No, there is nothing wrong with your computer! That is Greek and it is pronounced as "kokkineesta may giegandes".
"Is that something edible?"
Ow yes it is! It is deliciously stewed fillet of veal with giant white beans in a spicy sauce. That is what I ate last Friday in a Greek restaurant in Amsterdam. I thought it was high time to pamper myself a little! For desert I had a "φιλί τις φωτιά" (pronounce as "filie ties footia"). That was not on the menu in Greek, but only in English. I thought it should have been on the menu in Greek, so I asked the waitress for the Greek translation of "kiss of fire". By the way, that is simply coffee with Tia Maria, Cointrau and whipped cream...

This weekend was a bit too packed with activities really. Sometimes everything comes at the same time. Friday I went straight from work to the restaurant and after that to a party where I mt a lot of people I usually once see in chat-boxes. It is so nice to meet them in real life.

Saturday I went to the shops several times until the newpaper was finally delivered. But I also had to prepare a new column for Gendertalk on that day. And in the evening we had another T&T-meeting. I brought the newspaper with article and many people had read it with interest. I got a lot of positive reactions to it. But I was really too tired to fully enjoy the evening. And I haven't found the time to write a complete report on the evening.

But the worst was yet to come. On Sunday I worked on a translation for Elektor Electronics until 11 PM. I had to finish it by Monday! I enjoy this work and we can use the extra money very well, especially in our current situation, but sometimes the time isn't right for extra work...
