Microsoft needs to give developers a break...
As some of you might know I'm one of those hardcore guys that live on the bleeding edge. I don't like sitting back idle and watch the world go by. Almost everything I own which is electronic I make at least the attempt to modify/hack the thing...
Great Tool : SpaceMonger

What I did during my summer vacation...
What an amazing trip it was. 14 days of driving around a large portion of Europe . The only thing we (my Fiancé Katerina and I) pre-booked was the first two nights in Amsterdam so we could recover from the flight. We simply chose a destination in some...
Leaving in 1/2 hour for Europe...
Goodbye Email, Blogs, Msn, Canada, North America Hello 9 hour flight, 15 days of touring, Amsterdam, Zurich, Venice, Rome, Paris If I can get to a machine while I'm over I will try to blog something, but dont hold your breath. :) I'm bringing about 1...
