It's On Like Donkey Kong
I now have a rather flash looking complete with holograms 12 month multiple entry Schengen Visa, which means I can work in Italy and live pretty much anywhere in Western Europe.

These Shoes Were Made For Walking
I'm sending off my Italian Visa application in the morning. At this point I'm really hoping they issue one since I have had to buy tickets and insurance prior to applying, otherwise it's going to be a rather expensive exercise.
Travel dates are now leave New Zealand on Tue 15th April and arrive in Italy on the 16th. Start looking for a flat over the following week while staying at my friend Anna's place. On the 23rd I'm taking a quick trip via Roma to Istanbul, spending the night there and then traveling down to Gallipoli the following day. After the dawn memorial service and a little exploring heading back to Istanbul, another night there and the most of the following day. Heading back to Bologna late on the afternoon of the 26th.
After that continue to look for somewhere to live, if I haven't found somewhere already. Also on the list at some stage is a trip to Casablanca, since I now have enough Frequent Flyer Miles to go there and back for free! And visiting friends in London and Ireland. Though these trips will be a bit later on in the year.
UPDATE: Visa application has been sent, now we wait...

CSS Behaviors vs CSS Expressions
In follow-up to my previous post, one thing that is worth mentioning is behaviors should always be preferred over expressions. Why? Expressions are constantly re-evaluated making slow Internet Explorer even slower.
For example, an expression doing a faux "max-width" would be recalculated hundreds of times when the mouse moves, even though the result would always be the same. The advantage of behaviours is that you can bind them to specific events, page load, window resize, etc, and in doing so reduce cpu load and improve the performance of your site.
