Stuff that really fits nowhere else

Neujahrs-Spaziergang 2010

Auf dem fast schon traditionellen Neujahrsspaziergang (dieses Mal ohne Hannah) hatte ich endlich mal wieder den Gucki mit. Das Resultat nach 1,5h im Schnee zwischen Elverdissen und Brake:

– 3 Kormorane

– 1 Waldbaumläufer

-2 x 20-30 Wachholderdrosseln

– 1 Zaunkönig

– 10-20 Lachmöwen an der Aa

– 1 Rotkehlchen

– 1 Schwarm Buchfinken

– 2 Kleiber

– 1 Buntspecht

The lights are back on…

After checking the cables, wall sockets and other stuff, the electrician decided it was safe to turn the electricity on again in the ex-water logged house of my mother in law.

Thanks again to the neighbors Müller and Heitholt for letting us suck their electric juice for four days and nights in a row to power the drying fans inside the building, it’s much appreciated.

The house has already become considerably drier ever since Jens turned the heating back on on christmas eve morning: Going from 3 fills of the condensation catchers a day back to one in 24h is a good sign.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Wow! Twenty cm of snow over the weekend, the world looks, smells and feels magic. Just came back from a bit of sleighing down the local hillsides with Hannah, great fun! We went to the Schützenhof where we used to to live a couple of years ago, great times….

And the place where we happen to live now, the “Mozartstrasse”, camera was fighting with the low light a bit:

Back to work tomorrow… 😉

Welcome

hoover

Hi folks,

welcome to Hoover’s new home on the web. After more than 15 years of maintaining my private web pages, I thought it was high time to move to something new. While my own Zope based custom solution still fit the bill, it was severely lacking in doing a quick update, new page and what have you, so for now, I’ve decided to give wordpress a try which seems to have all the features I require for easy maintenance and quick “updateability”.

I’m currently in the process of moving over the old content to the new location, so you may run into some rough spots here and there.

You can also follow me on twitter (“hoover67”) if you’re interested in my daily (un)doings.

All the best, Uwe
