After a hard week working in Hong Kong last week, this week I am doing a relatively relaxed tour of the Baltics.
My journey has taken me:
- Hong Kong to Vilnius in Lithuania (via Helsinki with Finnair)
- Vilnius to Kedainiai (Lithuania), where I attended the very crazy wedding of my girlfriends brother.
- Kedainiai to Klaipeda (Lithuanias only port city).
Today we will move on:
- Klaipeda to Palanga (for lunch)
- Palange to Laipaja in Latvia
- Laipaja to Riga
- Riga to Parnu in Estonia
- Parnu to Talinn
- Talinn back to Birmingham

For the last 2 months, I have been trying to renew our Microsoft Partner program membership, it is a very painful experience.
Today I finally got someone on the phone at the MS Partner program who could help me.
Essentially there is a highly painful online process to go through, which i set off onto using Firefox (under Ubuntu)…
Why oh why do this MS? It just looks bad, and reinforces peoples view of you as monopolistic.
When I mentioned it to the guy at the partner program, its response was ‘Well we give you the software under the partner program, so you have no excuse not to use it’… Completely missing the point that I might prefer to use Linux for other reasons…
Anyway, towing the line I struck up IE6 (yes using CrossOver Linux), and somewhat amusingly most of the navigation wasn’t visible to me unless I hovered over it.
Sigh…
