Hey Ola,
Thanks for stopping by even though my blog has been dormant as of lately. I have a whole series on Fontainebleau including trip beta. It can be found here: http://www.cragbaby.com/cat...
Feel free to email me if you have any further questions.
Best.

Martin,
It looks like I never responded to this! Argh, sorry! I am in ZA now and in Rocklands every weekend (except the next 10 days as I am hiking Kili). I would love to catch up. Please feel free to reach out to me at wasatchgirl@gmail.com.
Cheers.

Hi Rachel,
Yeah, the forest is big and the public transport is sparse. I would definitely rent a car. As for a crash pad, you can rent them from the gites. I list two on this post and I am pretty sure they both rent crash pads. Let me know if you have additional questions.
Hope you have a good trip.

Looking back through this list (as I am packing for a trip to Morocco) I would add the following...
- hair brush
- hair ties and bobby pins
- ipod
- all necessary chargers / cables

Hey evilphil,
Well... I think I was able to drag myself away because it snowed. :) And... to be honest... I am really, really trying to learn French and it was so difficult in Font.

You should definitely head there one day. It is my favorite climbing destination!
Hope you are well.

Hi lydiaw!
Thanks... I am real excited about this next life chapter.
CB had to stay home for the European part of my adventure, but she will be making the move to South Africa with me. :) We leave on Feb 10.
Hope you are well and thanks for commenting.
Best.

KarloMarx,
Good job on finishing it. It is such a popular book I should have pushed through... but... I just caught myself not reading instead.

Thanks for your review. And good luck on your reading all the books you own goal. :)
Cheers.

Bouldering is fab.... but so is The Plantation close to where you are based. ;)
I am well.. just booked a ticket to France for 3 months. Be great if we could catch up while I was in Europe.

Sure thing, Lil Chicka. Hopefully I will soon convince you to come out and join me in the canyon. We miss you up there...

Hey Alex!
Great to meet you, especially since you are another finance / bouldering geek.

Yes, Steve is a dear friend of mine and is landing state-side I believe today. :)

As for Font... I might be there in February / March as well. Let's talk. :)
Best.

Ha ha... she does! It surprised me as well. I thought she only lived in LCC. :)

Exactly. It simply isn't there yet...

Re: "Installed applications are going away in five years"

WasatchGirl — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:44:26 -0000

I agree with you. I always have a list of apps to install when I get a new computer. My list is almost identical to yours except I no longer use TweetDeck, my Mac doesn't require Norton, I've never really gotten into Evernote though I have tried a couple times, and I don't use Citrix Mainframe. (Yes, even I have Internet Explorer on my Mac as it is still a necessity sometimes. Boo!)

Others that I use include: Filezilla and Plaxo.

Usually downloading the app is 1) necessary (in the case of Mozy even though they have a cloud component) or 2) simply faster (in the case of uploads like Picassa).

I will definitely show Steve the works. Just an FYI that I will be out your way soon... perhaps mid-November.

It was such a good time and I absolutely LOVE CB's new collar. Can't wait to finish the leash! I promise to bring M&Ms this time.
Thanks again, M.
