I noticed the other day that the Linux Today editor blog picked KMyMoney as the best F/OSS personal finance package. Congrats to the KMyMoney people! Now we just need to educate the LT editors about Kraft. :)
(p.s. to Klaas: ever considered defaulting the website to English for a more international feel?)
I've also been looking at my schedule for the next few months and wondering just how much I want to travel right now. It's complicated by the fact that it seems I'm moving to Vancouver. For real, this time! ;) Why now? Well .. besides P's mom being there and it being the home of my soul, I'm currently scheduled to move in with S. Perhaps my bachelor days are actually numbered. Shock! Horror!
That 675 kilometer move to the left .. er .. west needs to happen during the school break in between P's 3rd and 4th year classes, which means July/August. That means I'll be looking for a place out there in July to move out in August. I realized today as I was making my travel plans that this is really cranky timing for me with Akademy, which is also in July. It doesn't help that I absolutely dread the process of moving in the first place, that packing up the house is going to be an exercise in pain and annoyance (isn't it always?) and that I'll have a bunch of extra expenses to cover in the summer now.
I'm contemplating now whether I can afford, mostly time-wise, to make it to this year's Akademy. It would be the first one I've missed, and the one with the best location thus far. I'm just very concerned about doing Akademy, house hunting, moving and P. back to school all within the same 8 weeks and how I'll feel at the end of that.
There's a reason I tend not to move house much: it usually messes up my schedule, and I rarely have a very open schedule to begin with. :/ Something I'm going to have to decide on here this week, in any case. Meh.

The link seems to be wrong. The links points to "Beloved Bronze Duckling Stolen From Public Garden"
@Yaba: woops! wrong paste buffer. thanks for the heads up...
Yeah, west coast FTW!
Well...if I was close by, I'd offer to help out during the move process. Sadly, I'm probably at least a good day's travel (car or plane) from you. So may be there are members of the community that could help out?
Welcome to Vancouver (and area)!
People do move out of Calgary to Vancouver for various reason (job in my case).
Probably you will miss Calgary like me.
Oh yah big woosie..suck it up and go to Akademy and move and get P back to school etc...I am a Navy wife and I can do it all for MONTHS at a time!:)
Besides..you''ll be closer if you live in Vancouver and then I can come up (down, over, sideways) and bug you LOTS...until WE move to the East Coast of the US that is! ahaha
Speaking of KMyMoney and Kraft, have you heard of the KDE financial applications coming together into a group? That's a bunch of "serious" applications that can show a very different side of KDE. :)
Kudos to the KMyMoney Team !!!
If you have time, you may want to try Skrooge, a software similar to KMyMoney, but intended to be simpler, and KDE4 based. Any feedback highly appreciated !
From somebody who's moved a lot.
Get rid of anything that you really don't need. Give it to a friend or neighbor.
Get professionals to move your belongings. Trust me. They are a hell of a lot better than most mortals at packing and unpacking stuff and you will not be stressed out from the whole move.
Just create a system that works for you but let them do the heavy-lifting.
I knew something serious was going on during your blog hiatus last month! ;)
congrats ;)
