Why I'm working for an open source product...

Wär doch furchtbar, wenn man seinen Lebensunterhalt nur mit Dingen verdienen könnte, die eigentlich Scheiße sind.

Oh, great.

One of the street guides for next year's vacation arrived today. Of course it is the old edition. I cannot blame the book store, because they had to order it from the distributor themselves. Luckily, US maps don't change that much compared to German maps. And strictly speaking it is valid until end of the year. However, a newer edition exists and I hate to use old maps. Yet, the distributor apparently thinks that it is okay to sell old maps. There is no way to get the current (last year's!) edition in Germany. I could mail order the current edition from the publisher, however handling and shipping is almost as expensive as the map itself.

Visitors and other things that happened last week...

Last week, I had doco and imperial_wolf staying at my apartment for two nights. They were travelling Germany by train for a week and visited the Railway Museum Nuremberg.
