I'll have to shelve the Reefknot one until we've got a heap more to show, and I think I want to do a big rewrite on the e-smith one. Amsterdam itself is a nicish city, but I'm not sure whether I'd actually like to live here. It's a bit dirty, for one thing. But it was fun walking around all of central Amsterdam looking for bars and restaurants and stuff. The overall impression is of canals and mad bicyclists.
Traffic here is crazy.
Must be the drugs. One of the things I notice as I travel is that every place has its own local quasi-monopoly on toilet door locks. There's usually a certain type of lock which is used almost exclusively in institutions. Today's annoyance is that I appear not to have a PIN for my Visa card, so I can't get any more cash out. I'm back from San Diego and mostly recovered after 14 hours' sleep.
