Thoughts on Programming, Life, and Travel

More updates to come

The camera bowed down to me, as I am lord and master over all things electronic. I think they know I have the power to break them.

I spent a wonderful evening drinking coffee among french, polish, and spanish company. The brother of my french neighbour has spent the last two years touring Mexico and Germany. He now speaks 4 languages fluently, and he can vaguely communicate in at least one more. I think I’m going to like it here.

    Socks, just incase you run into any Russians over there you should go to this site and find out the true meaning of your name in Russian. http://www.callme.nm.ru/ just type your name in the first open field and click the button below. I think it will help you out.

    Back to my minions.

    Itis now the 18th and it is 10.05 over here so I guess it will be 4 p.m. over there – We have not heard from you since the 17th so you are probably sleeping in. Who is Sir Colin and what did he send you? You cannot tease us like that. Whatever happened to esperanto? I am not sure if that is the corrrect spelling but it would have made life so much easier. you can always use sign language. As you know lifting an opened bottle of beer and saying “cheers” is a good way to start a conversation.

    Well played, greg. Well played.

    Cheers usually does the trick, but I prefer to open with the Swedish alternative, Skal. The locals here are all very friendly, I’ve had many a conversation with Swedes, although all of my conversations have been in english.

    Ok… I was sadly tricked into going to that Russian site. Been actually trying to explore more into my Russian background lately (yes, I’m part Russian, believe it or not) and I must admit that website did make me laugh a bit. Thanks for the humour, whoever posted that… lol.
