I found an internet cafe around the corner where I can use my laptop, so I was able to upload new versions of glom, gtkmm, glibmm, and gnome-vfsmm. Kreuzberg has 3rd-World internet cafe prices – 1 euro per hour. In a couple of weeks I should have a DSL connection here too.
On saturday I met Daniel Elstner and Frank Rehberger for Indian food and drinks in Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain, and on Sunday I visited one of the many artificial beach bars (the in thing) in Berlin for a late breakfast, with Frank and some of his family and friends.
