I continued spending the rest of my day there, for what its worth.<\/p>\n<p>Dinner, at MG Road. Wonder if there are other locations to eat? I mean, I&#8217;ve extensively walked around the MG Road area, around Brigade Road, Church St, and so on. <\/p>\n<p>Today, I&#8217;m going to jump between the OpenOffice.org and Fedora project days, both of which are projects close to my heart. <\/p>\n<p>Of the 2,700+ registered jokers, the project days certainly seem a lot smaller than I&#8217;d have expected&#8230; Under-1000 attendees maybe?
