NL reports amazing clear skies, KLM blue but without a single condensation trail. Working on the construction site at Schiphol had something austere. A huge airport with no engine roar, no movements on its apron, a frozen mechanism. The vulcanic dust rendered the nightskies crimson for two consecutive nights now. I hope you guys make the most of your time in Turkey. Sometimes we just have to lay low, keep quiet and let mother nature speak. If this continues long enough, I forsee an epic train journey. I am sure you'll be fine. Take care.

a+b+c+m zijn onderweg - met vermoedelijk een bus - van Sofia naar Essen. Er waren rijen van +200 mensen voor 1 loket bij Sirceki Station in Istanbul: de Varan busdienst naar Sofia bleek de snelste manier om de stad richting Europa uit te komen. Ik ga zelf morgen de andere kant op, naar Ankara met de trein, maar moet vervolgens op zaterdag vanaf Istanbul terugvliegen naar AMS. Ik begin me nu al zorgen te maken. Heb wel inmiddels gehoord dat er dagelijks een extra treindienst is ingezet vanuit IST om de stroom van gestrande reizigers te verhelpen.
Verder is alles hier prachtig. Gisteren een stralende dag, ontvangst op de Nederlandse consulaat door de culturele attache, een rondleiding door Mimar Sinan School voor Schone Kunsten (waaronder bouwkunde) door een verre nichtje van me, het uitzicht vanaf de Galata toren bewondered, en later biertjes op terras in de chique Nistansi buurt, met een schaal met 3 soorten manti...

het ene moment dwaal je met een reisgids door de aya sofia, het andere moment stat je bij een servisch tankstation in een plastic bekertje oploskoffie te roeren. life is full of surprises. nu terug in de heimat, volledig geradbraakt maar toch: dit soort reizen moeten we vaker maken! ik vond het gevoel terug dat europa groot is en vol ontdekkingen, en een avontuurlijkheid die ontstond door ons lot in eigen handen te nemen – we zijn zelfstandig uit de fuik gezwommen. dat gaf een warme gloed aan de opeenstapeling van ongemakken en obstakels, zoals de verzengend hete blower, zuchtend zwaarlijvige bulgaren en onophoudelijke balkan-ringtones in de karats-bus, en een stellwerkverstörung aan de grens waardoor we plotseling met teveel bagage in plastic tasjes door een duits dorp aan het rennen waren. maar daartegenover stond dat we de oudste orthodoxe kerk van het balkan-schiereiland hebben kunnen bezoeken, en dat ik zelden zoveel tijd heb gehad om naar slechte films te kijken.

Istanbul calling: fourteen epic days come to close. I wouldn't describe them collectively as a 'holiday': it felt more like a jam-packed cocktail of work, diplomatic engagements, family drinking sessions, and of course trajectories across the city with fellow sojourners. Leaving Ankara this morning on a double-decker Varan (bistro downstairs, seating upstairs), we headed back to IST to catch our plane. Around two hours into our journey, and with just a handful of fellow travellers, imagine our shock as the bus pulled aside to the emergency lane, and we saw bellows of smoke pass by the windows. The following hour was spent watching our chaffeur-come-mechanic fixing what appeared to be some kind of motor-plumbing connection. Aided by his two trusty young assistents with Prada-like lacquer leather shoes, I watched as they forced the fixture, and cut water bottles open to construct makeshift funnels so that they could pour fresh water into the cooling tanks. Having fixed everything, we headed onwards, arriving at IST three hours later. I say arrived, I should add that this was the somewhere on the European outskirts. We were told that it would take another hour to reach the asia side. All told, here I am, sitting at 'Efes Beer Point', and contemplating the thought of oncoming ash clouds... We came, we saw, we drank raki, we survived.

What memorable days... the wedding of B&C was a date that had been imprinted on my mind since autumn, and when it finally arrived I experienced a few deja vu's. As if I had lived out the scenes in my mind prior to them actually happening: Hans running from the camera across the fresh moist grass for the group foto, the triple row of tables in the 'Aluhal' which formed three piers of generations of family and friends. But there were also surprises: a flapping fake moustache above the lips of Roswitha, a marvellous speech by Henk which revealed that C had weighed 8 pounds at birth (a mere pound the minor of B), and that she had started to speak only when she was able to construct whole sentences... Perhaps she had waited to get married until she had found a whole man too? I think for him that feeling is mutual, and I thoroughly wish them happiness and joy in all that future will bring them!
P.s. It didn't rain.

friday afternoon i have re-visited zeche zollverein. remember, that cold autumn weekend in 2007? air crisp as ice, gold rays of a late sun blending with a thousand rusty tones. curryworst mit hefe-weien. a true sojourn. it could be essen - pécs - istanbul, but the place was packed with people this time. the parking spaces were full up to the last car. the trees had grown noticeably taller and made walking the metalic overhead structures an almost intimate experience. the bookstore is no longer were it used to be and it doesn't sell those 'sojourn' t-shirts any longer (so take care if you have one). the viewing platform was open this time and the view truely superb, a true incentive for plotting future weekend travels. i have some great peectures to put on the picturepadlock... today is the last day of may - how late when the pp comes on-line?

at the risk (no: certainty) of being obnoxious with this remark: those things in the sky on june 20 are definitely, very much cirruses. you can see the repetitive patterns in the bottom part of de peecture: those are waves of air, ca. 10km up, undulating up and down, with humidity freezing into tiny ice crystals when then waves cross the inversion.
cirruses are sometimes observed as harbingers of a warm front, often riding hundreds of kilomoteres up ahead of the front.
the many smaller fluffs at the top are harder to explain. i wouldn't be surpised of those were in fact leftovers from a heavy wall of regular rainclouds, the few lucky cumulus entrepreneurs that were rocketed into cirrostratic heights by the forces of thunder.

is it possible, for just one time, to re-write history and edit the entry's title?
my apologies for being so absent-minded
cirrus clouds i perhaps love most of all and this june has been a gift box of cirrus clouds wrapped in many red/yellow/purple sunsets. that's what the photo was meant to convey: amazing how so many types of cirrus can appear in one patch of sky. i do not think there's any leftover of cumulus involved

CAMP SOJOURN summer 2010 has come to an end. feels like it went way to fast. we still have plenty of music to play, many more polylines to draw around remote world countries, large heaps of scripting to do and many more night time thunderstorms coming up to ravage the camp grounds in pleasant summer fashion. what's more, there are 2 sojourn camp donuts left and the sun is still shining. version 2.1 is about to materialize, it's only a matter of a few more weeks to finish the work commenced this weekend.

I do hope that it's Spain instead on Sunday: two countries that haven't won the big one yet, and two which I think deserve to take the cup home. Nederland need to play there best match to win: this semi-final was better, but we can push the levels up to top form, peaking hopefully at exactly the right moment. Total football means nothing less...

What did we think about the first half? De Jong should have got a red, surely? I think NL should be glad they still have 11 men on the pitch... However, NL also seem to intercept the Spanish midfield more that Germany did. They're going to have to string together a decent attack though, in order to make a chance at goal.
12 july 2010 00:34.43
man it's a shame. not that spain didn't deserve it but "deserve ain't got nothing to do with it". they fought tough and we almost witnessed a miracle
74 - 78 - 2010 - ?
12 july 2010 19:26.47
We played shamefully, or rather, without shame, grace, creativity, and most of all a sportive tenacity. I saw a pre-match interview with Sneijder two days before the final, and he already hinted then that the team would play it 'hard': I started to become nervous. What prevailed yesterday made me - and believe me, I don't want to sound melodramatic - feel ashamed to be Orange. In fact, if you look at it, the Spanish were the one's who took the roots of the Dutch total game of the 70's and updated it to a beautiful style... A well deserved win to the Spanish, who besides the worldcup, have already won the French Open en Wimbledon this year. The Tour is also well within their grasp... Orange needs to go home, and hopefully take the criticism as a springboard to realigning their aspirations in the game
13 july 2010 11:20.19
yes, i share that feeling. although i think that a lack of tenacity was definitely not the problem. what i thought lacking was joyfulness, sportivity and an attachment to fair play. what sneijder said earlier was something like 'better to win ugly than to lose beautifully' - and i don't think i agree here. moreover, what they actually did was to lose ugly.
(uglyly? here i reach the boundaries of my english grammar skills)
13 july 2010 19:54.16
but we saw this coming right?
denmark, cameroon, japan, slovakia, brasil, uruguay - which of these games was really beautiful? i dare say none. yes, brasil and uruguay were very very close calls and the drama of it created a form of beauty, but it wasn't the total football type of beauty, there was nog magic. to me it feels like this wk is a pure mirrored version of the ek of 2008, when the dutch played their dutch (spanish?) love-the-ball game in the first three matches against italy, france & ... (quiz), an undisturbed, almost childish kind of play (remember how the players paraded their children around after the matches?). this time was different, almost la *reaction* to the disappointment of 2008, now they were there to win regardless what. and indeed, me too, i prefer loosing beautifully to winning ugly, but this time the result was neither of both.
13 july 2010 21:45.39
Quizanswer: Romania, but that was the first ugly match in a long, long row. Remember Rusia? That was where the shit really hit the van.
I'm sorry for our neighbours, i think they deserved to be in the finals, especially when you think of the very amusing 'troostfinale' they played against Uruguay.

15 july 2010 19:45.24
a bad match against romania? i don't recall it that way. i think they played pretty well back then, considering they swapped half the team. no, it started (ended) against russia. the paralysis of the dutch then in retrospect reminds me of the paralysis of the germans against spain, the playful game had suddenly evaporated. let's hope the germans don't follow this parallel any further. the germans are, after all, the team of the FUTURE
15 july 2010 19:59.03
speaking about the germans: i read they went home immediately after arriving at the german airport and that fans were disappointed by this. the players then apologized, but stated 'we aim much higher than 3d place, for ourselves and for our fans'. what a difference with last tuesday! the anglo-international newspaper some of my friends read, wrote SHAME of the dutch.
this is nationalism! rob hughes says, who used to glorify dutch 'total football' in 2008. first they play really really ugly, try to steal the cup, betray what talents they have and then queen beatrix and the prime minister herald the team.
yes, losing also requires a particular dignity.
15 july 2010 20:55.32
what an invitation quimby, I was thrilled to receive it! So deliciously packed, with a ration of confetti, and a pink strip to hold everything together. excellent work: this beats the moving house card (yours, not barn's though). circus dress suggested... can I finally opt for the banana suit...?

maar wat is een spelopvatting? wie zet de regels op voor de beoordeling van een totalfussball. ik begreep dat michels een boek voor de trainer/coach heeft geschreven dat slechts recent is voorbijgestreefd door een in een cassette uitgegeven door het bayerisches fussballorakel. veel wordt gezegd en geschreven over voetbal, maar hoogstzelden met de bedoeling verhelderend uit de hoek te komen. er is een winnaar, er zijn verliezers. sommige verliezen net een beetje meer dan anderen.
-roem is een slang
-stadions zijn erg lelijke gebouwen
-die niet kunnen worden gefinancieerd uit private middelen
-zelfs de fifa leunt qua inkomen op staatstelevisie
-evenals uitgespeelde voetballers
-het spaanse team kost meer dan 700000000 euro
-waarschijnlijk voldoende om twee stadions van te bouwen in westerse context
-compromissen worden gevonden in de uitvoering (goedkope materialen, minder actief programma)
-generatoren van autoverkeer
-er is zoveel poep aan de binnenkant van mijn scherm terecht gekomen dat ik andy schleck niet meer goed kan volgen

heel-rotterdam.
heel-grathem-kelpen-ell-tungelroy-altweertheide-bocholt (B)-lozen-langs het kanaal bocholt-herenthals bij lommelse jachthaven eraf richting postel-postel-reusel-hoge mierde-poppel-alphen-ulvenhoutse bos en chaam-ulvenhout en dan het mastbos in-breda (rechtsom)-terheijden-strooiendorp-moerdijk-willemsdorp-dordtse kil-wieldrecht-dordrecht-zwijndrecht-kijfhoek-rijsoord-beverwaard-oud-ijsselmonde-kralingse veer-oudedijk 197km.
daar ging het natuurlijk niet om. de lijst is wat beknopt en ik geef toe nagefabriceerd er met de haren bijgesleept zou echter onrecht doen. er moet rond 11.30 zijn begonnen de precieze tijdstelling weet ik niet. de aankomst was 21.45. vanaf 19.15 standoort breda werden de omstandigheden beter. het water was toen al een tijdje op. de fiets drie jaar geleden van marktplaats gehaald (de echte locatie was gouda-goverwelle) sneed moeiteloos door de grensstreek. om daar mee te beginnen. de prachtige rode beuk - fagus sylvatica 'purpurea' - sierde het kanaal Bocholt-Herenthals. menie gekleurde bruggen waar west 8 de inspiratie vandaan moet hebben, klommen naar de boomtoppen hellingbanen en trappen tegelijk, om in een keer de oversteek te maken en weer te ontwarren. een splitsing in een dood- en een doorgaand eind zette ons op het verkeerde been. maar had vage weerspiegelingen van trollhattans sluizencomplex.

de schaduw was heilzaam, langs het kanaal kon eindelijk ook op de kaart een verplaatsing worden waargenomen. een agent riep uit een busje:"handen aan het stuur". via een zeer architectonisch fietspad van beton - dan weer gelijk met het maaiveld, dan ongelijk in een scherpe bocht en met een lichte helling. hier was het dringen. brabant vertoonde hollandse trekjes.

IP resolution is enigmatic - several days of WiFi aus der ehemaligen BRD-Hauptstadt went wasted under "NET," and Germany remained in the shadows.
After hectic weeks of travel and people interaction, this Budapest sojourner is spending a quiet Friday evening reading up on news, blogs and other sources of no direct profit. The heat is sweltering still, the skin is permanently moist. A thunderstorm is promised for the night, but then, so many thunderstorms we have seen promised.
In our last night at M, T explained his theory of the two information personalities: the broadcaster and the receiver. We all know the compulsive blogger, twitterer and Skype messenger (indeed, we read them all the time). And there are the lurkers, absorbing more of the same and the new, without much inclination to contribute to the information explosion.
The old sojourn was the anti-site incarnate, now we we have the blue tranquility of anti-blog. Time to go back and read more on how volatility will over and over again turn virtuous cycles into vicious ones.

While guns are shot from a car with the bride and groom, while youngsters of the Republika Srpska are having a good time on the terrasses, while it is not raining anymore and while we are doing our best to lit up new countries on the map, we are disappointed that BiH doesn't come out of the blue. Well, maybe it's better that way. Nobody here wants Bosnia anywaz, or at least, hardly anybody wants to live here.
25 july 2010 14:14.56
wait and see, people of sojourn. after a night of gloomy dreams, some days start with shivering, shoot off in desolation and wade along in melancholy -- as if to purposefully provide a black backdrop to highlight that shimmering kernel of promise.
then, while you're standing at a bus station of a line serving unknown and largely pointless suburbs to the southeast, a cab slows down, the back door opens, and an impish young lady hands you an envelope, then promptly waves goodbye with a smile and drives on to another stint at the far side of the mediterranean.
watch out for those mosaics!

I push the door. Nobody is there. Lights are off. It's quite dark. The dance room is desert and silent. Some flyers about movement and theatre are there. There is a door. closed. I knocK at the door. Nothig. I knock again. 'Yeees! Come in'. I push the door again and I am in the most messy bed room I have ever seen.
A man between fifty and sixty years old with a quite long grey bear is sitting in front of his pc. 'Can I ... I wanted to....ask you some information about dance classes?'. With a very friendly face (and movements) He comes toward me. ' Of course'. We come back to the flyers area. He explains me everything about the classes. He teaches Improvised Movement Theatre (Theatre of the Ordinary). I have no idea of what it is. I am gonna try next week ; )

what happens here? Invited by a family to use their internet, offered to drink coffee with them (turkska kava), i must conclude that even serbia is not illuminated. This trip into the darkness of the Balkans might come to an end in Bulgaria, which is a member of the EU, and has a .bg ending for ages. Serbia has the .rs ending just recently. Before that, they used .co.yu
The serbian family is panicing, because their is no milk in the house. How can you drink turkish coffee with milk?

Dear sojourners. Listen (read) carefully. Quimby calling. I have been hooked for some time now on a music artist from Mali called Issa Bagayogo. I've been checking in on his lousy myspace website every now and then to check his tourdates in hope that he would finally come to NL, but every time without succes. Untill tonight! Issa has anounced that he'll perform in RASA in Utrecht on the 20th of October this fall. So my question is, who wants to join in? Are you in for some funky semi electronic, danceble, elevating, refreshing sounds from Africa? It is a sure shot, money and time well spend. So who's in for a bit of a surprise? Quimby and his fiancee are definately going.
03 august 2010 08:10.46

during the majuba balkan trip it is the linnaeusstraat's responsibility to keep the tomato & bean plants alive, but there has been an unexpected challenge. we were already told that there was a mouse-like-creature around, and apparently it is now gravely suffering from the inhabitants' absence. probably out of frustration (thirst? hunger? boredom? overheating?) it has started to feverishly dig into every plant pot around, emptying most of them almost completely and leaving large heaps of earth on the floor. one time while watering the plants i accidentally watered its head as it was hiding in one of the pots. i saw no more than a glimpse of a round blackish creature disappearing under the cupboard and now i start to wonder: is this really a mouse or what is happening here?

Well, Bulgaria belongs also to the dark Balkans. On the one hand that is disappointing, on the other hand we are glad that this part of the world, so close to civilisation, is yet so undiscovered. Cycling through the former S.F.R. Jugoslavia was a joy; all these micky mousestates had their own charm but were in certain way also similair. Only Kosovo is different. Crossing the border with Bulgaria is going back in time. "you go back to e.u." murmeled the customsofficer in serbian, but it felt like we went back to the fifties. As soon as we entered Sofia, the timemachine brought is back in nowedays life. After 20 days of ascese, we got drunk in a barn/cafe only lit with candlelights and the next morning one of us sweared that she never would drink slivovica again.
Saturdaynight we will have a bottle of slivovica open for anyone who wants to join us on the MJB.

summer holiday is almost there, but i don't dare to think of it yet. first there was a week of continuous meetings (the culture of meetings is worth an antropological study). after that there was a week of intensive model making (1:50, possibly my all time favourite scale). this was followed by a week of intensive autocad drawing, culminating in last weekend, a round-the-clock vectorial exercise (nothing beats autocad after all. it's still the best and has the strongest character) where the dimensions of my new screen for the first time really payed off. and this week is indesign solely. change paragraph styles, past in place, zoom in zoom out, a whole different trend of working again. one more week and i'll hopefully be drinking stout in newcastle or eat lemon curd.

1100 km without being noticed on sojourn. Back home we train for the annual time-trial in september.
As you understand, countries on sojourn's map are a kind of obsesion for me now. So i was wondering whether you'll see the whole UK emerging out of the sea while drinking stout or if it's just the English part of it?
11 august 2010 18:25.43
.co.uk implies a united emergence of the kingdom. However, the Isle of Man, for a reason which totally escapes me, does have a unique TLD. I've already tried to convince the next cycling couple to travel through there, but alas, I think that will be the only group of pixels that will remain dormant.
11 august 2010 19:26.08
However not in the Name Registration Scheme, but later indeed in ISO 3166-1 .gb never came to be used. .uk survived being picked as an early top-level identifier. 1996 marked a turning point in the use of tld's for the channel islands .je .gg .mi (jersey, guernsey and the isle of man)

Why should 30,000 individuals living in a democratic Europe be harassed into having to give up their home and/or nationality by another European democratic country who does not seem to understand what the term 'democratic' actually means? Just because we are a small territory doesn't mean we have no rights! How would any English person feel if they were told that England was going to be given to France or Italy seeing as it belonged to them in Roman times?

b & f, behind the scenes, are testing the beta version of sojourn 2.1. The picturepadlock has returned, the attendant dots are back to show 'live' who else is online with you, and alongside the european map there is a world map, containing 243 states. We have already retroactively seen that canada and qatar at some point recently logged on...
We have a few things left to do, but in my personal opinion I think we could go online real soon. And by the way, the idea of the states in the archipelago merging together was there right from the beginning, although I think we laos used the metaphor of a group of leaves, shimmering under different angles of incidence.

what a day, august the 14th, the wedding of olivier and charlotte. fellini would have been jealous of the weather, the 'vintage circus' scenary, and the varied and well-dressed company of family, friends, and children hijacking balloons to try and float away into the sky. highlight, for me at least, were the speeches which were held in old town hall of Delft. Both father's gave a wonderful nostalgic story of C & O's past (i never knew that Charlotte had been such an avid writer of letters, and Olivier's family roots in Delft). And then Charlotte and Olivier themselves spoke: I truly admired how open-hearted the shared things with all those present, and it made it a really, really memorable day for me. thank you so much for this, and I wish you a thrilling journey to New York and Umbria in the coming weeks!

From the generic .COM adress we greet sojourn from Coleraine, North Ireland. Where life is slightly depressing but the coffee is not (coffee, how long since we've had coffee?).
But this coastline is marvelous, lined with palm trees and great ice carved cliffs.
After weeks of spectacular weather with clouds in all three zones (mainly cumulus, local patches of altostratus and bright cirrus), during which we passed the rough emptinesses around Hadrian's Wall and Galloway Scotland, we're now heading for the empty northwestern corner of the Republic of Ireland, Donegal. This afternoon yet another ferry will bring us 'to the other side'.
The Met Office no longer publicises its seasonal forecasts after the debacle over the barbecue summer prediction last year.
In the republic of Ireland roads are designated by the letter M, N or R.

i wonder if Our Man from Budapest is attending the Open Office.Org conference held from 31st of August to 3rd of September in the Hungarian capital.
02 september 2010 02:34.10
haha. the man in budapest is immersed in coding land - not exactly in panic mode yet (that will come in two weeks), but definitely interfacing with little else but a lenovo t410, a peugeot racing bike with brand new mud guards, and a very few friends.
in short, he is writing software that people who use it pay for. he is not at all enthusiastic about the idea of software that some organization with an unclear agenda pays for, instead of the ones that use it. the vast majority of open source out there, in particular open office, is in a very funny club that shares the populism of a chavez with the corruption of a 7th district mayor.

I promised myself not to watch any soccer game anymore after the WC, but I changed channels, and yes there was the goal by Ruud which was phenomenal. I however think that the WC should go to Down Under.
Furthermore I listened through three radio statements by three political party leaders it was boring, boring, boring. In stead of finally coming up with the question whether the demands by PVV were in fact countering the very existence of the party, reasoning that the highly secretive start of the negotiations resulting in unclear and unlawful demands, is not unlike the political behavior that PVV aimed to attack. Ab Klink actually has more backbone than the the media.
Also dude, Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature...
I am in favor of the idea to develop anything without payment up front. Screw you guys, I'm going home.
