When in Stockholm, don't visit Fenix!
Me and my friends were going to see a play this other night. Before the play we wanted to have a quick bite to eat. Of this reason we ended up at a restaurant called Fenix on Götgatan in Stockholm, Sweden.
At the door we were required, not asked, to leave our jackets at a fee. This wouldn't really be a problem. However, they also insisted on us leaving my friend's backpack behind. Now, this backpack contained a corporate laptop, a cell phone and a passport.
The natural question was of course: 'Will you take responsibility for the backpack?'
The natural answer would be: 'Yes, of course. Since we are charging you a fee for leaving your things at the door.'
The actual answer was: 'No.'
Hence we left the place in a hurry and I suggest you do the same. Even before you enter.

Moving
So, we have some things to care about before moving. My checklist:
- Buy tickets to Portugal.
- Get someone to rent the appartment.
- Talk to the landlord about subletting.
- Cancel the telephone subscription.
- Cancel the electricity.
- DONE -- Talk to CSN.
- Fix e-invoicing for CSN and rent.
- Fix appartment in Protugal.
- Fix the old boat so that we can sell it.
- Fix the new boat so that we can sail it.
- Pack and store things from the appartment.
- Give furniture away.

Hitchhikers Guide
I read from Buzz that there is a new trailer of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy out. Looks really good to me. I just can't wait to see what of the books that has been included in this feature!
Don't Panic.
When I was looking into this, I ran into a nice site about Douglas Adams. The site name is Douglas Adams Continuum and contains interesting information about both Mr. Adams himself and his work.
For us who hasn' t been monitoring this production from the beginning, the site has an FAQ available to bring us up to speed.
