New Zealand (Vacation)
Wednesday the 29th of November I am leaving for New Zealand. I will be gone for no less than 10 weeks, so the return date is the 9th of February 2007.
While I am gone, I recommend that you send usage questions and similar to the mailing list or use the IRC channel. And for problems, be sure to check the self-help section at the wiki and skim the table of contents of the manual for a potential feature you seek.
Should you have a problem with the purchase interface or similar, you can of course still use the appropriate email addresses at the contact page, as there will be someone handling this while I am gone.

Have fun, Allan! I'm living in Te Anau (Fiordland) at the moment, but am heading back to the States in Dec. Very sad :(. NZ is a wonderful country. You'll have a great time!

Hope you have a great trip! I'd like to invite you to document your vacation at http://www.gusto.com (to whatever degree you feel comfortable). Every line of code that drives gusto was written with textmate so it would be very cool for you to use it. Let us know when you get your account set up and we'll insure that you get 10 gig of space for uploading photos (normal users get 1 gig of space).

hehe, sweet! Kia ora, haere mai! (hello, welcome!)
make sure you try some of the kaimoana (seafood). NZ is having some bad weather atm… hopefully its not affecting your travels.
Drop by Wellington (aka Wellytron), my hometown, try some coffee and savoury muffins from Deluxe Cafe on Cambridge Terrace (next to the famous Embassy theater) – just off of Courtenay Place.
Check out Golden Bay too if you can. That's in the Nelson area (top of the S. Island). One of the most beautiful places. Auckland is a bit patu (rubbish/not very good/broken) – too much business, not enough culture. Saying that, there is some lovely scenes such as Rangitoetoe island (dormant volcanic island a mile offshore).
Cheers bro – have a great time!
