Juhui, Ferien!

Mor­gen reise ich ab in die Ferien, zusam­men mit mein­er Frau und drei Fre­un­den, an die Côte d’Azur, und werde dort die Füsse ins Meer baumeln und Com­put­er Com­put­er sein lassen. Jet­zt stecke ich in den let­zten Vorbereitungen.

Wer ein biss­chen nei­disch sein will, hier wer­den wir sein.

Erst im Juli kann man also wieder etwas von mir wollen. Viel Spass inzwischen!

Wer braucht noch eine Idee für ein Weihnachtsgeschenk?

[Triga­mi-Review] This is a review I wrote on behalf of Osu­ru, with­out instruc­tions from them, though. I was paid with one of their (less expen­sive) experiences.

Since Osu­ru’s offer­ing is avail­able in ger­man only, I won’t trans­late my ger­man review into eng­lish. Please switch to ger­man to read it in the orig­i­nal language.

Zurück aus den Ferien

[simage=285,160,n,right]Since yes­ter­day, I am back from a great vaca­tion. The two weeks in Cor­fou have been mar­vel­lous, even if the weath­er did­n’t always play along.

Well, we’ve been vis­it­ing friends who emi­grat­ed to Cor­fou a few years ago and who built a house there on their own piece of land. This time, we decid­ed take the trip with the fer­ry from Venice, instead of using a plane and ret­ing a car on the island. We want­ed to save on the rental fees.

Elektronischer Bilderrahmen — kleiner Testbericht

I recent­ly dealt with an elec­tron­ic pho­to frame. The rea­son is that I gave one to my wife for her birth­day. This is an unof­fi­cial review about a device that I bought and which, there­fore, I want to report about.

Fotograph of the electronic photo frameThe first ques­tion is how you choose one to begin with. If you look for pho­to frames on the inter­net, you will find dozens of them. My buy­ing deci­sion is about two months back. And I did­n’t have pre­cise selec­tion cri­te­ria. I guess I chose using price and (adver­tised) func­tion­al­i­ty. I final­ly bought a Dig­i­tal Pho­to Frame DPF080 by Sap­phire, and I bought it from Brack. Brack is a decent com­put­er shop, who deliv­ered com­put­er equip­ment a few times in the past depend­ably, and which so far did­n’t give me any trou­ble with billing.

The pho­to frame was deliv­ered to my home prompt­ly after a few days. Nat­u­ral­ly, I unwrapped it imme­di­ate­ly and hooked it up right away. Which was­n’t very dif­fi­cult — no need to open the man­u­al so far.

Anleitung für das Häxehüsli

[simage=104,160,n,right]My friends and rel­a­tives know that (togeth­er with Kurt and Giuseppe) I am hav­ing free access to a lit­tle house up in the moun­tains of Graubun­den. They also know that I glad­ly offer the house for hol­i­day use.

Alas, there are a few things to observe, which are more or less impor­tant, par­tic­u­lar­ly if some­one is there for the first time with­out my company.

There­fore, I just described the most impor­tant facts about that house and its infra­struc­ture on a sep­a­rate page, although it has­n’t been trans­lat­ed yet. Ask me for it if you need it.
