And it starts, well, sort of stage 0.5

So, first part of my plan already started, I am now in Portugal for about 2 weeks but still taking care of some paperwork for Switzerland. Yes, it’s a pain in the *** to get out. I am now waiting for my taxes for 2010 and the ones for this year to get resolved. Before that, my residency still counts as if I was still in there, meaning I am still paying all rip-offs insurances and taxes, including the TV tax for my apartment, with someone else already living there. But by the end of this month, or worst case next one, should be fine.

Meanwhile, I have been pushing some client work ahead as well as some personal projects too. And preparing a brand new 3-day workshop (to start end of September) while touring my Intro to Coding workshop by the end of this month in Geneva, end of next month in London and also some dates to confirm for next month for Lisbon and possibly Porto. Also have to prepare a presentation for an incoming conference. Slowly planning also already my gotoAndSki conference, held in the Swiss Alps in January, to where I am moving in November (into a lovely chalet in the middle of nowhere, which as been my creativity hideout a few times before, but now will be for 3 full months).

So, kind of busy, but at a less insane pace for sure, with a break last week on the Portuguese SouthWest coast (Zambujeira, to be more precise) with good friends, barely turning the laptop ON (that’s new!). I leave everyone a hint of what the place from where I came back yesterday is like:
