this post is being written at 2500ft. Hah! 
EDIT: Seriously, it was. That altitude was the cloud level at that day/time. I was on a hot air balloon trip that my wife arranged to me as a surprise. I’m turning 30 on sunday. I’ll post few pics and possibly some short video clip also. Stay tuned.
Waaaah!
Flies, oh god how I hate those damn buggers.
We came to upstairs with my wife some hours ago, moved the clean laundry to their respective places and during that session, I had to eliminate one fly bugging us. My wife really doesn’t like any flying wildlife creatures.
So, off I go on a hunt. Took first object that should do the trick, on my way to the “office”, which is the free room in our home currently, occupied with a desktop and apparels. After a small status check and finding a good spot to slap the fly to oblivion, I got my chance.
“peck” was the sound that emerged from the contact of the fly and the wall. “There, job well done, cat will take care of the remainings” thought I. Bollocks.
Here I was sitting on the “office” and minding my own business, while the damn fly passed my screens. Have to admit that I was a bit surprised, as it really took a hit against the wall. Oh well, back to job not so well done earlier.
DVD-case was this occasions melee weapon of choice. A good slap again, “peck” from the wall and the fly laying on the corner of the sofa (guest bed). hard hit with DVD-case to finish the deal. Fly again in the same corner where I thought was going to be the cat’s feast buffet.
“Good, now I should be able to mind my own business again” seemed to be too much to ask, as the fly apparently refused to die.
Got three not-so-good hits before the fourth that took the fly to ground, still twitching around. This time I sure did finish off the fly.
Decided to leave the fly visible, if it for some hellish idea decides to wake up yet again.
Ha!
Took about five hours from Miko, the senior, after seeing Jetro, the junior, drive without supporting wheels, to loose them too!
Oh happy days!
That’s a BIG hi-five to him!
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Ah, what a splendid day!
Good friends came to our place for a long picnic. We had few kilo’s of pork, filled mushrooms wrapped in bacon, sliced pineapple, halloumi cheese slices and all of those went to grill!
Not forgetting the whopping amount of fresh salad, potato salad, bread and loads of other good food, we talked for quite a long time, had fun and even the weather was on our side. Nice clear sky and over 30C in sun.
Kids played at yard and occasionally inside too (don’t really like that as the weather really was so good) but didn’t really bother to push them outside as we got a bit of “free” time out of it for the adults 
Now, after nice refreshing shower, I’ll head downstairs to have some evening snack and watch telly for few moments. Then it’s time for wonderland movies, hopefully (though I think I’m so tired that no movies this night asleep).
Uhh,
Long day. Went to see couple of friends with whole family on a picnic. It was really nice to see them all after long while! We talked for hours and had some snacks.
Only small disappointment was that the picnic actually happened indoors as the weather was “moody”. Rained every now and then.
I’ve been working on with multiple very interesting small projects with Linux, mainly about virtualization with qemu/KVM, setting up LVM as well as setting up and using Bacula. Some others too, but can’t really talk about those just yet. 
I will be posting some instructions about setting up qemu/KVM in Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) and installing Windows XP to it and using usb devices in that environment.
Also found one very easy and well written LVM tutorial, which I will be mentioning here.
Visit after awhile if you’re interested.
