Me, Marianne and Sanna took a ferry to Latvia this tuesday and just got back.

Riga is not quite as depressing as Tallin, but not so far off either. It’s ok to visit, but nothing that I will long to visit again.

Glenn Miller Café

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009 | Author: Frank

Yesterday my old friend Dossen came to visit. After strolling through town, visiting comic book shops and having lunch, we later went to Glen Miller Café together with Marianne.

The food was great (as always), the music (Sara Hedman Kvartett) was classy and temperature was high. We all had a good time, and later went back to my place and was joined by Fredde.

The photos below are from both mine and Dossens cameras (his is way better), and I just had to do a photoshop version of something I have wanted to to for years: put a lightsaber in the hand Karl XIV Johan’s statue at Slussen, Stockholm.

: Dossen at Taco Bar

: Karl XIV Johan with a lightsaber

: Gee.. love. :)

New web server

Friday, July 17th, 2009 | Author: Frank

I have now moved the web server from my old VIA 800Mhz Win2k machine to the considerately faster Raid Radio machine.

Hopefully, this will make the web server snappier and more responsive than the last one. If you come across any bugs or experience particular pages as slow, please leave a comment and I will look into it.

A weekend in Strängnäs

Thursday, July 09th, 2009 | Author: Frank

Last week me and Marianne were in Strängnäs, just checking out the place. Later the first day we met up with Jens and Linda, who had taken their boat there the same day.

Good times!
