Dear nntpcache user. I (your handsome moderator) am about to escape from perils of a summer in ``the planet's most livable city'' (Melbourne, Australia) and go treking about the worlderful world of snow, ice, slush, and imploding communism. I'll be hop-scotching though the US, Western/Eastern europe, Russia, Mongolia and China (in that order). If anyone feels like getting together for beer, vodka, Siberian bear steak, or just a good yarn, please let me know. What follows is a (very) approximate itinerary. Home-grown accommodation, a warm hearth, pulsating ethernet, interesting company (or a pointer to it) is capable of shifting dates and leagues. I'm backpacking through eastern Europe and Siberia, so no hovel, couch or spare room is too small (even in the SF bay area), and would be highly thought of :) 28 Oct 98 San Francisco 05 Nov 98 London 06 Nov 98 Frankfurt/Berlin 09 Nov 98 Poland / Slovenia / eastern-europe-on-a-shoe-string 15 Nov 98 Helsinki 16 Nov 98 St. Petersburg 20 Nov 98 Moscow (trans-siberian express) -> 25 Nov 98 Irtutsk 29 Nov 98 Ulan Bator 03 Dec 98 Beijing btw if anyone wants to step forward to moderate this list while I'm away (and preferably has had experience moderating a mailing list before), now would be an ideal time to do so :) Cheers, Julian. -- Julian Assange |If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people |together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks proff@iq.org |and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless proff@gnu.ai.mit.edu |immensity of the sea. -- Antoine de Saint Exupery
