Thunderbird 3 Release Candidate 2

thunderbird

As an early adopter I am using Thunderbird 3 for quite a while now. The Betas have been really stable and other than a few minor glitches I had no problems.

I just saw that RC 2 is out there after RC 1 was released in the last week. Be careful with the release. My copy was crashing every time I tried to send an email. I couldn’t figure out the exact problem yet but not being able to send messages is quite inconvenient in my opinion.

Me is a lucky bastard – dodged hefty speeding fine

125894_107eb96f89A few weeks back the german police caught me speeding (to my defense I have to say that I wasn’t aware of the 30 km/h speed limit in that town where I was for the first time of my life). It was in a 30 km/h zone where I was driving 55 km/h. Normally this results in a fine of 96 € plus one point on your driving record.

Yesterday I got the letter from the public order office and guess what. Nothing happend I got the normal fine of 35 €. I think the policeman felt some pity for my car and let it slip trough :D

The Downfall of Agile Hitler

Polo it up again…

Polo_86C_1Motor cycle got a bit cold the last few weeks. Last weekend I walked by a old little polo similiar to one I had a few years back. I instantly bought it :D . Now I’m back on the road again. It even has a nice old Blaupunkt cassette player integrated. Cool car. Only problem: there is a slight motor problem so I might need to fix it. But for now we’re good :)

Thesising….

Oh my got. Sooner or later it had to come to this point. I’m actually starting to write on my thesis. As I know me I will stop writing after a few minutes and do other stuff but I’m prepared to try it at least.

Some kind of monster….

Hey that title just came to me. I guess it’s a sign to listen to Metallica again. Don’t know. Time beeing everything is strange. Wheater is strange, life is strange and it only took me 20 minutes to re-register my motor cycle at the local administration (what normally takes about one and a fucking half hour).

Maybe it’s some kind of monster sitting on my shoulder and directing my steps in life. I don’t know. At least I don’t where it takes me. I courious of the way but the progress makes me very sick. And there we are again at the now.

Starting a new week – a new life

Last few weeks have been strange. New place. New people. Not easy for everyone. But there is sun at the horizon and it’s getting back to normal. Takes a while to settle but I’m optimistic!

50 Liters and counting: Roberts Birthday

I don’t think we made it through the 50 liters. But we came quite close. See the gallery by clicking on the picture below.

Finally: A new pair of shoes!

m9622no2A dream comes true. My last Chucks got wrecked on the last Billy Talent concert played in Melkweg, Amsterdam last year. So I decided it is finally time to get some new ones. Different colour different time. Let’s see how it works out.

Beer-o-Mat

Yeah. This weekend the idea of writing down the beers I drink with some information in an extra category. So I started with the stuff I had around this weekend. Check out the new section I created. In the future I will put some more beers into this category as soon as I drink them :)
