Another nice weekend in the mountains - perfect weather, wonderful people, delicious food and a good time for everyone!

This time the hiking trip lead us to the Val Tuoi, just above Guarda. Check out the pics on my flickr page.

Thanks to all of you for the nice time!

Guys and gals, have a look at this year's march meeting footage! Brand new and exclusively produced for this meeting is the ski and boarding video, see below...

Go to the photo gallery

The Lavin alpinists can find the photos of this year's hiking camp below and in the new slideshow page. Now let's go the easy way and fill the rest of this post with some selected imagery:

Last but not least the pictures of this year's group excursion. Hope you all enjoyed and see you next time!

I am happy to announce that the photos of the latest Lavin ski weekend are now online.

Apart from this blog entry, which shows only a sample of the nice weather we had, I've put together a gallery at the usual place (The stoop.net gallery) unveiling the perfect meteorologic conditions we had throughout the whole week.

As a special goodie for those snobs of you having broadband access, try this slideshow (yagr, that was a hell lot of work).

No snow...?

... there you go!

Real man work hard

UPDATE: More pictures on my Flickr page

The first and hopefully not last workshop on Web 2.0 is over. Actually, workshop is the wrong word, since it was more a roadshow of web 2.0 related technologies and concepts (including Django). Anyways, I hope the participants enjoyed it as much as I did.

This workshop was held in our family's holiday home in the Swiss mountains. We had great luck with the weather, which was very mild and rather dry. The temperature inside the house was at some chilly 20 degrees C, turning the entrance hall into a cosy conference room (or cinema room at night).

Apart from drinking far too little beer (that will be taken care of at New Year's Eve, I'm sure), we also listened to a couple of talks and made some progress in the development of the Activity rewrite. The latter will be available in written form soon, the workshop talks will be put online as PDF as soon as I get all the slides.

A cosy way to listen to talks!

I'd like to thank all participants with special thanks going to my father and Claude Berner of Vitus GmbH.
