Hmmm, no help there, I don't really know about trance/techno. But if you decide you want to do stuff to D&B I got a few numbers
Weekend was good, had much quality time with some very good friends, but unfortunately was kept very very busy and today am in dire need of a rest. *yawns*
How about you sir?

I don't know. Maybe we should make a plan to take over the world and then we can change it. I like the idea of a unified poi government.

Or just work part-time? I'll probably be able to have a three day weekend when I eventually move back to SA as I will basically be working for myself. But thats still a couple of years away

My dad works in Zambia and a lot of the guys out there buy machine parts etc from South Africa, the only trouble is theres no one permanent in SA to shop around for them so they have to fly to and from SA to Zambia a lot and often end up paying higher prices because they don't have time to shop around or give warning for orders. Once I get a proper process and prices set up there have been a few companies that have said that they would use me.

Just dropping in!
How are you! Seems like you need to come up and visit us again soon!
He he, or we could come down. I would really like to take Ry for a run around Melbourne with your company. Melbourne.
We are thinking about going to New Calendonia next January though (but eek! Still broke from the last trip). We just have a good oppertunity to go with a friend who lives there (studying here) and his parents will be overseas at the time, so we shall have a whole house to ourselves. Sounds dreamy! so we shall see....
You keep well and I bet I'll catch you on msn a bit later!
