Thursday, September 30th, 2004Progress on Uk Move
Wednesday, September 29th, 2004Well, I have been scouring the UK (remotely) for the past few months for a suitable place to live in, it hasn’t been easy .. the good news is that I FINALLY got an apartment, so … so far:

They didnt deliver my new Puter today :p .. and now they have to put a trace on for it, since they dont know where it is
just my luck
Bought new Laptop – NX7000
Wednesday, September 15th, 2004I just got a new laptop, it’s a Compaq/HP NX7000
Centino 1.6Ghz
1 Gb Ram
60 GB HD
WSXGA Screen (1600*1050)
Ati Radeon 920 w/64MB Vram
Wifi and Bluetooth
Since I left the USA I have been stuck using Windows, my Suse workstation is in Tampa .. but it’s all about to change, the Laptop comes with XP preloaded .. it will be automatically Wiped out, and a fresh Suse 9.1 Pro will be installed.
The laptop left the UK yesterday and it’s in Lisbon now, it will be at my doorstep tomorrow .. so I am anxious
feel like a kid the day before XMAS

Apartment I is out
Saturday, September 11th, 2004- Didnt got the Apartment in Swansea (I)
Yesterday I got an email form Adam, they decided to let the apartment to somebody else that came to see it during the weekend.
Quite a bummer, he and Claire sounded real nice people to have as housemates.
I still plan to call Adam when I arrive and get togueder for a Pint .. I also understand it is hard for him to rent it to somebody he cant meet first.
Well, it’s back to the listings .. hopefully somehting else will come up

Spoke with Adam about the apartment
Saturday, September 4th, 2004I am trying to get a flat share in the Uk town of Swansea, today I called and spoke with the flat owner, “Adam”
He sounded like a nice guy, he has informed me that other people have also looked at the place and he will make up his mind by the end of the month.
From what I know the place is in Swansea, it’s a new home (4 years) and the only flat mates would be Adam and a recent graduate called Claire.
The rent itself is 200� a month, plus about 20� for utilities .. which is VERY good ..
Lets hope I get it
