**daffodil** , you can get your tutorial on coding [HERE](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=50923). Good luck. If you have any questions, Arnold Winkelreid is your man. He LOVES newbies and HATES curmudgeons. ---

For those that don’t speak Dutch: _Hoe_ is “how” in Dutch. 🙂 daffodil: I live in the fair city of Amsterdam, but I was born and raised in the south, near Tilburg. I see you’re from our capital as well. Cool! ---

Great, more Clog boys to post funny rants and build extra high curbs. (daffodil, its a reference to a drunken accident I had in your fair city in full view of many posters to this board.) ---

East-West-North-South-Centre? \*\* _Rivierenbuurt_, about a 2 minute walk away from the Amstel (and a 10 minute walk to the Berlagebrug, to give you an idea). Where’s your boat? Oh, you might wanna check out [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=63825) to see what happened when I acted as a tour guide for an assorted group of furriners… it’s a miracle the city still stands, I tell you! ---
