OUR STORY IN BRIEF

We are traveling the world (parts of it, anyway) for a year. Bela is continuing to work for SCO -- the ultimate tele-commute. It sure beats sitting in a traffic jam. I am playing the tourist, and dragging him along with me. I'm also writing stories of our adventures (we both are, but I have more time and inclination.) and (mis-)managing this web-page.

Bela's promised to write up an article detailing what hardware, software and tricks we're using to maintain our connection to the Net.

Our original itinerary has gone through some on-the-road revision. Unfortunately, some of the places we had originally intended to visit have turned out to be impractical for us to visit, or too politically unstable. But we've been invited to other places which tends to make up for it.

We'd all love to hear from you! If you have any questions about places we are or have been, please feel free to ask. Unfortunately, we're a bit behind right now, but we will write as soon as we can.

Also, we're sending our adventures to a mailing list as well as putting them on these web pages (Again, we're behind on both of these). If you'd like to be added to the mailing list, please email any of the above addresses.
