This week Hamburg was blessed with exceptionally good weather, blue sky, sunny, 25 to 30 degrees Celsius, it would had been a shame to stay inside all days so I decided to at least partly work outside outdoor "open air" with a mobile internet connection and hack on LibreOffice. These were my hacker spaces on Thursday:

Hammock set up at Alsterwiesen.

Set up my hammock in the meadows of lake Alster, Alsterwiesen.

Sun is approaching, preparing to move.

The Sun is approaching the hammock and I'm preparing to move to a place where I can continue to be able to recognize what's displayed on the monitor.

Actually working with a notebook in a hammock is not ergonomic at all.. it was fun this time, but I wouldn't make it a habit, probably not even repeat. Hammocks are great to relax and read, but with a notebook either the arms aren't in the right angle or aren't free to move or the notebook hasn't the right angle or the neck gets stiff. Or all together.

On the roof of my home.

In the late afternoon there's a nice shady place on the roof of my home.

Life can be great :-)

LibreOffice Hamburg Hackfest 2012

Thorsten already summarized it very well and even Björn survived it, the LibreOffice Hamburg Hackfest 2012 was a great success, 25-30 participants hacking, building, exchanging ideas, having fun, too little sleep and Italo's pasta.

So let me just add that with the help of moggi I learned how to add a new file type's (here CSV) filter test to Calc's unit tests in order to prevent regressions in the CSV import filter that I lately changed to some extent and finished polishing at the Hackfest.

Many thanks to co-organizers Thorsten and Björn and of course all who joined and participated and made the Hackfest such a great event. We'll definitely have to do this again.
