my mom says I should open a bread and breakfast in Italy…
julia’s comment: It only makes sense, cuz your dad likes bread so much.

2,0 is threatening me with a strasbourg trip ‘just for fun’. What – you didn’t get the invite to Lisbon either?

and Happy birthday mate…a day early and I didn’t even need facebook to remind me ;)

it’s day one of the four day weekend, and every Friday is good…

I feel compelled to write something…

but I have nothing to say at the moment…

So I’ll give you this on Germans…

…and also add that the earthquake in Italy is a ways away from where I hope to soon be living :)

…and here's a special note for all the PS3 owners out there…

PS3 does not read NTFS. This could be a problem if you are converting a FAT32 drive with data on it that you want to keep or can’t move.

There is no unconversion (without a full reformat i.e. erase). Your alternative if you don’t want to reformat is to then run a media center through your windows PC. Which just complicates everything and there goes the simplicity of just simply plugging in an external drive to the PS3.
btw FAT32 does not read files larger than 4gb, so putting a full DVD on a FAT32 is not possible (hence the need to change it to NTFS).

That is all…

back in the sunny confines of Frankfurt.

It’s supposed to be 24° today. The cherry trees are bloomin’.
16.04.09. Dreikönigskeller an Irish punk/folk  band from Bayern. I’m going if anyone cares to join.

Chinese food.

I did try the chinese place last night…was OK. Not bad, not great, but I’m sure I’ll get back there again.

Heading home today. The two weeks just flew by. I will be back in a month or so.

Should have an answer in 6-8 weeks from the Italian authorities re: a move here. Then this blog can get back to “I’m confused foreigner” for a few months ;)

good news!
