i have moved to my new apartment and the kitties and i are enjoying settling in. however i am still working out the fon/dsl issues - hence the scarcity of posting. also last week i was in hannover for CeBIT - checking out all the new toys. and i spent a two days in freiburg seeing a customer. happily i finished earlier than planned and had the opportunity to visit the freiburg's renowned cathedral, the muenster and climbed to the top of the tower. also checked out the local torture museum. after perusing the usual infernal devices i spoke to the two old crones manning the ticket desk and they directed me to the city's martin's gate - where a plaque memorializes the beheading and burning of three young women accused of witchcraft during the hysteria at the end of the sixteenth century...the middle age's version of the war against terrorism - only in this case the enemy was female sexuality..a weapon of mass destruction indeed...
