Div: June 2003 Archives
The car has been thoroughly checked, my colleague has been informed of ongoing issues at my job,... I guess I am almost ready for holidays. There are only three things left to arrange before I will dissapear for two weeks.
First at home. Tomorrow I will clean our house and do some shoppings (we only have yoghurt and beer in the fridge!). I also have to ask our neighbours to take care about our plants; they are very thirsty with this weather.
Then I have Fimcap. I need to finish the on-line edition of the Link magazine June edition. Besides that I need to activate a page I already created on which you can read live news from the World Camp, a Fimcap activity for youth animators in the Philipines. During the world camp, participants will write their stories on this page. Photos will be added later by the webmasters (of which I am one), since editing pictures, uploading them and creating the right HTML code is too difficult. I could have used some advanced blogging tool, but decided that for the moment NewsPro will do the job.
And finally I have to prepare the trip. We decided to go by car to Croatia, with a stop in Milano to visit Roberto. And that is about all we decided and have prepared so far. We don't know which road to take, what we can visit and where to stay in Croatia. I hope that MJ was able to buy a copy of the Lonely Planet guide, because than I will have good faith in our trip.
Anyway, I am almost ready. The next two weeks it will be very quiet on this web site!
I always thought that the Internet would not be suited to learn a language, because it is better to learn from a real teacher who can explain things to you.
Once again Mark Pilgrim is two steps aheadt of everybody. First, he started a spanish site, to practice his Spanish a little bit (I know, I should also write in Spanish on this site), and I suspect also to have a good excuse to design a new site.
After anouncing this new site, a second message for the Spanish speaking readers appeared, asking for Spanish curse words, dirty words and insults. I guess he just wants to built a filter for the comments on his new site.
Anyway, the amount of reactions and the contents of these reactions is impressive! I learned some wonderfull new expressions (the best/worst untill now: "Estás tan buena que te comería la regla a cucharadas"), and surely will keep on watching the new comments on this post!!!
