I read blogs for a living

And I think I like it

Back from vacation

,

Yeay! Finally back from four weeks of vacation. I've never been away so long before, at least not since I was in high school.

A lot of weird stuff has happened during my time off, and during Monday there will be pictures to prove it . Anyway, some highlights were:

  • Fighting a chair on a boat (with half of my face covered in blood from a cut I got above my left eye)
  • Reading three excellent novels (reviews incoming)
  • Almost riding a (cliché) donkey
  • Attending a rock festival where main ingredients were dry fish pounding and dark beer
  • Missing My Opera
  • Getting tanned
  • Found a Spider-Man figure I could hug
  • Hiring Oleg Melnychuck
  • Get a huge phone bill

Stuff to do:

  • Investigate downtime issues
  • Produce community news
  • Read 2500 emails
  • I'm having problems locating my firewire cable so I can upload pictures, but hopefully this will fixed when I return to work on Monday (got a lot of hardware stuff there).

    Leaving for vacation is good, but coming home is also good. I hope you've had a great holiday as well. smile

It seems to me that you got a great time on vacation! I took a -short- vacation myself and got caught in the middle of a hurricane. Unfortuantely for me, I didn't receive 2500 mails.

Welcome back! And sure, you should investigate those downtime issues!

Wow, a hurricane! I experienced a major forest fire in Greece, which was pretty intense. They had 'em choppers come in and get water while I was like swimming 200 meters away (at least it felt like that).

Fortunately for you, you didn't receive 2500 emails.
