Hmm, interesting.  Let me disable the tipbar.  Could you check out 
http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert again?

No.  That's funny because, as I was lying in bed, I was thinking exactly
about that.  Lattice o' coincidence.

Like the back of my hand...what's that wort doing there?

I was comtemplating that.  I had 2 interviews last week.  If nothing comes
of that, I will take different strategies.  Have you checked out
http://rentacoder.com ?  I'm not sure if it's international or not, but
there are a lot of jobs working on websites there.  (I was thinking about
doing one of those low-paid jobs there, but I want to try different
money-making strategies first.)

I suppose that would be slightly cheaper.  But skateboards are definitely
slower.
