-==== In Wales ====
-
-Araf! I'm currently host of my good friend Cristina and
-her husband, in the small town of Llanon, near the city
-of Aberystwyth.
-
-I asked for directions outside Birmingham: "I'm going to a place
-whose name I can't even pronounce". "Sounds like Wales, then"
-said the man I had stopped.
-
-Anyway, the place is nice. It would be much nicer if it stopped
-damn raining, but, you know, this is the United Kingdom after all.
-
-This reminds me of a funny story: as usual, yesterday I drove
-out of the parking without looking in the wrong direction.
-This time, a car passed by cursing me with its horn. So I
-finished my manover, of course going to on the right lane
-by force of habit.
-
-At this point, the car in front of me stopped, and I noticed
-it was strangely colored with yellow and orange stickers.
-A uniform came out and at this point I realized it was a
-policeman.
-
-He walked to my window, bearing a very serious face.
-Finally, he told me: "don't you know how to drive?
-You're supposed to stay on the *left*!"
-
-Promptly, I replied: "Err... Sorry... I'm used to
-drive on the right, you know? It's my first time in *England*!"
-
-And the policeman, even more serious: "You mean in Wales,
-don't you?". He'd probably close an eye for driving on the
-left, but not for calling his homeland England!!! :-)
-
-Well, driving on the left is a pleasant experience.
-And it's not even as hard as I thought: anybody not too much
-attached to their lives should give it a try!

-==== Trip to Europe ====
-
-I booked a round-trip flight to London. Departure on July 14th, return on August 7th.
-
-I'll stay in England for a few days to attend to the GuadecConference in Birmingham and visit
-my friend Cristina in Aberystwyth, Wales.
-
-I'm looking fwd to see all my Italian friends soon! I've not yet booked a flight to
-Italy, but I've got an appointment at the US Consulate in Florence for July the 26th
-for a B1 (non immigrant business visitor visa). This will hopefully extend my
-permanence another 6 months.
-
-
-==== Bender KO ====
-
-Ok, bender has been down again for some time. Someone must have fixed (e.g. rebooted)
-it during the weekend. Thanks.
-
-But I'm very curious what's wrong with it. Last time, mostro reported that dhclient
-had lost the IP. Is it dhclient, then? Or the dhcp server in the dlink modem?

-
-==== Shakers ====
-
-Today we went to NewHampshire for a trip. The original plan was to
-camp somewhere, but the weather sucked, so instead we went to see the
-village of the Shakers:

-
-Pretty interesting.

-==== GUADEC 2007 ====
-
-Since I'm basically forced out of the UnitedStates, I guess I could go here:
-
- http://www.guadec.org/
-
-I've never been a strong Gnome supporter. Actually, I've not
-even been a Gnome user until lately.
-
-Then why? Well, one reason is that it's in Birmingham, next to
-where my friend Cristina lives. She invited me so many times
-to visit her in England, and I really wanted to, but I never
-had the opportunity to do it in so many years.
-
-Another good reason is that some of the OLPC people will be
-there. And I'll be able to meet many other non-OLPC hackers
-too.
-
-If you want to come over, please contact me.
-
-==== Body mass ====
-
-My body mass increased to 154 pounds. Or the gravity
-of earth increased just too fool me.
-
-==== GPLv3 ====
-
-I've updated the license of PikiPlus to GPLv3, and I invite
-you to do the same with your programs and with any programs
-distributed under the GPLv2 with the "or later version" clause.
