    Sometimes I can be so dense. It took me way too long to figure out who ‘Mac user’ is. D’oh.

    If he can figure out ichat, you can send him my way and I can get his toolbar back. :)

    You’re not moving to IJburg, are you?

    Well, I’d like to! I don’t even know why. I haven’t rationalised it yet. I didn’t even know the place existed up until a few weeks ago. Still, it might be a little too quiet/remote for me.

    (ps. all I’ve done is sign up for a mailing list that keeps you up to date of new developments and what’s for sale.)

    Move to bleedin’ Dubbelin. You know you’re one of us, really.

    And you don’t want to see my list. Nearly all bad. And that’s before I deal with my truly frightening tax issues!

    Bring yer goggles! Watch the pretty fishies…! Oh, and make sure to sit at the window on the left side of the plane… Flying into Nice is absolutely gorgeous, right along the coast. Seriously, have a great time.

    Are you looking at that community you had taken photos of recently (built on some old dock area?) I loved the architecture. Very high design modern.

    Have a great trip, I’m really looking forward to seeing your photos.

    and tell that mac user to get off his too skinny butt and take a computer class.

    oh yes — as for your question about deleting spam while you’re away, are you telling me you won’t be checking in at some internet cafe on a daily basis? I can’t really imagine…

    I think I want to avoid French keyboards. :-)

    But I’m not gone yet, I leave next Wednesday. I have a few days to decompress first.

    So work asked if I minded coming back a day early. Yes I did mind, and no I am not coming back a day early. Gah.

    Had lunch outside at a cafe yesterday and it was if we were sitting in the eye of a swarm.

    Found out later that our table was right under one of those jars filled with syrup.
