Wifi & Vista

Oh yes I failed the penguin, I'm running vista, shame on me. But I have no choice if I want to maintain the warranty on this machine, at least I will in the first moths of it's life then the penguin power will prevail. Event though I'm starting to consider to accelerate the process as this M$ Vista is behaving not extremely as it should. It seems it connects to the wireless network when it feels like it, like for example yesterday it jusdt refused to connect to the wireless network then today it felt like connecting wihtout a hassle. I forgive it as I have severeal wireless network on the same channel in my neighbourhoog but it's starting to be very anoying. Ok I must admit it's graphically nicer then XP but as for the usability it's far from perfect it's even worse if you're used to XP. First thing M$ seems to have fun in moving configuration tools arounf the place and to hide them where possible. Olso if it's possible make thing cryptic so peopèle keep out of the place. Give very generic error messages , and try to solve it in an automated way to then tell the user you failed fixing the problem without giving further information. Now I realy understand why vista is having trouble breaking thruogh without a forced move from M$.

Fantastic weekend

And another week has passed since my last posting. However this weekend ended the week in a fantastic way as the title says. Let's start from the end to get to the best. The weekend ended with a nice barbeque at a friends house in the mountains on a nice sunny day, with the peacfull suroundings of the mountains, followed by a little trip to a small local canion where I made some fotos that I definetly will put onto my flicker page. But this is nothing compared to what happened to me on saturday. Even though I'm generally quiet open with my postings I will keep this one a bit vague as I consider this a more private matter but I can give an overview. What happened is that I met someone, and revealed to be much diffrent than what she appeared. In the end I had a fantastic saturday wich lasted for several hours well in fact "several" is a bit of an understatement. I'm not going to pull out details eventhough nothing specials happened except for a lot of words flowing through the air, which is very strange as I'm not the person you would except to talk a lot, but for some reason I was far more talkative then what I normally am.

Next step into the wind

Since I finished the basic windsurfing course and I'm able to have fun windsurfing. I just need one extra thing and that's Kitesurfing. Seems realy cool and fun , but i definitely need to take some lessons to start kiting so that's next on my calendar a nice course of Kitesurfing. And than fun guaranteed at the see or lake. Another thing that's itching me is doing skydiving, I bounced upon a place where you can learn skydiving, for the moment i think I'll just make a tandem jump to see how that skydiving thingy is . Seems fun and lot of adrenaline :)

Fun with Ex-Colleauges UPDATED

I add this post a bit late since it's refered to thursday and right now is saturday. I must say I've had great time thursday meeting my ex colleauges and also 2 new colleagues. Unfortunattley I missed to see some of them cause I arrived a bit late at the appointment. I was comming from Mestre(VE) that day and only arrived at 21:00 at Milano Centrale and had to go whole the way to hame to get my car and then to the place "surabaya", so at the end I manged to get there at about 22:00, and we stayed there till around 01:00. The only downside of course for all of us was that we had to go to work that day. But then again I just had a great time, hope we do that again. And here are some photos ;)
