iPhone launch Wellington - New Zealand

| | Comments (0)

some pictures from the iPhone launch down here in Wellington. The queue was about 150 guys long and was well treated by Vodafone staff. It was only around 10 degrees down here and Vodafone served coffee and provided caps for the freezing queue.

At midnight the store opened and the first in line - and only the first - entered the store to get his iPhone. It took about 20min till he came out again. I am curious how long it took the last guys to get their phones :-)

a good friend is gone ...

i read about it today and still have a sms from him from last week. bernd luevelsmeyer, a good friend of mine, is gone. he was probably one of the most important influences in my work live and guided me on my way to UNIX and the console. he was the best sysadmin i ever had and was always a good friend.

sad to see the real geeks leaving this planet.
