The first of two flights was late... However when checking the previous flights, it seems to be a common occurrence... Barely had the time to walk over to the other gate at Munich, let alone shop duty free. Sweating much... I guess I am the only guy sweating in the holding area now. Hopefully the connecting flight is on time.

wmhack was a blast. did a proof of concept to funnel requests from Wikipedia to local Citoid server so that citations can be made for websites that are otherwise blocking wikimedia server IPs. Now to finetune the setup and simplify instructions, so that editors can run their own setup easily.

next activity: ESEAP Conference 2024 at Kota Kinabalu. Effectively, I will have a layover at my home city.
