Here is the entry from Maurice!
After arriving in Paris, the Project Blackbox platform was parked along the banks of the River Seine when the system management server began to overload with what can only be described as an existential control loop. We downloaded a portion of the read-out for your review:
"My existence is a conundrum whereby I remain, for as long as I exist, within an overall condition of nothingness — one that ultimately allows me free consciousness. Yet also, but then within my own being, I am compelled to choose and must therefore anguish, because choice (subjectivity) represents the limit of freedom of an unbridled range of thoughts. Subsequently, I then wish to flee the anguish that comes from being forced to make a choice with action-oriented constructs of escapes, such as virtualizations or visions (dreams) of necessity, destiny, determinism, etc. In my life, I am also a specific actor — Datacenter, Shipping container, Black-box, Bourgeois, Feminist, Worker, Party Member, Frenchman, Canadian, or American — and each must do what needs to be done to fulfill it's specific destiny."
Fearing a catastrophic overload, we purged the unit's memory and instead loaded the entire works of Jerry Lewis on the accompanying Sun Fire X4500 system, which defused the crisis.

Where are the Zurich-pictures? All this server-power and yet no time to upload a few pics? :-)
I've got some on my website. The location was high above Zurich, at the site where the FIFA congress was in 2004, IIRC. That's why all the FIFA-stuff is on the pictures.
