Ending crazy week of party in style

It’s been a busy week for me. Somehow I ended up having quite some fun before my birthday and the first day after. First it started last Friday in Frankfurt am Main seeing old colleagues back in the Irish Pub I used to go in Bergen Enkheim. After that we went to the city and into The Cave, a club I frequently visited last years. On the way home we met an English football fan who was eating Kebab and was a bit lost.

Visiting Edinburgh, Scotland

With mixed feelings I left Edinburgh early this morning. I spend more than 2 days in the historic capital of Scotland to celebrate my birthday, to have some real vacation, but more to fulfill my curiosity. I have seen lots of Edinburgh by walking through, but I failed to fall in love with the city, though I will go back and explore Scotland the country, as the Highlands are attracting me.

A colon in a filename

Well, it’s silly to blog about, but anyway.. From the department “You’re never to old to learn” comes today something about colons in filenames. Somehow a colon (:) is seen as a directory separator ‘/’. I’m using bash on Red Hat as shell, so no clue whether it’s same in other shell (and I don’t bother really). I guess it’s the path-separator playing tricks, or it should be documented somewhere. Let me know!

Visiting Edinburgh next week

Next week I’ll be Tuesday and Wednesday in Edinburgh, Scotland. I’m quite excited as this is actually my first planned vacation ever on my own, though it’s only 2 days. Why Edinburgh? Well, I wanted to do something unusual, something I don’t do every year. Scotland, Ireland, .. have always attracted me. I might go the Highlands next year in Spring if all goes well, and maybe even Dublin and other cities in Ireland later this year.

Bicycle tour: Down the Main, Wertheim-Miltenberg (part 2)

Today I did what I was planning on Sunday: driving down the river Main from Wertheim to Miltenberg. The plan now is to take the train at 7 in the morning and go to Wertheim, drive to Miltenberg and take train back to Aschaffenburg. I must say, it all worked out this time!
