July 1st, 2004
We've been on holiday for two weeks. We pretty much accomplished what we planned to do: as little as possible. Previous years, when we went to France, we saw every castle and every church (and even the odd museum) that was within a day's drive. This year, we got as far as the camping's swimming pool. And we hit the car 2 times: for animals, and for animals. Nothing as fulfilling of seeing a 2-year old's jaw drop when confronted with a giant turtle behind the window. Plans have already been made to relive the experience closer to home. (We already have year passes to the land animals next to our door).
To end a great fortnight, we gathered up with some life-long friends (as in: friends for over 10 years), along with their offspring, and paid a visit to one of the best attraction parks for small children. More jaws dropping in "Carnival Land" and, especially, "Fata Morgana".
When coming in on Monday, I was treated with the welcome message "you're moving all our code base from VSS to CVS the day after tomorrow. And by the way, you have to prepare the developers for this move in the mean time, too". Great. During the day, I heard a lot of news that came by surprise, and looks worrying and hopeful at the same time. We'll have to see how things work out. Quite a re-entry day.
The big move is planned for this evening (the developers have hopefully been prepared yesterday), so I've arranged for pizza at home to avoid a midnight cooking session. But I'm ready for it. Let the beast go!
