg that made my trip pleasant as possible, special thanks to Andreas Jaeger, Ducan Mac-Vicar, Hendrik Vogelsang and Marco Michna . Also is worth to mention the service from assist-card travel insurance company that sent me a doctor to the hotel faster than  expected when I (unfortunately) needed it.

I will be at the SUSE office in Nuremberg during Hackweek and later will assist to the "Master of Sandtown'  outdoor event in czech republic  yay !! :)

This is my first trip outside South America :-O  I will arrive on Sun , Aug 24 after a 26 hour flight (CCP -> SCL -> CDG --> NUE), see ya ;)

On monday, it is mom's birthday, I will take a flight (CCP-> ZCO) today, friday evening to see her, it just takes 30 min :) will be back home on Tuesday evening.

Also, I will probably do some new talks at the 2° encuentro linux y Software libre 2008, to be held at the CFT Lota Arauco, between Aug 29-30. :-)

The summer is getting more and more weird every year, just a few days ago we had around 38 °C and today lots of rain.. in order to escape from the annoying heat that since about 8 years raises to  40 °C + in the second half of January I will take some vacation days to make a loooong distance travel by plane to Arica , around 2800Km from here.

I 'll depart on Jan 15 and will be there in about 6 hours yay!    will try to visit nice places like Humberstone , the Chungará Lake if altitude sickness dont hit me of course ;) although my main interest is trying to visit  Machu Picchu in Peru, unfrortunately this may or not be possible.

I 'll be back at work on Jan 24 and back home on Jan 30. February will be the last month living with family and is probably a good idea to share with them a litle bit more, by the end of the month I will move back to Concepción in order to make some interesting personal life changes.

This is my second try on blogging..  hope it goes well.  ;-)
