Ten thousand!
Seventeen months after the previous milestone, the number of visitors of my weblog today reached one myriad!
On to 100,000!
Wireless
Oh, how wonderful!
After a couple of weeks of fumbling around with a 15 meter long cable all through my house, after my old access point died, I can now finally work wireless again. Right now, I am sitting on the sofa in my living room – without any wires!
I just installed the wireless router I bought this afternoon, the Asus WL-500g. I still have to install my printer on the USB port, and perhaps once a USB harddisk for an FTP- or webserver.
For more info about installing a webserver on the WL-500g, check out this link or this one. (Via Binnenweg Blog.)
Seat Cordoba 1.6i GLX
Hurray, I’ve just transfered this car to my name!
It’s a black Seat Cordoba 1.6i GLX from 1995 with 127,000 kilometers.
Central locking with alarm and remote control, power steering, front electric windows, electrically adjustable and heated mirrors, radio/cd-player, and towing hook.
Very luxurious, compared to my old little Nissan Micra.
Back from Brixen
This morning we returned from our wintersport holiday in Brixen, Austria.
We had a great week, did a lot of skiing, met some nice people in our hotel, and took a few hours of private skiing lessons. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t very good. Snow (almost) every day, misty up in the mountains, so very difficult skiing conditions. But that didn’t stop us, of course. Apart from two or three lifts, we used every single lift in the area. See here for the card. The area is very nice, and pretty large with about 250 kilometers of piste and over 90 lifts.
Yesterday, our last skiing day, we met up with a girlfriend of ours (and her brother) who arrived with the same bus, that we took back home that evening! And they brought some great weather with them. Our last day was perfect, sunny – we even had lunch outside – and a lot of fun with the four of us.
On a side note, just before we left last week, we booked our honeymoon. We’re going to Greece for two weeks. When? Well, after our wedding of course. The date? May 20, just like those two zillion other people! Copycats!
Brixen, here we finally come
This afternoon, we will leave on our skiing trip to Brixen im Thale, Austria.
We are very much looking forward to it! According to the website, there’s two meters of snow in the mountains, so that’s good. Now let’s hope for some nice weather.
Check out the live webcams on the site now and again, maybe you’ll see us slide by.
So, this weblog will be rather quiet next week, but you will definitely hear more about Brixen when we’re back! See you in 10 days!
Carless no more
well… at least not for long.
Last Saturday I bought a new car. A new second-hand, that is.
I bought a Seat Cordoba 1.6 GLX from November 1995.
Still have to wait a few weeks though, I’ll get it by the end of this month.
Digital television
Last week I was called by someone from KPN, telling me that I could try out digital television for free, for eight days.
With digital television, of course, the image quality should be better than with normal, old-fashioned, analog tv. It also includes digital radio, providing superior sound quality. And all that for less than what I pay to my (analog) cable company!
So I said yes. Why not try it for free?
Carless
This morning I said farewell to my car.
It didn’t pass the inspection (APK). There was too much rust! 
It’s a shame, it was a nice little old car, a Nissan Micra (automatic!), which I bought from my grandfather three and a half years ago. But we saw it coming. It was more than 15 years old and we had already put tape over al the rusty parts. Nevertheless, it’s a pity.
So… as of today, I am car-less. 
Does anyone happen to have a car for sale?
