Code Ninja

June 11th, 2013

I didn’t quite make it to the Ninja Level, yet 😉

But I’m working on it. Learning to code, improve your coding skills, look into new Programming Languages or even just to understand how code works isn’t easy.

The Good News: there is an easy way to start the Codeacademy.

I started last year and made a huge break when I worked full time as Web Developer and CIR but now I’m getting back into it. I should have made a couple of Minutes each day even when I had a job. The Lessons are short and easy to save and pick up another time.

No more excuses, not to learn to code or look into other programming languages. Codeacademy is here

Mead making

January 4th, 2013

My wife’s Christmas present was a 5gal Carboy, corks, an device to put corks into wine bottles and a book about [[Mead]] making.

The last weekend in 2012 we had the time to get 15lbs of honey and start our experiment to make Mead.

Right now I have a 5gal bucket of Honeywater mixed with yeast and yeast nutrient in my dining room bubbling every couple of seconds trough its air lock. Let’s hope it turns out good.
Visit to Rockland

July 25th, 2012

A friend had a Reggae Show in Rockland Harbor, it was a pretty nice day and i made a lot of neat pictures from Rockland, Maine, here are a couple. I made it all the way out to [[Rockland Harbor Breakwater Light]] (4300 ft or 1300 m), quite a walk.
Facebook Plugin

June 13th, 2012

Just bundled my Website together with my Facebook Account, lets see how that will work out.

Facebook released an App for [[Wordpress]] earlier this week. I suppose to tie a Blog and a Facebook Account together. I’m extremely curious how this will work out.

The gift of vision

February 11th, 2012

After 10 years i managed to get myself some glasses. They are awesome light and very comfortable to wear. Without them i’m so blind now. 😉
I was at a Party

February 11th, 2012

it was a weird one. A Friend of my Woman got diagnosed with Lung Cancer a couple of Weeks ago, her prognoses was that she had 2 Weeks left. A devastating message.

My wife was visiting her a couple of days later, she was dancing at home and found her Peace. Then we visited her “Going Away” Party. It is a weird feeling when you know that when you leave that party it is very likely you never see that person again. The Party itself wasn’t sad more like a normal Birthday Party or some Family & Friend gathering. But there was a long Line and everybody wanted to see her. She mad a sick but happy impression but it still was weird to see her saying good bye.

A couple of days ago she passed away, it was sad but expected. A good friend is gone, we will never see her again (but we will have some Margaritas and remember her ).
Goodbye Ubuntu, Hello Fedora

December 18th, 2011

I used [[Ubuntu]] for a couple of years, i liked the fixed Release Schedule, the new Features and the Hardware Compatibility. I think Ubuntu did a lot for bringing the Linux Desktop OS to the Mainstream Customers.

But now i switched to (back) [[Fedora]]. I always liked Fedora but for some strange Reason it never liked my Hardware. But it works very neat on my new HP Laptop .
