Network care day. I’ve upgraded all home network hosts from Red Hat Linux 9 to Fedora Core 1. Numerous other changes have been made, like a global configuration of SpamAssassin and revival of MRTG and it’s migration to RRDTool. Everything went smooth and nice and I didn’t even have to use a backup. Hell, I didn’t even have a backup. :) And it still went fine… mr.Murphy must be out of the loop or something. :)

Today we woke up no earlier then 5:00pm. I immidiately went to change the spare from yesterday. It turned out that the tire couldn’t have been repaired and I needed a replacement. Guys at the garage gave me a reasonable second hand for 15 CYP. While I was waiting they were beering me with Leffe, feeding me with meat in pita, and appologizing for yesterday’s mobile failure. I don’t think I will use any other garage ever for my wheels. :)
After the repair I met with Hazard, picked up Olga and Lev, and we went for a delicios meal in “El Gusto” Italian restaurant. While mussles were not as good as they were last time, meat was excellent. But I what totally knocked me off, were the desserts. Actually, I don’t remeber that I had such a good impression just from the desserts. Hazard ordered El Gusto ice cream, which was most beautifully made, but was less then superior in taste. Tiramisu and El Gust special dessert were speechless. Bravo.
A quick old Russian comedy show “Maski” at Hazard and a bottle of red wine kind of finished the evening.

Finally, I’ve published all the recent photos. Some processing is still due, but the stuff you can see in the Photos section is as good as it will ever be. :)
Chesters Bar in the evening. When we were driving back, I’ve managed to find a biggest hole in the road and jumped in there with my front right wheel. Needless to say, the tire was gone. Luckily, I though, I knew one 24×7 tire shop, so me and Lev changed for the spare and I drove to the place. It was close. There was a mobile number on the sign, but it was not answering too. Too bad. Anyway, I can handle one day on the spare. :)
Finally, we ended up at Hazard’s place and watched one of the Olga’s presents – “Indiana Jones” movie. Actually she has all three of them from the boxed edition, but we could stay with one. :)
S.W.A.T
Still fixing my pictures and albums…. Some parts are published and can be enjoyed already. :)
In the evening went to see “S.W.A.T.“, which was somewhat slow and empty. Personalities were properly described, but it lacked action and meaning. It’s a kind of movie that gets forgotten next day. Pity, since it had the potential.

I’ve spent most of the day arranging pictures for the last two weeks or so. album.pl script that I used before seemed not good enough for me any more, so I wrote my own, which does almost the same, but in a better way. Immidiately after I’ve finished the script, I descovered that we have a disagreement with Olga about it. Further on, it seemed that we were arguing about almost every part that was different from the previous script. So, I added and changed some functionality. There is still some more to change. More arrangement and signing of photos.
Went to Chesters with Olga to meet my brother with few beers and presents along the way. Hazard came later on. Later, when Alex parted, we went to Hazard to watch “Delicatessen” – a nice French movie with somewhat dark humour. Some red wine helped it go. :)
