    Where have you been?

    by  • 1 September, 2006 • General • 0 Comments

    Well? Where? I’ve been waiting for nine months exactly and nobody shows up! Just kidding, really. I seem to have taken a rather long break, haven’t I? But rest assured, everything is well with us. It must have been writer’s block. Or something. The thing is, it gets boring — not only for me,...

    Merry… Happy….

    by  • 24 December, 2005 • General • 1 Comment

    So this is Christmas… We hope you all had a good year and that the next may be even better! My blogging was at an all time low and this time I won’t promise to do better next year, because if there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s that I don’t seem to be...

    Still unconnected

    by  • 15 November, 2005 • General • 0 Comments

    This entry is brought to you from the dark bowels of an obscure internet cafe in downtown Iraklio: the local powers that control all telephony and internet access here are still figuring out how to turn the switch to give me back my adsl connection. Full report will follow as soon as that happens....

    Almost completely moved over

    by  • 28 October, 2005 • General • 0 Comments

    It looks like we are going to make it by Sunday night: the kitchen stuff has been completely moved to the new house, the bedroom is fully over, so is most of the living room, except for 2 arm chairs. What’s left is what we call our “office room”, with the computer gear, printers,...

    Obsesión

    by  • 23 October, 2005 • General • 0 Comments

    No es amor, no es amor, es una obsesion. I find this tune, a house remix by Aventura, pretty addictive. I got it on my newly acquired iPod Shuflle, a present given to me by my friend Petros. Petros used to be my downstairs neighbour, then a CS student at the UOC, who initiated...

    Time to move

    by  • 2 October, 2005 • General • 0 Comments

    We’re moving to a new address. The place we currently live in has become a bit problematic. First there was the (forced) public sale in April of 4 of the 8 appartments. Then 2 months later the owner put out adverts for the remaining 4 appartments. None of them have been sold yet, but...

    About money

    by  • 20 September, 2005 • General • 1 Comment

    Two weeks ago we had friends from Belgium over for their holidays. We had a nice meal together and in the course of the conversation the subject of money came up. When I told them what the average salary in Crete was, they were shocked to learn that I worked for the minimal legal...

    Sol’s credo

    by  • 14 September, 2005 • General • 1 Comment

    Once upon a time…. yes, it’s time for a fairy tale again ….there was a guy who had the nerve to think that he was good at problem solving. Let’s call him Sol for the sake of giving him a name. Not that the name has any importance or relevance to this story, it’s...

    Summer routine

    by  • 12 July, 2005 • General • 1 Comment

    And then it was summer, but really, like steaming hot! For the past 2 weekends (that would be all of June, till now) we have been going to the beach at Tombrouk full days. It’s the only place where we can get a bit a fresh air, and a regular cool-off in the sea....

    About time…

    by  • 12 July, 2005 • General • 0 Comments

    …that I kept you up to date, wouldn’t you say? I’m terribly sorry if I had you worried for a while there, but I’m really fine. It was just writer’s block. Or something like that. You can call it procrastination too. I just couldn’t bring myself to writing. I had lost any and all...
