| schestowitz | If he doesn't go public much, should one bother trying an invitation? Also, his expertise and stance is quite different from mine. | Aug 15 16:35 |

| schestowitz | PJ cites him a lot, I don't know quite why... | Aug 15 18:41 |
| schestowitz | Speaking for myself, after I finished my Ph.D. (I had slowed it down to the extent I could) I find myself losing many valuable hours in personal life and work. Today I bought a basket for the bicycle I bought for my soon-to-be-wife - we plan to put our new labrador puppy in it... got his collar and name tag already. | Aug 15 18:41 |
| schestowitz | > We used to be in the same groups, especially the Open Document Fellowship. | Aug 15 18:58 |
| schestowitz | From what I was told by Charles, the ODF stuff is dead in the water now. | Aug 15 18:58 |

| schestowitz | > Excellent. There's also a kind of metal rod that attaches to the bike | Aug 15 18:58 |
| schestowitz | > with a sturdy spring and to the dog on a short leash. It allows the | Aug 15 18:58 |
| schestowitz | > dog to safely trot along side the bike. A quick search of the net | Aug 15 18:58 |
| schestowitz | > shows that there might be several kinds. A pet shop or bike shop | Aug 15 18:58 |
| schestowitz | > might have them. | Aug 15 18:58 |
| schestowitz | I will take a look at a later day. When the dog grows bigger and is no longer a puppy, we will need to think of other ways to take him with us to trips. | Aug 15 18:58 |
| schestowitz | > Speaking of the big event, you mentioned on Techbytes that it would be | Aug 15 18:58 |
| schestowitz | > in less than a month. Before that, the last I heard was that it would | Aug 15 18:58 |
| schestowitz | > be in December. Has it been moved up? How long will you take off | Aug 15 18:58 |
| schestowitz | > afterwards? | Aug 15 18:58 |
| schestowitz | I will be away for at least 2.5 weeks, maybe a month. I will need you to take care of the site, bots, etc. You can write articles too. | Aug 15 18:58 |
| schestowitz | A wedding around xmas would have been complicated, so baptism is scheduled (for her) Sept. 1st and the ceremony 2 days later. | Aug 15 18:58 |
