Today we said goodbye to a very close friend. It got me thinking: the only thing worse than saying goodbye is never saying hello. I’m certainly not the first to say this. I’m just glad I did.
I’ll skip the bits about how cool it is to have my brothers with me here in Slovenia; it’s been a blast. In the short time they’ve been here, we’ve gone through at least a life time’s of adventure. As proof of this, I present the following video shot just a few hours ago.
Carbonite!
They have this tradition here in Slovenia where carbonite is placed in a barrel, soaked in water, and then tapped with something hot; a stick-on-fire is apropos. The explosion is something akin to a canon. Now, normally all goes on without a hitch. Until a Canadian shows up. If you haven’t already guessed it, this is not what’s supposed to happen.
Enjoy the show.
Received this painting from my niece yesterday. The girl’s got skill.
Thanks for the new desktop Arwen!
… and finds a colleague he hasn’t seen out for a while. The colleague invites him to a night of drinks but his wife is expecting him home soon for dinner.
Started this command this afternoon on a recently restored system:
find / -name .svn -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf
Still waiting for it to complete before I beerelebrate.
I hate subversion.
Note: is prolly an inappropriate command for a system-wide death. Don’t care.
