Been to Morocco, loved it
I didn't really want to go there because it meant lots of car (4100 Km in a week) and not enough time to enjoy and getting to know each place we went.

In the end, well, I went. And I'm quite happy I did it. It is a very interesting country where the first thing you learn is:
Hurry kills...
and lazyness re-kills. — Anyone in Morocco
We crossed the Atlas twice. Some of the views up there are just amazing.
We also went to the dunes in Merzouga. If you ever consider going to Morocco, you can't miss a couple of nights in 'Atlas du Sable' with Ali's crew, those guys make it very comfortable and enjoyable.
We also visited M'Hamid and that part of Morocco, that part was a bit harder emotionally. But it is still enlightening and a very interesting place to visit.
Last place was Marrakech. I loved it so much that I'll have to go again because two nights is not enough for this city.
Only complains are: Too many hours of 'car stuck because of sand' and not enough time to get to know any place. but all in all it's been a wonderful trip and a very nice experience. Their way of living and thinking is just too different from anything in Europe.
We took hundreds of photos, some of them are on my picasaweb album: http://picasaweb.google.com/fpereda/MoroccoTour07 .
If you ever have the oportunity to go to Morocco, go for it.

Having great fun
Hi all!
Ireland is so great (it has always been anyway :). Working with teenagers is a bit harder than programming but I keep improving my style haha. There's two more spanish leaders working with me and they're also quite good. So I can't complain really...
Of course no Gentoo work since I haven't found a network to connect to with my iBook. I keep trying anyway ;)
Alright... time to get back to those little devils.
Cheers,
Ferdy
Everything is packed up, see you in August
... I hope to enjoy there and come back with enough energy to work on Gentoo.
BTW, in August I will start an 'Alpha Arch Tester' subproject so probably some of you will want to join us. If you want to, drop me a line.
Donnie, thanks for answering, I think I'll buy it on August... will report when I adquire it.
Have a nice July people, see you in August.
Cheers,
Ferdy
Exams are over, and holidays start just now
Well.. it looks like finally the exams are over. The rest of today and tomorrow will be the only 'holidays' I'm going to have this year. Also Gentoo work is going to be delayed until the first days of August since I'm going to go to Ireland for the whole July and I don't think I will be able to either check my mail or ssh home. In fact I don't think I will be able to connect to Internet for the whole month. Anyway, I'm carrying my laptop just in case I found a hotspot or a neglected access point :>
Although I'm going to Ireland to work it is a strange way of 'working'... they pay me the trip to Ireland (Clonmel, Co. Tipperary) and some cash to spend there or wherever I want; I just have to take care of ~10 spanish students. Great chance to finish those books I'm currently reading or I want to read; and also a really good oportunity to 'disconnect' from RealLife(TM).
Since my memory is getting worse and worse every day I thought I could spend that money on a Tungsten C, It's a nice gadget and it will definately help me maintain a bit of order among the things I have to do... It's also got Wi-Fi builtin which is 'a must' for me. Any experiences with it? If any of you has tried or owns this device I'd like to hear from you :)
Cheers,
Ferdy
