Now that I mentioned duelling tomcats (on burundi)... Looking a whole minute scene at Stole's, through the chainlink fence. Our Johan against someone's 1 graywhite. Beauties both, too bad if blood falls. They utter some loooong meouws, subdued and I guess horrifying to them. The graywhite is not ceding ground, and Johan is just gradually closing in, until he came to mere 8cm snout to snout. Then they stood like that for twentysome seconds, and then Johan slowly walked around him, made about face to the right and went to the third yard. When I say slow, it's such an elegant and almost unmoving gait, as I never saw. Looked like he took ten seconds for one step. No pause, no changing mind, surely treads where he intended to, just so incomprehensibly slow. I had to keep watching to make sure he was really moving.
Jan called today. Something about adding a new file to upFeds i.e. the setup builder's distribution [pack], which he didn't quite understand where am I doing it.
The situation at Firriver is chaotic. There are only two fox programmers now, him and Norman. Das's gang presently counts five people (was four last time) and is about to grow to three more this week, two fox programmers and one SQL guy. Someone has to do all those hl7 routines... The Toronto office grew to fifteen people at some point. My impression that Ralph is running the show and David is second violin is not quite there, it's much more complicated and he can't... not on the phone (technically it's skype).
Second day of rain, finally. We had no winter and very very little precipitation (poor english doesn't call it in its own language, has to use damn latin).
Been to Vršac yesterday, yet another funeral. The other sister-by-uncle (Aleksandar's father was the older uncle) is now a widow. I complained to Žarko how this whole branch of family is just a nuisance, in the last nine years this is what, seventh or ninth funeral, I lost count, and there was only one wedding. Speaking about that, how's your sister. Ah, married and now has a girl, two months ago. And you said nothing! That's when he and his mom look at each other and "you didn't call to tell?". Um, right, both the marriage and birth... yeah, right.
