Just a quick update on preparations for the move.
I am loath to get rid of my VHS collection and am trying to copy them to the computer but not having a lot of luck with the cheap option using an easycap USB stick. First it didn't work with the new 64 bit laptop and now with new drivers I get no sound and the video rate is shit. Anyone got any suggestions?

On a better note, we are heading across for a long weekend next week to go house hunting. The Netherlands is not a cheap place to buy or rent though, even with the exchange rate improving recently!

Found out about Dudeism today and got ordained immediately. I live in schiedam (Rotterdam), welcome to the Low Countries Milnie. Nijmegen is a beautiful city, and probably the oldest one in The Netherlands (there's a strife between Nijmegen, Maastricht and Voorburg which one is the oldest). If you have any questions about (life in) NL, don't hesitate to contact me.
There's no meaning to life. It's just life   and,    well,   what you do with it.

Welcome to our beach community. Pull up a rug and grab a cold one

Just a quick note on our march towards the Netherlands. My special lady became my wife yesterday. Civil ceremony as the dudely way is not recognised in Scotland but I spread the good word anyway: "let's get pissed!" (thank you mike Myers). We had hired a country house for privacy and the day was fantastic. 26 deg and clear skys didn't hurt either :)

That is just like their opinion, man. Why should you pick up the tab for improvements before you were there? This aggression will not stand!
