Yeah well, its finally done. Im buggering off to France for a year and apparently I need a blog to tell people what im doing.
So here it is.
And now for my boring "FIRST POST"
I will be flying on KLM out of Sydney on Saturday the 24th at 330pm. The I will be over to Kuala Lumpur for a brief stop-over and then onto Amsterdam.
I will spend a week here visiting family and riding a bike around the country. My origional plan was to ride everywhere but ive been apparently told that the "end of winter" is not cycling weather and I would need a "arse of steel". I couldnt actually find a "arse of steel" on ebay so I guess ill have to catch some trains.
I then fly down to Marseilles and have 2 weeks house hunting before I begin work here with Denis Bertin at Universites Aix-Marseille.
I will be working on synthesising conducting polymers and constructing them into microchips and microelectronics. It should be a really funky project combining Chemistry, Polymer Science, Physics and Electronics. So basically ill be NERDING IT UP something cronic over there but I think that comes with the PhD territory really :-)
My plans are pretty loose from there. Julia will be coming over around Chrismass and we probably head up through Germany and Sweeden (yeah I know its winter). I possibly might be back in November for a couple of weeks. After that it will be back to work and then a number of months of travelling around Europe until my money runs out or I get deported.
So, I guess its "So long and thanks for the fish".

oo! you hath succumbed!
mwahahahahahahahaaaaaaa
all that nerdiness and Kultcha too!
and so it begins....anyone want to do some live roleplaying on the weekend? But it has to be at my place, Im washing my pocket protector and I get alergies if im away.
Ahh now im linked on Forbattle, all my dreams have come true :-)
yay drnik...I would come roleplay but I am sorting out my Star Wars figures into order of height, though bribes of coke and pizza and pretending we know girls could tempt me.
ooh but Coz, you *are* a girl. so there are two issues:
a) a girl at roleplaying; and
b) a girl who knows girls.
it's enough to make your head explode! and wear out all the pocket protectors.
Hi Doctor Nik!
I think we might have to raincheck on the farewell... maybe we'll come visit you in France. Or come visit us here; we have rocks...
You guys have rocks? cool, that way I dont need to bring my own. I was concerned about my baggage allowance :-)
Bonjour, Dr Nik.
That gives me a third person to visit in Gay Paree in February next year.
I´m assume you´re in Gay Paree.
If not, make it Gay.
Actually Ill be in MANLY Marseille, but feel free to come down, lots of sailors...
drive down harry, and stop at Beaune. it's tres bon. full of obscene amounts of wine, and a carousel!
then stop in Grasse and buy me some perfume. you know you want to...
I can not believe how inept you all are. I like most people our age grew out of role playing months ago.
P.S.
Can you ask some hot French chicks if they like Linux and if so, what distros they think are best? That would be tres sexy and i would tres get my rocks off if it was debian (stable)
Bistros. Its French Bistros. If I have to come down to the basement and tell you nerdzoids that one more time, I'm getting Pizza Hut's number barred from the phone and cutting off your porn feeds...
oh, so how nerdy is this. Flying over on Mylasia Air and each seat has its own little video screen, hella cool. Except the sytem is down so they reboot.
while this is happening I can see all the bootlog going through on the lynix and im trying to trouble shoot it...SOMEBODY HELP ME...I even wrote about it in my diary that I was writing at the time!
I guess the big question is... do you know how to do a second post? hmm? Or are you just not nerd enough?
(to that hoary old Dragon tune)
are you Nerd enough?
oooh oooh...
are you Nerd Enough?
No second post for now.
But just so you all know, im safely in France now after a week in Holland. You will have to wait for the second post until I have access to the internet from either home or work. So basically, until I have a house and everything running. Sucks to be you guys.
