Trip to Saxony

My parents are here for the weekend, and after we went to the zoo of Nürnberg yesterday, we drove to Hohenstein-Ernstthal, the place where my great-grandfather was born. Admittedly, the town is better known for being the birth place of someone a bit more famous: German writer Karl May. Hohenstein is a nicely restored little town with some old buildings. It definately deserves a lot more recognition by tourists.

Hail Hail Rock'n'Roll

This year's Bardentreffen here in Nürnberg was great again. We (Angus, Dal'Noc, Eisfuchs, lynard_, Reesa, sibserag, thecrow_ and I) listened to many excellent bands and had lots of fun. On Saturday night I cooked the traditional Reitersuppe. Well, the tradition is that I cook that soup on Saturday night of the Bardentreffen for my guests. :-)

Fur Camp

The location: a campground in Autenhausen near Coburg. My rig: a tent, a crate of beer, a crate of lemonade, a crate of water, sunscreen, "Off! Deep Woods" repellent (the stuff actually works in Germany, at least it keeps off horseflies.) The guests: about 30 furries from all over Germany. The hosts: eosfoxx and madCat. The mood: perfect. The pool: excellent. The landlord: Siggi. The weather: too hot, one thunderstorm. The sunburn: itching. The BBQ: great. The pizza service: poor. The weekend: perfect.

Meme time, again?!

ISDN / VoIP solution?

After reading that AVM is dropping their Linux support for passive ISDN cards I was looking for a long-term replacement of my current fax and voice mail solution.

Sunday car trip

I went on a day trip yesterday to test my new car navigation system in a non-familiar region. Even though I had been researching possible destinations for a couple of days, I decided rather spontaniously to drive to the wild animal park Bad Mergentheim. I have to appologise to lynard_ for not asking to join me, but I was afraid to call him up at 6 on a Sunday morning... :-)
