Warning: the images in this post were lost during an outage in 2016. The Broken Image Placeholder plugin automatically replaces missing images with a funny placeholder. On May 2 I happily started at Asus Czech Service in Ostrava. True, I missed Labour Day (for the lucky ones, the day of lovers) by a hair, so …

Praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ, from time immemorial for ever and ever, amen. My journey began the day before, on March 14, 2016 at 11:48 PM. I knew I was leaving much too early, but home had become unbearable, and if I ran into any delay on the way, at least I would …

I woke up at 10:42. Like every day, I first got dressed and then went to the PC to check what was new. Unfortunately, 3 messages were waiting for me there, written by a very sad person :'(. So I immediately wrote to her on FB, and when there was no response, I sent an …

I was just chatting with Pompinka as usual and we got onto the topic of reinstalling the operating system. She said she could use a reinstall too, but she has neither the money nor an HDD to back up her data to. So I offered to send her one of my HDDs that I don’t …

So it’s finally sorted out. Now I just have to stick with it and, after 20 minutes, stop thinking about changing things again :(. I know I loudly trumpeted here that I was leaving Vodafone because it has no 3G coverage around here. After a long time weighing which SIM cards (I had right on …

I thought I would be geocaching all the time in 2013, but reality was rather far from that wish. Even though I had invested quite a bit of money in a brand-new Kellys trekking bike, it did not push me to go caching more – instead I just fooled around at home and came up …

My trip started in the morning at 8:30. Originally the plan was to leave at 8:45, but my sis decided that we would leave earlier, so I had no choice but to adapt. So at 8:20 I was frantically trying to install a wireless printer on my laptop so I could print a map to …

For quite a while I had a problem where my PC would shut down under almost the slightest load (for example when I opened 35 tabs of SkyDrive albums at once in IE, but also during many other activities). At first I tried to open it myself, meaning I removed the screws, but when it …

Moments like these are the worst. This afternoon I felt a terrible urge to buy another SIM card, this time from the T-Mobile network, so that I could send texts for free from the web to T-Mobile numbers. I found out that the virtual operator Mobil.cz runs on the T-Mobile network, so I called the …

I woke up at 5 a.m. That darn kitten Pet apparently decided that since everyone was asleep and things were “boring”, she had to wake somebody up, and since I was the only one around and the door to the hallway was closed, she went for me. She crept under my duvet and started biting …
