2 months pause

Wow! It was almost 2 months after the last post... Have to write something more ;)
Today I'm going to see the neighbours and try to convince them to let us raise the house. Hope it goes well. In the meantime my girlfriend is writing her thesis. She plans to finish it before autumn. After she finishes university we will start living together - probably not in our house yet, but in an apartment. She will not go back to her mom and neither she wants to live at my place with my parents and sister. I completely understand her. I was already looking for an apartment in the neighbourhood, but it seems that now in summer it is not the right time... Only one with an reasonable price.
A few days ago I finally got some news about the car incident I suffered in December. On the 30th August I will have a examination from the "legal" doctor of the "Street Victim Found" that will reimburse me of the expenses instead of the guy with the false insurance. The only catch is that they won't pay the first 500€ of the material damage. I'll have to try and get those expenses from the guy. I also contacted the Police about the investigation they are conducting and they assured me that it's going on - that means they know nothing because now it's the court that conducts it.

The most enjoyable thing in those two months since the last post was that on the 17th June we released our first Travel Bug!!! A travel Bug is a Geocaching item that wanders from cache to cache with a precise mission. Our TB is named Žirafa Brina and she wants to visit all continents, while on the road she sends us back some postcard from the places she visits. The gallery of the images for here trip can be visited here. Right now she is somewhere in the Czech republic waiting to go overseas. She already traveled some 500km in roughly a month.

In the last days I played a little bit with some browsers under Linux changed Firefox with Swiftfox, tried Iceweasel and finally stopped with Swiftweasel. Of course I installed the i386 version on my AMD64 system to get rid of all the annoyances with the plugins. Under Kubuntu (and Debian) it just takes a --force-architecture and that's it :)
Later I'll try to post my favorite plugins for Firefox & relatives.
