The Euro, New Years, and Snow

There has been a lot of hoopla about the new European currency about to be brought into full effect Jan 1, 2002. I decided to head to the website of the European Central Bank (www.euro.ecb.int) to see what the new notes and coins looked like.

I'm somewhat dissapointed that they are going to release a both 1 and 2 cent coin - pointless if you ask me. They should have rounded everything to the nearest 5 cents! What is kinda cool though, is that each coin is the same on the back, but the front is different depending on which country the coin came from. Each note is a different size, meh! But they have some pretty cool security features - alas still made from paper. I still think the Aussies have the most advanced notes, plastic!

It finally snowed! Not sure how much, but around 5cm or so. Winter is finally here. Cold, but hasn't dropped below -5C, so thats good. It will be nice to have some snow for Christmas!

Bryna is starting to flip out about the New Years Eve party that is being hosted at my place. She's worried that only 6 people will show up ;) I'm more worried about people showing up who wern't invited - they arn't getting in! The whole reason behind inviting people was so that only our friends would be there. I wont have to deal with people trashing the place, or ruining the night for everyone.

Going to email Toni today - haven't heard from her in a while. Wondering whats up. Also going to give Jen an email - she will be leaving for Australia soon! I'm in such a traveling mood! I am getting some people at work to design me a nice traveling website. I somewhat want it to be cool looking, and I dont really have the skills to design a nice looking website. Should be getting it up and running sometime in February. Going to post all my Australia pictures on there, plus its where my plans for future travels and photos are going to go.

InfiniteLoop is growing nicely. People seem happy with the service - that makes me happy! I'm predicting that things will start picking up after Christmas. I'm going to push with some advertising, more towards the Australian market.

I'm in a reading mood! Think I am going to head up to Chapters and buy some books. Something of the technology nature, which is going to be expensive :/ Meh! Just need to get out of the house.

My room is a mess again, seems like I can't keep it clean from one weekend to the next.

Snail Mail

Which is faster Poste Italiane or Posta Citta del Vaticano? I test this travelers' myth.
