Nothing but the Net

I want an operating system like the Cloud http://www.thinkgos.com/cloud/ Imagine being able to press the power button of your computer and in just a few seconds you are online with your browser. For all other tasks you will still have other OS like Windows and your Linux distro, but for just browsing I would prefer not having to wait for at least 5 minutes before everything is up and running. Actually, my Lenovo T60 with all my installed services needs more than that.

Satnav takes BMW driver to brink of 100ft drop

He claims that he did just follow the directions given by his GPS. I like the comment “It’s all well and good trusting your satnav but how about trusting your eyes?”

He should have read “Ten tips for sat nav safety

Remember from one of the episodes of “Nordkalotten 365” with Lars Monsen, he was together with a sámi who said “I once bought a GPS, but I sold it again, since I already knew where I was…”

Skiing in Bansko, Bulgaria

This weekend I’ve been to Bansko in Bulgaria for two days of lovely skiing. It was real fun, with very good off-piste. Literally no one else was going outside of the piste so on Saturday morning I was all alone in the forest with powder up to my knees. Could you ask for more?

The skiing was good, but without constantly fresh powder two-three days are enough, after that you have to go where you’ve been before so many times.
