Author woes: Ugo lists our book at the bottom of his page - but only Carsten as the author. You know - that makes me sad Ugo - what did I do :-).

Back: Well after 2 weeks in North Denmark, where thankfully the weather was better than it has been in other parts of Germany, I am back and guess what - nothing seems to have happened. Now normally I am the sort of person who hates to go on vacation and it takes me most of the break to get used to having a break. Basically I hate being "away from it all" and of course nowadays this mostly means "without Internet". Wow the things that will happen while I am gone - our book will be number 1 on Amazon, my weblog will be voted into the "weblog hall of fame", the company will come to a complete standstill because I am not there, I will have at least 10 mails from people wanting me to speak in Hawaii, San Fran or Sydney..you know that sort of thing. And then I am often surprised at how little has actually happened when I get back. But this time I was prepared: Weinbergs' Law of Twins: Most of the time, for most of the world, no matter how hard people work at it, nothing of any significance happens. (Gerald Weinberg: The Secrets of Consulting). One of the books I read while avoiding the sun (I get itchy spots). Anyway - a few things have happened..so it's time to catch up.
