Boywing - Go for Life: Chateaux Soutard et Saint Emilion
http://boywing.blogspot.com/2011/07/chateaux-soutard-et-saint-emilion.html
About life and about go and everything else. Chateaux Soutard et Saint Emilion. After the vineyard we went to see Saint Emilion which is a very cute old town. We bought the town speciality almond macorons filled with chocolate paste. Very tasty! Even better was the canelés! But I guess you can buy those everywhere in France, and I will. Our guide is explaining that there are only women working on the vineyard. The huge barrels used for fermentation. Here they let the wine age to taste well. On the road a...

Why I dislike (most) comercial software. First I wanted to write "hate". Instead of dislike - but that is not the truth. There are plenty of commercial software that I like - but most software vendors give me the creeps. This very thing makes it hard for you - the customer - to carefully sit back and weigh your options. Sure All you have to do is contact them and ask for a price. They'll give you an estimate. This is bull. Why use elaborate licensing schemes? This is also one of the reasons I don't parti...

random bits: Shanghai, take 2
http://pelthestout.blogspot.com/2011/07/shanghai-take-2.html
Shanghai, take 2. Since June 24th I've been in Shanghai attending the Shanghai go camp. We're at the same place as in 2009 - SISU Songjiang campus - which is just lovely! I really like this place, even the mosquitoes that seem to have an amourus relation to me - and only me. The venue can support quite a lot of people and the accommodations are outstanding! I sincerely hope that they will continue this camp 'cause I want to go back here! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Vencie of the far east.

random bits: adventures in vbscript
http://pelthestout.blogspot.com/2011/04/adventures-in-vbscript.html
This weekend I'll need to do some recreational therapy programming in SML, Haskel or Lisp. Well I have this problem at work that I need to solve. It involves modifying a lot of configurations on several windows workstations. Yuck. Not only that; I had to restart services, call some some services, alter the configuration back again and restart services. Again. Because that's what is available (and still usable to some extent). After all, I don't loathe php. Much anymore. And I almost like perl. Solution: ...

The Vencie of the far east. During our stay in Shanghai we took one day off to visit the city of Zhouzhuang. 周庄镇), a town in Jiangsu province. Built around water with canal streets throughout big parts of the city. The town has, since a couple of years, a strong focus on tourism; despite that the town still is very beautiful and most of the houses feel and look genuine - at least on the outside. There are a number of cities like this around China, but this is the most famous one. Links to this post.

random bits: In Hangzhou
http://pelthestout.blogspot.com/2011/07/in-hangzhou.html
I'm back in my favorite Chinese city - Hangzhou. We're staying at the Tianyuan tower again together with some 60 Chinese kids from all over China. Had an interesting experience in the lobby bar. I tried to order peanuts. Do you have any peanuts? Never mind. I'll have a brownie instead. Waitress stares at translation aid*. No sir, sorry. We do not have penis.

I received some questions about why I switched to VirtualBox. The answer will probably not excite you: it is packaged for ubuntu. What that means is that I automatically get updates to VirtualBox whenever I update the system. It was no big deal for me - I have no need to interact with others right now; it also helps that VirtualBox is a quite polished product that serves my needs just fine. 3 days to ubuntu 9.10! Links to this post. I really like VirtualBox. I few weeks back I had an 'interesting'. 2 Gre...
