Three days ago Škrba founded oldwave as a mailing list on his employer's server. Initially, members are he, I and Boća. We'll add more people as we go. Meanwhile, on sezam they still function as a group and wonder...
Škrba: „I don't know whether you know, but sezam remains the *sole* provider who charges differently for analog modem access and ISDN on a single channel.“
SoniBoj: „Why did he after so many years ask extra money from sGradlj, I can't grok that. I can only connect that with the clash around the censorship on Forum. He played it too sharp, and I wouldn't be surprised if The Fat Guy just spited him. You spit me on my sistem, and I'll fuck you financially. Competely fits The Fat Man's M.O.“
Oh, well, I'm the reason why the "telnet only" light subscription was never allowed.
My ladies returned from Ser&Mo. I arranged with Željko to give them a ride to the airport. Called him a day ahead, he agreed on the spot, appeared when and where it was set, and that was it.
I awaited them at the ORF. This time it went smoothly. I guess I tried to put a few things in order, having returned two days ahead of them, but didn't do much. The tomato plants have dried, and so did the cucumbers and the purple hot pepers, I never found out how they look when they're fully ripe - nobody watered them for more than two weeks.
The photo is here because the ORF is a nutty little airport, among the forest and little lakes. What Douglas Adams says that nobody ever said to anyone else that he's as pretty as an airport - somehow doesn't apply here, this is quite nice. And even waiting here doesn't come too hard.
And then the agreement was put into life, so Škrba paid my sezam, and on the morning of seventeenth I appeared there, even in the chat... Boća then paid for the next year, then Škrba again, and then we finally gave up on the dead horse and switched to the mailing list completely. Of course, the sentence with which I announced myself was „Present and accounted for, but count on me as if I was fully manned“.
