I’m in Kampala preparing for the Open Source Journalism Conference (http://linux.or.ug/node/682). It’s an interesting experience because I’m speaking, but I’m also helping setup for the conference. I setup the sound equipment for the con, helped move tables, made an intro movie and all sort of other odds and ends. I am starting to feel some love towards anyone that sets up and runs a conference. It’s a ton of work. It’s 1:30AM and I’m not sure we’re done yet. In fact, Kyle and Simon are starting to get loopy.

We had dinner at a place called the flaming chicken where we had kebabs and rice, drank Mint tea and smoked double apple Shishas. I felt kinda human again, and it reminded me of Jordan. I’m really tired but excited to be giving a talk to more than 15 people. We could have something like 70 people tomorrow.

Did I mention how much I miss conferences?
