Anyone going to there?

I'll be there on Thursday and Friday.
Although I don't know how much of that will be spent in DreamExpo's side... but that's something I can't tell more about.

    Just little update if any of our European members are going there.
    I'll travel to Jönköping in Thursday so I'll be at Dreamhack on Friday and Saturday and start return on Sunday afternoon


    And after that I've spent fair one month of this year outside Finland. :p

  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Im guessing its because its the biggest lanparty in the world? ;)
  • I will lol to everyone who goes there to play WoW... Which probably means I will lol a lot.

    Oh, and I'll also visit Göteborg so watch out Messiah, you might see me if you move lot around train station.

    Are you only switching trains, or will you be here a while?
  • E.TE.T Quote-o-matic
    Switching between airplane and train.
    On Thursday airplane arrives to Landvetter airport at ~1800 and train leaves two hours later.
    Sunday's train arrives at 1557 and plane departs at 1830.


    Looks like I'll be using some time in D hall at DreamHack.

    Leavin home in 17 hours... travelling shouldn't take much longer than 12½+1 hours. (one hour time difference)


    Any guesses how much Sweden's internet traffic increases during DreamHack?

    They'll have just 40Gb/s connection.

    (that Cisco's 92Tb/s router might be idling quite lot)

    So guest number 681 returned to home about 24h ago and might be again rested after couple long sleeps more.
    There was only [url=http://web.dreamhack.se/index.php?section=1&language=en]~10400 computers[/url] connected to LAN but nothing about number of visitors yet.

    Nice surprise, cheap airline Blue1's Avro RJ85 had actually very comfortable seats... (better than trains I used in Finland and Sweden)
    Have to wonder is it those extremely uncomfortable seats which cost more much with "normal" airlines?

    But I think Sweden has some work in their railways, train from Göteborg to Falköping arrived to there 8 minutes late so it was good thing there was 16 minute change time. And then train from Falköping to Göteborg had somekind engine breakup when it should have continued from Herrljunga. Also announcements are made only in Swedish so if there's problem you better ask conductor if you have to get somewhere, like airport, at certain time.

    Sounds like our JetBlue here in the states, prices similar to coach and first-class like seats.

    Hehe, a train that's only 8 minutes late, the day Amtrak can do that will be the day that people might actually start riding trains in the US.

    Part of the problem is that freight trains take precedence over passenger, if I remember correctly. Also because cities are a bit further apart here doesn't exactly make this nation very well suited for trans, especially out west. I do agree it would work very well on the east coast if they can get it running on time =P

    NZ has a similar problem with goods and passenger trains.

    I was on a bullet train here in Japan a couple of weeks ago that was [i]5 minutes late[/i]. Unheard of! You should have heard them apologising. The train made up the time, as well, and pulled into Tokyo right on schedule.
