A while ago I had to close down all the comments due to the excessive number of SPAM I was getting. Then I thought there is something wrong! What’s the point of a blog if visitors cannot leave comments. Apparently there are solutions available so I have to spend the weekend install some plugins on my blog to make it a bit more secure. So comments will be open in few days.

I know this is such a lame post, but when you have your own blog you can do this sort of thing. You can make lame posts all you want. Today is such a gorgeous day. Ocean is blue, it is sunny outside, but it’s only 17 degrees C, meaning that a jacket feels nice.

I’ve just had a big Grilled Salmon sandwich from Capers and a nice cup of Organic Fare Trade Coffee with cream and honey. My Jet lag and soar throat are gone and I feel pretty good today. I’m actually in pretty good shape to start a long weekend.

I am working on a new website for my company rmd Studio . I totally dig Flock which has made bloggin so easy, although I find it to be slower than the custom configured installation of Firefox that I use.

I fried my charger adapter when I was in Europe; not my fault, the 240 to 110 adapter that I bought from London Drugs was a piece! so I can’t take any new pictures until I buy a new battery charger for my camera.

I’ll be going for Showboat swing dance tonight, there will be maybe another 2 or 3 of showboat, so I better enjoy it while we have it

Vancouver is a cute and cuddly city, it’s the heaven on earth.

ps: I think this post wasn’t that lame after all

I am posting this using the flock browser. It is actually kinda neat, let’s see if I can get use to it.

Roma, Italia

Sore throat is better today. Jet lag is better too. I went out for showboat swing dance with my girlfriend again last night. It was loads of fun catching up with friends and get my dance fix again. I crashed at Teresa’s place, dreamed about Italia again. It was intense I woke up early morning sitting at the edge of the bed, I was absolutely sure at that moment that I was in my hotel room in Rome. It took a while until the image of room started to take shape and I realized that I am in my Girlfriend’s bedroom. Human mind is amazing …

Yay baby! my books are all here

I love books. All the geeky books that I’ve ordered are here now, I don’t know which one’s to start reading first.

Roma, Italia

I’m still dealing with the jet lag. I am also feeling a bit sick. Before I went to Italy I had been working 10 hours a day 6 weeks straight including the weekends. That totally killed my immune system and after a 25 hour trip from Vancouver to Firenze I got really sick. I drugged myself and went on a round of antibiotics so I could go sight seeing and refused to stay in bed. I felt much better in few days, but coming back from Italy I think the sickness is coming back again.

I still dream about Roma and Firenze at night, I think I was getting used to Italy after 2 weeks, although I’m really happy that I’m back to Vancouver. I like Vancouver, I think the nature, food and the friendly adorable people that we have here make Vancouver one the best places in the world to live in.
Yesterday Teresa and I went for Sushi. That’s one of the things I had missed about Vancouver.
I’m still going through piles of email, and messages on my answering machine left from friends and business associates.

I’m back from Italy. What a great Vacation, although I’m still feeling the dizzy because of the jet lag. I had a very difficult time to access high speed internet in Italy, it was so expensive (10 times more than Canada ) so unfortunately I didn’t have the luxury to blog and post images everyday.

I have managed to sort out and upload all the good images on my Flickr account and from today I will write more about my experience in Italy.
