So here I am. Sitting in row four of the audience of the READ_ME Software Art Festival and they just started the keynote. I am supposed to give a talk on Blinkenlights later and have just finished setting up my stuff.

My computer is bogging me with failure and incapabilities. I can‘t use DVD playback in dual monitor mode and the program is either too simple or too complicated depending on how you see it.

The Keynote is read from paper. Not very intriguing. But the festival‘s organizers Olga Goriunova and Alexei Shulgin are very nice and highly motivated.
