I've just got back from Cologne, Germany, where I have attended the Linux Audio Conference 2008. We (me and Marta) have decided to be there at the very last minute, but we're really glad we did it.

Wonderful atmosphere!

Now I feel even more inspired and motivated to keep contributing to this passionate community.

By the way, here are some pictures of the trip.

I'm helping Dr. Richard Boulanger with the cSounds.com website. We've rebuilt it from scratch using Drupal. Be sure to check it out, make an account and participate!

Recently, I also wrote some opcodes to read and write images (in PNG format) from within Csound. They are in cvs now and will be included in the next stable release (5.08). I've put up a dedicated page where I'll document my future efforts in Csound opcodes development.

Last but not least, three weeks ago I received a XO laptop (a B4 prototype) to test some music-related "activities" I'm developing for the One Laptop Per Child project.
