The preliminary round is over, the first 24 out of 56 matches have been played AND bet on!
And we already have quite some spread between the best and the wor… well non-optimal better … 27 to 16 points or 1.13 and 0.67 points per game, respectively.
Still nothing is decided yet … so keep up the good bets ;)

A Jaunty Jackalope on my Laptop [Update]
I got a Jaunty Jackalope on my laptop since Thursday …
In case you woonder … what the hack? … click the link and get your own new Ubuntu/Kubuntu release ;) … I got myself the one with the extra K!

[Update]
I had to remove the intgrated Network Management tool by wicd and disable the desktop effects, but otherwise I hope to have solved all issues by now …
In case you want some guidance for the setup, here’s a nice webpage with a lot of information about Jaunty …

First CERN Guide Tour
Just finished my first own CERN Guide tour … some people, mainly trainees, from the Swiss branch of a big pharma company somewhere in the ‘German’ speaking part of Switzerland had the “pleasure” (original quote :) ) to be touring the LHCb exhibition and the Delphi under ground area with me … was quite fun!
And there is more to come I guess/think/hope …
