The #1 house in our row, where Les was, already has „for rent“ in the front window. The landlord wastes no time. The guy announced long ago that he'd leave, the maintenance was close to nil, what broke didn't get fixed... and now when Les decided to lift anchor, the landlord started offering towers and cities, but too late. He's gone.

On oldwave, about Moody Blues:

I just have an impression that some new kids* would just scratch their heads and wonder what's wrong with these geezers to have the hots for variety orchestras :)))

I'm scratching mine even today... and for fifty seventh time put them back on the playlist, then kick them out because of those orchestras

To me they look like the scene in Heaven's gate, when comrade cowboy brings the youthful Izabel Iper* into his crate in Cunting Creek, spruced up (the crate, it's understood for Izabel) as he knew how - newspapers pasted all over the walls, because he heard one should have that wallpaper.

Ie how does little Đokica imagine a synthesis of rock and serious music...

Jan reports that the booth has safely returned from the ESHRE in Rome. Laura says, later, about FB#1419 „so there's nothing wrong with the fact that I can't select the windows menu and switch between windows“

Jan: I did not say that... but you already have created a new FB, sdo I'll address this specific issue in that new FB

(there, he's learned the tactic - do exactly what it says, not what you know it should mean)

15:10:53 David Tomorrow--Reminder: like to have a general call (ESHRE summation)..tomorrow in Toronto morning...9:30 if possible

15:11:29 Jan - If you bring me a birthday cake... I'll be there :)

15:11:45 David - (^)... I believe one of our last chances to have Gradivoj too before he moves continent

The trafo to adapt 220V to 110 arrived. Though almost all of the electronics nowadays operate at both systems, it takes only an adapter plug, there are a couple of things, the embroidery robot sewing machine among them, which don't. And it cost only 15$. It's heavy as a devil, two kilos at east, it's a classical trafo and not an electronic chopper, which means that many grams of other stuff we won't carry.

Hana stepped on a mine, my Vault profile on the support server was the only one there (there's at least three profiles on dev), so she reconfigured it some before noticing it was mine. In the end it turned out that we don't need separate profiles - I use only one branch of it, the web app deploy, everything else is hers.

I got disconnected while we talked. They said it will happen when they switch the contract from me to Nina, and they just had to do it during a conversation. Even though it doesn't require any rewiring, it's just a change in a record in the database.

Talked with my folks at home on skype, briefly, the connection was bad. At least we heard each other.

Lunch was light, pizza from ready dough, thin. Or maybe we got it from some pizza joint.

Gary and Lena liked my quip of 'if „I love you so“ means strongly, then „I love you so-so“ must be twice as strongly', but it gained a different meaning over time...
