I was not planning to have expenses right away, but I figured out that my company laptop was going to be crap, and running under windows NT which makes it a nightmare to configure anything on it. So I went to buy a desktop computer, a wee bit cheaper than in Europe, as I figured out that otherwise I was not going to be writing much emails, and also I was finding myself watching uninteresting TV, which is the most sorrowful way to loose your time.
First week of work I was observing qnd thinking and adapting... I was planning to do that for a couple of weeks but after just one week I am starting to have fully booked days, starting at 7am and not finishing not before 6, more likely 8pm... not good, but I really tried to take it easy, and I just can't...

Anyway, back to the computer, I am now writing on it. I bought it yesterday but I am just connecting to the internet tonight. Why? Because I am in a 3star hotel. They have wifi all over the place. Paying wifi. Bloody fakin' expensive wifi. The most economic I can get is 1Gb trafic allowance for aproximately 90 euros. And they call that a monthly trafic allowance. In my home town which I won't mention, you get 1Gb of trafic in less than a minute. Arghhhhh!!!!

But hey, now at least I can work offline and upload pics/emails/websites etc... Don't expect me on msn or facebook though, unless I use the free but sluggishest connection of all: that at work.

That was the IT entry, now it's over, I shall try to write more relevant things.

Like about the weather. I am not kidding!
