We got stopped at the Slovenia/Croatia border, possibly because we were an American (Jeremy Byron) and a Belgian (me) travelling together and because we confused the border police into thinking I was Jeremy and Jeremy was me (apparently I look quite like the photo on Jeremy's passport, and vice versa). We had in the car four laptops among the two of us, a "server" (really a rack-mountable QNAP NAS), a box and a bag full of electronic equipment and various kinds of cables, as well as my flute and a waffle iron (C&W, here I come). They checked everything fairly thoroughly, but our explanation that we were going to 'a computer conference' seemed to be sufficient, and the worst that came from it was that our trip was somewhat delayed while the customs officer had a look at our stuff. -- The volume of a pizza of thickness a and radius z can be described by the following formula: pi zz a
