Charles de Gaulle security is slack on this fine afternoon: went through security with half a bottle of water and no one looked twice at my bag.

Mark Shuttleworth pledges no back doors for Ubuntu [eweek.com]

Which is very good news.

"We don't do encryption to hide things; we do encryption so we can choose what to share," Shuttleworth said. "That's a profound choice we should all be able to make."
> Shuttleworth emphasized that on the encryption debate, Canonical and Ubuntu are crystal clear.
> "We will never backdoor Ubuntu; we will never weaken encryption," he said.

Only came in to this tiny bar on a relatively worn-down street (next to a bar that I don't really like) because of Paris Beer Week — beer cocktails!

Think this is one to note down though. They make their own infused spirits/liqueurs, and they do it on the bar counter in front of everyone. Great peated beer cocktail too, a very sweet peat note with a gentle richness like that of dark maple syrup, and a very slight smokey, grassy acidity to balance it out.

Table next to me shouting "OK Google" in French English into the guy's watch (Motorola I think).

Didn't work.

Ha.

@height8 Maybe I will, if he doesn't give me a good mark. ;)

Think I should get some sleep, I can read through these notes again over breakfast tomorrow…this is going to be one bad exam.

Informally: fish and chips.
Formally: sole, baked on a bed of cherry tomatoes, with yam fries.

And for dessert: tapioca pearls with sugar and nutmeg. The simple things in life…

@height8 Doesn't sound like that place is going to last very long.

@height8 Sounds like a massive disappointment to me.

@height8 Robust, but not robusta, I hope.
