Scripting News: "Brother can you spare a Euro? ". The Euro has now risen to be on a roughly 1:1 with the dollar. That will make my trip somewhat cheaper. Speaking of which - I have discovered (it pays to look at the ticket) that my flight leaves Hannover earlier than I thought. So I need to get up at 4:30 am on Saturday and will get to San Diego at 14:30 pm (all times local). You do the math. So I am now looking for good tips on fighting jetlag.

ATM Globalization I found out today that I will be able to use my eurocheque card to withdraw money while in the USA next week. Seems as though this has been possible for a couple of years now. I used to work on ATMs back in 1988-2001 - so it's interesting to see how widespread they've become and how interconnected they now are.
