Vanmiddag heb ik mijn Dagboek
Spanje 2001 Deel 1 met 2 CD's om 12.57 uur bij loket
7 aangetekend verzonden aan de directie van de Baak. Een Spaanse jongedame van Govez
heeft er een mooi boekwerk van gemaakt. De begeleidende brief
luidt alsvolgt BAAK-KRING/CERVANTESKRING. De verzendkosten bedroegen 1480
ptas. Het verdere
nieuws van vandaag. De Telegraaf. Neo-nazi's bedreigden jong gezin uit Malden. Van onze correspondent.
WIJCHEN - De politie heeft bij Wijchen elf neo-nazistische jongeren
van 16 tot 21 jaar, die een gezin uit Malden met de dood hadden
bedreigd, gearresteerd. Dit komt sterk
overeen met hetgeen mij op 30
april 1993 is overkomen op De
Beerendonck bij Wijchen. Spaanse
klacht tegen BERLUSCONI
Opnieuw een ijzersterke zet van Baltasar
Garzón. Duitse
investeerder is niet te spreken over KPN Ik mag echter aannnemen dat dat
voor de balanspositie geen consequenties heeft. De overname heeft
KPN immers een nieuw bezit van 6,5
en 9,1 (= 15,6) miljard euro opgeleverd. De hervatting van de
beprekingen met Telefónica duurt inmiddels ook al veel te
lang, maar ik mag aannemen dat Paul
Smits daar zijn
redenen voor heeft. Maar voorlopig geen Duitsers. Dat past immers
niet in mijn Core Business.
Alles op zijn tijd. Ik zal een afspraak maken met John Hewitt. De Ierse eigenaar van de Harp begroette
mij gisteren nog met de woorden "Hello,
John". In de omgeving van zijn bar ben
ik de ober van Diana ook al eens tegen het lijf gelopen,
als ik mij niet vergist heb (Paul
Burrell). Het ziet
er thans naar uit dat het bericht dat John Major verantwoordelijk is voor de publikatie
van The
False Last Will of the Princess of Wales inmiddels bekend is geworden in het Verenigd
Koninkrijk. Volgens
een opiniepeiling van The Sun zou Tony Blair thans een meerderheid van 227 zetels
verwerven in het Lagerhuis als de verkiezingen morgen zouden zijn
gehouden volgens planning. We zijn inmiddels alweer vier jaar
verder nadat ik hem in het zadel heb geholpen. Het zou wel aardig
zijn als hij in het voetspoor van mijn goede vriend Aznar zou treden qua kamermeerderheid.
Ik ben benieuwd hoe deze situatie zich verder ontwikkelt en in
hoeverre het Cervantes
Plan verder van invloed
zal zijn op de politieke verhoudingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk 'as from now''. Ik citeer voorts
het ontvangen bericht van de computerclub CUGA alhier. Subject:
Meeting Monday April 30, 14.00 hrs.
Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2001 13:35:32 +0200. To: "Prockter Dennis F." CC: Alabaster,

John, Heyden John van der, Hilten van Guillermo, Hoogstad Gerard, Dear Members, Last meeting David Robertson told
us about his use of Microsoft Publishing and its manifold possibilities.
Most of us were quite impressed with the examples he showed us.
The banners, flyers, visiting cards he printed for Cudeca were
professionally made. David also gave us several useful tips. To
obtain a copy, send him an e-mail.Of course next to the ability
to work with the program you also need an artistic talent to make
these layouts and designs. Microsoft Publishing is a part of Office
2000. Many of the examples are also to be found in Microsoft Word
97, but this program is not a publishing program and therefor
limited. Next meeting, April 30th Bruce Crowther promised to tell
us about his use of the computer as an author. Willem van Hilten
has prepared a presentation on Google, a search engine; the newest
mp's; and Buddyvoice, a program like voice e-mail. John Hewitt will give a presentation
on network Monday May 14th. In the meantime
Steve Walker has set up a website for CUGA: www.freespeech.org/CUGA/.
If permission is given it would be nice to give a summary of the
talks and presentations given. Of course without consent nothing
will be put on the website. Steve is quite adamant that he will
and cannot do the website on his own and that we all have to participate.
But the start has been made and I personnally sincerely hope it
will not come to an end like the one before. Dennis Prockter will
be back the 28th, if necessary Bob Jürgens will chair the
meeting coming Monday. Regards and see you on Monday 14th, as
unfortunately I myself will not be able to come this Monday, the
30th, Ada. Tijdens mijn afwezigheid heb ik van hen ook de volgende
berichten ontvangen.
Viernes, 2 febrero 2001 09:53. Dear Members, This is my second letter. Both yesterday and this morning sending mail was impossible. Hope this will succeed, Ada. January 22 we had our Annual General Meeting. The new board: President: Dennis Prockter. Vice President: Bob Jürgens. Secretary: Ada Matthieu. Treasurer: Frank Naylor. A list of past talks and presentations was given. Next time I will send an attachment of those papers I have in the archive, so if you missed something you can send me an e-mail and if possible a reply with the asked for information will be given. Jan 8 meeting Les Smith held a presentation of Computergraphics and their use on the internet. During the meeting it was unanimously decided, the secretary would send a list of members with address telephonenumber and e-mail address. Anybody opposed to give this information will be crossed off (except on the lists of the board). Nameof attachment members jan 2001. Please be careful only to load down attachments you have been previously been advised to receive, do not open other attachments of the same sender. There is a new virus (The newest edition of symantic anti virus will recognise this virus and fix it. This virus sometimes adds itself on an e-mail or as second attachment (You can safely load down the one with the proper name) and unbeknowing you have "caught the disease". Steve always full of information, held a talk about the costs of various systems to connect with the internet, costs etc. , send him an e-mail to receive the presentation as attachment. Dennis proposed to have our members giving him an small list of their interests. He also found John Berry to tell us about his experiences with Windows Millenium next Monday. Dennis also asked to tell us about aticles you have read, maybe with a summary of the contents, anything you are interested in and think might be a topic for all the others. Do not hesitate and be afraid to share as Bob J. once sent us a poem "There is always someone knowing less than you do." See you Monday February 6 at 14.00 in the B@r Net , Regards Ada.

Sábado, 17 febrero 2001 15:10. Dear members, Although late, I hope this note will reach you in time. The CTV-connection has a lot of troubles, a note was sent by Wanadoo, they have taken over, however your subscription to CTV will be honored until the expirationdate and will give most ample time to inform your relations of the change in providers. wmatthieu For your information as far as I know Telefónica gives the "tarifaplana" through Wanadoo.es and Terra.es. Tarifaplana gives you a fixed rate to pay Pts 2000.- monthly which gives you unlimited connection to the internet from 18.00 until 08.00 hr and 24hrs on saturdays and sundays. For Wanadoo I was given the number 900 010 010. They want your pasportnumber or nie, date of birth, your present provider, you will be told how to connect and can speak in English if necessary. Our last meeting John Berry told us about his experiences with Windows Me, many improvements were made over Win98, as John explained. Both Bob Jürgens and I had some difficulties and ways to overcome them. Coming meeting Dennis will tell us about his research on Firewall. Steve Walker made a concept of a new website, his only condition to keep this going is to have all of the CUGA members giving him information. Maybe you have your own website, an interesting topic or experience, an article you have read or news like Erik Monk on the "free laptop etc". I have printed out this information and will give it to you on monday. Attached you will find the addresslist in rtf under word. addresses CUGA, which I hope most of you will be able to receive. If not advise me. I try but am not experienced enough to reach all. Regards Ada.
Ada Matthieu blijkt dus de secretaris te zijn van de computerclub waarvoor Maya Hugenholtz mij heeft ingeschreven. Ik heb haar dan ook het volgende bericht doen toekomen.
Dear Ada,
Thank you very much indeed for the information I received on 2nd and 17th February and last 27 April. I suppose this has been as the result of the conversation I had with Maya Hugenholtz in December last year, shortly before my return to the Netherlands on 12 December. Until last 17 April I stayed there during four months, because I was advised to stay away from the United Kingdom for a while. I read your emails with interest. It's nice to see the family-names Hewitt and Van der Heyden next to each other in the same list. I hope these family-names will not be mixed up any longer as from now on. Unfortunately I was unable to visit the last meeting on 30 April. Because of our Queen's day I had to visit the Dutch Club Costa del Sol in Hotel Puerta del Sol in Mijas. Nevertheless I am looking forward to the next meeting on 14 May. Because I had some problems with Microsoft Outlook Express I did not receive your attachments to your emails. I would be obliged to receive them another time and request you to let me know at what time and where the next meeting will take place. Regarding your name I may suppose you can write me in Dutch as well. Therefore please find attached my photograph with the title 'Purple full of Love about Kok'.
And never forget: AS THE FINAL TOUCH GOD CREATED THE DUTCH! Yours sincerely, John L. Van der Heyden, Torremolinos. Dit bericht heb ik om 18.21 verzonden. Het emailprogramma heeft echter laten weten dat het niet is overgekomen. Om 18.55 is het wél gelukt.
