Moving the webspace??!?!

I got a weird message from blogger.com that they won't support FTP upload anymore.

Effective 01 MAY 2010. We'll, let's see...

Uhm, sorry....

Happy New Year and almost Happy Easter! :(

I had no idea FaceBook would be overruling this idea...

Hmmm, shall I close this page? Na, I'll keep it alive for a little bit longer...

Move ya...

Since all our "daily computers" got converted into Macs, I thought of Malia's old computer as a nice media station. So, the old S6 I was once, when I was young and beautiful and Malia fell in love with me, I managed to put in a new hard drive, connected it to the TFT and installed Windows Vista again. Everything went smooth and seemed to run fine. Time to initiate stage two, the connection to the LCD TV. All cables plugged in, booting just fine, crystal clear picture and a big smile on my face.

So I searched the attic for the old wireless keyboard, installed it and sat down on the couch again...nothing happend. No mouse click, no keyboard response. Hmmm, maybe it has a limited range I thought, so I moved a bit closer....and closer....and closer and found myself in cable range when it started to work. Pffffft.....nice.

A quick research on the internet for another Logitech product brought the following result:

Not so bad I thought, especially since Amazon was able to deliver it to Luxembourg for free within 3 days! Deal! During those 3 days I spent most of the time laying on the wooden floor 1m (3 feet for the US readers) in front of a 40" LCD screen. I felt a bit stupid but hey, wind uhm...keyboard of change is coming.

As promised, Amazon delivered the new gadget after 3 days, I opened the package and was quite surprised. I bought the item to sit on the couch and control the media centre from there, without moving closer...

And this is what I had to read:

Uhm, what? "Designed to move you"? WTF? I wanted to sit on the couch and control it from there, why are they talking about moving me? :(

...wind of change

Hi,

i intended to write something like "leaving, on a jet plane..." then, some idiot crossed my plans. I passed that area about 2 hrs prior to the incident.

Ok, I know, I wasn't and never will be the target but the Afghan civilians are. So this morning, one try tried to have a win-win situation by attacking the "Infidels" and their own people cooperating with us. Well, he sort of succeeded, but only by killing the people that do the shirts for us. That's sad enough but no other casualties.

No numbers have been confirmed but he was successful. Well, Mr. I-will-have-my-70-virgins, let me tell you something, your head was found and will get dumped with the rest of the vehicle somewhere in the trash yard...and trust me, I've seen it.

People just try to make a living, other try to make a living by killing them. Let's hope that most of the Afghan people realize that we don't bring terror but schools, wells and other things they need in life.

Good night!

I'm ok...

Unfortunately the election does not only include wallpapers, advertisements but also suicide bombs.

Got to sit tight for the next few days...

Looks familiar, uhm?

Where have I seen this before? Hmmm....oh yeah, prior to every vacation! :D

C4-car not allowed...

This morning someone decided to blow himself up in front of the HQ ISAF. Well, elections are coming and some people misunderstand the "any PR is good PR".

Oh, and by the way: c4-cars are not allowed on this map...

Ok, this is a gamer joke but you might get it...
