First impressions about Nintendo Wii

Yes, we have bought a Wii. The Wii sports package to be more precise. The first impressions? Well it looks nice, it starts fast and the games are fun. Why Wii and not Xbox ore Playstation? Well Wii games are rather made to make you move, stand up and do something. Not just sit there in front of the TV with a controller in the hand.

So after the first day of Wii Sports I can say that almost evey muscle in the upper part of my body hurts. No, really! The Wii Boxing really really makes you sweat but it still is fun. I just can’t wait to do some more Boxing on the Wii :) and I am really really curios to see what Wii Fit can offer. The package just arrived, can’t wait to get home :)

More about the Wii will follow … if I will be able to write tomorrow :)

Floridita

1832923777faa1f002743902_b.jpgYesterday I was in Floridita, a cuban dace bar in Vienna. If you visit their website and know what song it is that’s playing please tell me :)
So where was I, yes, yesterday in Floridita with Ovidiu. As usual in Floridita it’s great. Nice atmosphere great music, great drinks and of course a cigar :)
Going there by public transport wasn’t that easy. It’s quite a while since I went somewhere by public transport, but to get to floridita should be pretty easy, if the tram is going where it should. Unfortunately yesterday was love parade in Vienna, which I found out as we almost arrived floridita. Anyway the tram brought us near Prater instead of the first district, but that wasn’t to bad, U1 goes to the first district and after over an hour we finally arrived.
Well there is nothing more to say, I can hardly describe the good mojito or the ron de cuba with a good cigar :)

Krapfenwaldlbad - Swinming with a great view over vienna

Where can you go cool down when it’s hot in Vienna? Well there are a lot of places, but one that you should visit is Krapfenwaldlbad The swimming pools are not really great, but the view will compensate for that :) Anyway, I wouldn’t go to often there since it’s to crowded in the small pool. But look at the photos and decide for your self.

long time, no blog

It’s has been quite a while since my last blog. I was quite busy since I came back from berlin. Had to finish a server, was sick, server made some problems, experimented with UCS and Scalix, started to hate stupid WindowsNT Policy files … and so on.
I initially wanted to document my work on the PDC I installed and the troubles I had but having a bad cold at the same time and a lot of stress I didn’t really get to it and now it wouldn’t be any help since I forgot the most of it. So, to not get bored and maintain the stress level, I started to set up a new XEN VPS on which I installed Debian Etch, here I will move my current lcx server. There are several things that piss me of at the moment in the actual installation and I though it would be a good time to do it now and also upgrade to Debian 4.0, Apache2, PHP5, MySql5 … Well I hope I will finish it today, or at least this weekend.

Easter Reloaded

Since I didn’t want to go to Romania to easter, because of the heavy traffic, I decided to go one week later. One of the few occasions when I went to Romania without my car, I went with my friend Razvan. This was also a good occasion to test my one HUI in the car and I must say it worked great! I was online, reading the VWclub forum, my email and using instant messenger even after the Austrian border, at least for some km. Once arrived, all of us starving, we tried to get something to eat at “Dracula” but unfortunately it was full and we chose plan B, “Casa Romaneasca” which was a very very good decision. The food was excellent! I just got hungry again only by thinking of that wonderful food, or maybe it’s just because I didn’t eat anything today. Anyway, Casa Romaneasca in Timisoara … anytime again.
Saturday, party time at The Note, to packed so we left quite early and went for some beer and tequila sunrise in cafe colt.
Sunday was grill day :) together with some members of VWforum.ro we had a great grill session, with great weather and also some crazy drivers and a frog concert in the background :) For the next grill session it would be nice if one of us really takes a blanket with them or something else to seat on and not only hope that one of the others took something with them, but we can eat and drink also when sitting on the grass :) Oh, I almost forgot, photos and Romanian shops don’t really seem to be a good combination. For some reason in no big shopping center it is allowed to make photos, not even in the parking lot. For example Metro … while we, or better said Rilu and Vlady, did the shopping, I took some photos and the security guy was very fast present to tell me not to make any further photos. Exaggeration? Paranoia? who knows …
And what would easter be without presents? :) I got a wonderful invitation to Buena Vista Social Club from my darling but I had to look for it, in a box full of tickets, rolled together to the size of a cigarette, it wouldn’t have been fun if I would have found it at the first try, but no worry, with the luck that I have it took me some time, actually, there where only 3 tickets left after I found the winning one!
I will not tell what present I made :) I will leave this to my darling :) she can tell all about it :)
Hm… still not in Budapest … what else can I do until I’m home … I even downloaded the Photos from the CF to my mac …

Ce mai este nou prin Viena?

De mult timp na-m mai fost prin oraş să stau la o terasa, uite ca ieri am avut ocazia. Nu am apucat sa stau mult şi a apărut deja prima cerşetoare “bitte bitte”, în primul moment am avut impresia că sunt in Timişoara în Unirii pe o terasă :) şi mam găndit să răspund ca in România … aşa că iam zis frumos să se ducă dracului, bineîntăles in Româneşte, şi atunci s-a transformat acel “bitte bitte” în “te rog, … să te ajute dumnezeu” etc etc. Cam asta mai ii nou prin Viena :)
