Well... Been away for a while again... The bathroom & kitchen are finished (new plumbing, wiring and all), I am about 500€ in the red, but it's done... Now I need to get to the kitchen furniture and those bathroom towel racks, soap holders, various shelves etc... Damn. It's neverending. Then on to the room floor, than the wardrobe, then the computer desk and bed (I'm thinking about a gallery)....
A few days ago I installed ADSL at home, so I'm online 24/7 now... happy-happy-joy-joy!
And... I have two kittens with me now! Figured it was time to get a pet, then I got talked into getting two... They are insane! Pics will follow as soon as I get a decent camera, since my phone cam is shite...

Trust
Ever since we relocated our offices, the computers at work have been acting up. I'll skip the description of actual problems, since it's a rather boring list of usual stuff. What prompted me to write about the situation in the first place was the message you can see in the picture. The trust relationship failed? I mean, come on... It's like all the computers in the network are characters in a soap opera?! I wonder...

YAU
Since I was reminded that there haven't been any updates in a long time...
Well... Regarding the last entry - the room (yes, there is only one room) is done, but the kitchen & bathrooom are still as I found them. I'm going shopping for tiles, toilet bowl and shower tub this weekend, and during the next few weeks I should have the plumbing and tiling done. Following that, I'll go into furnishing the area - kitchen sink, cupboards etc.... I already have a fridge and a microwave oven (and I bought a toilet seat 2 days ago!). Blah....
I brought a TV set from my parents' house some days ago, but since I don't have an antenna, I can only get two or three channels, but that is going to be dealt with soon - I got a sattelite dish from a friend, I just need to mount it on the roof. People ask me why would I get a dish when there's cable TV all around? Well, I called the cable company (which is one of the worst in town, but since they're already in the building, I have practically no choice), and schedulled an appointment for them to come and set the bloody cable up. They didn't show. Motherfuckers. I mean, it's in their bloody interest to come and take my money, right? Fuck them I say. I don't need them. Plus, their internet prices are ridiculous. I'll get ADSL. I just need to get rid of that PCM device on my phone line. Which will need nerves and connections in the phone company. Damn. For the time being, I can dial-up from home at 28.8k tops. How's that for slow internet?
On the other side, I'm enjoying the blessings of living alone. Sometimes, I don't clean up my room for days - it's funny, but I enjoy the mess from time to time. Oink, oink says the pig. The good thing is, since the flat is so small (23 square meters) it only takes about 20 minutes to tidy up, vacuuming and all. I can even make it sort-of decent during the time it takes a surprise guest to climb the two floors :)
Anyway, I'm at work now and have stuff to do, so I'll be off now....
