So much time and so little to do. No, wait a minute; something’s wrong there.
So, Amsterdam was a hectic time for all involved. My ex-girlfriend is no longer speaking to me and all of my stuff is currently en route on a boat somewhere between Rotterdam and San Francisco. It should be here by the end of the month.
My work visa came through just in time for the acquisition of Linuxcare by Turbo Linux. It’s an interesting time at work right now. No-one really knows how a lot of things will pan out in the long run. It’s a very exciting time to be involved and I’ll be facing some major challenges in my job as we plan for the technical integration of the two companies’ infrastructure.
Sarah and I are off to New York for four days next week, and I’ll be going to a Sharks game with Tony tomorrow evening, so the seven days ahead are looking like a lot of fun indeed.
I’ve now experienced the joys of getting a social security number and standing in line at the DMV in order to obtain a California State ID, since people keep looking at me funnily when I present them with a Dutch driving licence.
I had my Koga Miyata Randonneur freighted over by the KLM and remounted the pedals in preparation for having a shop do a major overhaul on the bike, since I haven’t found time to ride it in recent years. I’m looking forward to making some good road trips on my trusty steed. It’s funny that having it sent by air freight cost only about 100 guilders more than having it shipped would have, and I got it within a matter of days.
