Ouch, hope you get well soon!  Accidents are nasty. Especially when 
they affect your ability to go about with your computer doings. ;)

As for myself, I have been wanting to go to BG for the last two or 
three years now, but I've either been sick or have had exams on the 
very weekend BG was being held.

It seems this time, though, that I don't have any exams 15-18th October 
(I've been checking the exam date web page at Uni two times a day for 
the past few weeks, just to know!), so if I only manage to get money 
from CSN (the authority that handle financial aid for students; loan 
and grant for studies), I'll am _so_ going there.  Heck, even if I 
don't get any money from CSN I'll see if I can't borrow money somehow. 
(Ryanair's pretty cheap if you go there on Friday and get back on 
Monday; 423 SEK =~ 45 EUR for a round-trip ticket Gothenbourg<->
Frankfurt-Hahn).

Looking forward to meet up with more BeOS people; it's a great 
opportunity to make new friends and discuss BeOS in-person, an 
opportunity you seldom get otherwise.

And judging from the past events, the barbeques and pizzas look 
attractive as well. ;)

Hope the rest of you think the same!

Perhaps we could have a code-race and implement something nifty? A 
bunch of people gathered at the same place for two days might turn out 
to something useful.

I don't yet know when/if I'll be granted money, so that's good. 
Hopefully I'll know before not too long.


See you guys there!
