I have just registered for the Dutch Open. This will be my first official competition since the US Nationals in July 2004. Should be lots of fun.
The Dutch Cube Day and Dutch Open Championships are being held in Eindhoven at the Mikrocentrum. BTW, here's a map of Eindhoven.
Have you registered yet??
The last craze over here, and the rest of the world it seems, is Sudoku.
I've seen advertisements with claims like 'the biggest puzzle craze since the Rubik's cube!' As a result, many people have been asking me about it. It did look like the sort of thing I would enjoy, however, as I only do things in iPAQ form now (e.g. iPAQ ebooks, iPAQ scrabble, iPAQ monopoly, etc.), I wasn't going to try Sudoku until I could try it on the iPAQ.
Yesterday when reading the latest Pocket PC Thoughts e-newsletter, there was an advert for iPAQ Sudoku. I downloaded the trial and gave it a go. Unfortunately, this particular Sudoku wouldn't run on my iPAQ. It should have been compatible so perhaps it was just a corrupted download. Anyway, not to be put off, I logged into Handango and searched for other iPAQ Sudoku games. I found Pocket Sudoku and downloaded the trial.
I'm pretty happy with Pocket Sudoku so far. If I'm still enjoying it after the trial expires then I will buy the full version.
I met a kitty on the stairs the other day. Isn't she lovely? The quality of the photo is fairly craptacular because it was taken on a camera phone instead of a proper camera, but it's still very obvious how beautiful she is. I call her Pretty Kitty because she is so pretty.
I was feeling a bit shaken and freaked out yesterday, but I feel fine today.
Peter and I have received lots of emails, SMS messages and phone calls from friends all around the world since the news broke. Thanks so much to everyone. It means a lot to us to know that our friends all over the world are thinking of us. :)
Unless you've been under a rock for the past few hours, you'll know that there have been some major events in London this morning. Explosions at numerous train stations and at least one bus has been blown up.
For any friends and family reading this, just want to let you know that Peter and I are okay.
