Swiss update

Well, I've made it through my first work day here in Switzerland. It'll apparently take two weeks for any of the local shops to order a replacement power supply for my laptop (why am I not suprised?), but I've managed to bum one off a student in my class for the time being. The voltage isn't quite the same as my old one, but it hasn't fried anything yet, so I'm optmistic. At least the customer site lets me tap into their internet connection.

I'll probably grab a taxi (assuming I can find one) down to Lausanne tonight. There aren't many restaurants within walking distance. That, and I'm just about finished the reading material I brought with me. And with a four hour train ride and ten hour flight ahead of me, I'll be in desperate need :)

Btw ... my intent was to upload photos of my travels. I even brought my camera and media card reader along with me. But, unfortunately, the card reader crashes my laptop, so I haven't been able to upload the photos. So ... that'll have to wait until I arrive home. (technology can be a real pain in the *ss sometimes)
