Brussels February 2026
FOSDEM time again! Always fun to meet friends and colleagues in the city of tasty beer and free tech talks!
The plane we flew to Brussels on was EI-DEM which I got a photo of a while ago, and it's also my tablet's home screen picture. Was cool to be sitting on the plane I took a photo of almost a year prior.


EI-DEM on the tarmac in Dublin, and also about to land on the tarmac in Dublin!

Comic Book Museum








Smurf mosaics!

Musical Instrument Museum






Fun instruments in the Music Museum


They even have the Irish name for the Uilleann pipes as Gaeilge, but they claim it's English. Grr






Tasty beers








Snippets from the conference








The beer was delicious and the staff are lovely, but the puppets can be a bit freaky


And a final two beers on the Sunday

After this, I carried on to Lyon, see it below!

Screenprinting, tasty wine, really cool architecture and a challenge to capture blue things!
