To all my followers I’m in a bar in #brussels where we go on #FOSDEM
Can you guess where I am?

My collection of stickers, flyers and pencils I collected on #FOSDEM last weekend.

#PostgreSQL Slonik and #Geocaching Signal playing a game of #Chess at the #FOSDEM PGDay venue in #Brussels. Everyone has fun!

Finally found an open #icecream parlor in #Brussels! Can't leave #FOSDEM without ice cream!

@ La Gaufrerie, Brussels, Belgium

The waiter took forever to bring every order, or to even show up for an order. But anyway, got #icecream.

Actually, got two: my kid ordered one, and then found out he does not like the caramel. Had to eat both. Poor me...

@ Café Le Cirio, Brussels

Tarte Tatin with ice cream, and whipped cream

Finally found #icecream in #Brussels! On top of waffle and whipped cream.

Had to eat a starter and a full meal, just to get to that point.

Updated my #PostgreSQL @ #FOSDEM blog posting, and added talks which are related to PostgreSQL.

It's your guide where to find what when you are in #Brussels.

There are thousands of tractors parked in the European quarter for the farmer protest #FOSDEM #Brussels

Delirium Cafe is a lot less busy on a Wednesday night compared to a Friday night.

Success! I met up with @paolo for a beer at Delirium Cafe.

From my Airbnb I can see the farmers protesting by driving their tractors through the streets of Brussels.

#Belgium, and especially #Brussels, has a well-earned reputation for being dominated by cars. (A quarter of all employees have company cars.)

But things are changing: four out of 10 workers now do at least part of their commute by bicycle.

My shirt just arrived... You'll probably easily find me :)

You will recognise me by an ugly Christmas sweater or I'll wear a shirt with my avatar (depending on if I'm freezing).

Just an important note for everyone who'll come by car - keep in mind that you need an approval/permission to enter the environmental (low emission) zone in #Brussels (#Belgium) by car.

If your car mets the conditions you can register your license plate for free here: https://lez.brussels/mytax/en/

See you soon!
