Just sitting outside, having a drink, just watching the world pass by...It really has been, and keeps on being, a splendid way to pick up interesting people :-)

This evening my new favourite information game (to be combined with real working in fact) gave me this, adding these two:

• On the Goodness of Unicode
• Characters vs. Bytes

to my list of things I will read when old-fashion-traveling (aprox 9 hours: car-train-boat-bus-subway) to London on the day they are cleaning the Chunnel and thus are not operating the EuroStar (sigh)
