My NAS is up and running now
Topic: ICT

Ufff, it took me 20 months to find patience to setup my Thecus N5200B NAS which was purchased in December 2006. Firmware-Updates to Host and Drives before setup. After some hours I must say this is a fine system.

Now it's said but not done...
Mood:  incredulous
Topic: Work

Wow, another year has passed. No entry to the Blog for over a year!!!

 

You know meanwhile I'm 40 now and IT starts to hang. It? Guess what (belly?)?

 

3 years after my original decision the right time has come. So it’s said now, but still it has to be done and completed. For now it’s still a secret. Tell ya what’s about when the secret has been opened.

Sleepless in Eschenbach
Mood:  not sure
Now Playing: Mix Megapol (Swedish Radio Station)
Topic: Life

Wir hatten einen schönen Abend mit Edith und Seppi. Die Ausfahrt mit dem Adler (Baujahr 1939) und das Essen in der Kaltenherberge war unser Hochzeitsgeschenk an sie. Ich hoffe die Überraschung ist geglückt...

Irgenwie ist mir der Wein nicht gut begekommen, mein Magen ist echt übersäuert. Seit 6 Uhr kann ich nicht mehr schlafen und bin aufgestanden. Zeitung gelesen, eMails auch, was könnte man noch machen?! Wieder mal einen Blog-Eintrag. Here it is.

 Mal sehen was der Sonntag noch bringt.

Company name change - good bye BISON welcome PC-WARE
Mood:  blue
Topic: Work
I'm now 15 years with the company. Wow, time is running!

In all those years we had several name and CI/CD changes. Originally called AGRO-DATA AG, then Computer AGROdirect, then BISON Schweiz AG, then BISON Systems AG and from April 1st 2007 onwards we are PC-WARE Systems (Schweiz) AG.


Overall the last five years as BISON Systems AG were good years, where business became better and better the last 3 years.

We will see what the future will brings us or more approaching "bringing the future to the present".

Wettrusten fur Weihnachten und Neujahr
Mood:  irritated
Topic: Life
Ach wie schon ist sie doch diese Festtagszeit. Doch dieses Jahr ging uns einiges auf die Nerven. Nein, wir sind nicht die typischen Norgeler oder Bunzlischweizer. Aber zwei, drei Feststellungen machen einem einfach nachdenklich.

Die hochgerusteten Weihnachtsbeleuchtungen an Eigenheimen oder auch so mancher Blockwohnung leuchten Jahr fur Jahr immer fruher und greller. Sie sind ja nur ein sichtbares Zeichen unserer Uberfluss- und Konsumgesellschaft. Wenn das so weiter geht, brauchen wir in Zukunft sicher zusatzliche AKW's.

Am Silvesternachmittag haben wir uns uber all die Feuerwerksverkaufsstande in den Stadten und Dorfern gewundert. Nun wissen wir auch warum. Kaum im neuen Jahr angekommen, knallte es aus allen Rohren. Unsere Kids (4 und 6) erschraken und fragten ob jetzt 1. August sei. Und als die erste Rakete an unser Fenster prallte fragte der Sohn ob das jetzt eine Bombe sei. Nein, Bomben waren das zum Gluck keine.

Bomben also nicht, aber wie ist es mit den Sturmgewehren und Waffen, welche wir Schweizer zu hause haben. Trotz super duper Weihnachtsbeleuchtung bleibt so manches Herz traurig und alleine. Da verwundert es nicht, dass gerade in der Festtagszeit so mancher freiwillig aus dem Leben scheidet.

Wir fur uns erfreuen uns sehr gerne an schonen offentlichen Weihnachtsbeleuchtungen und lassen lieber die Korken knallen als die Raketen. Prosit Neujahr.

Maximilians first fish
Mood:  lucky
Topic: Life
Taking all together I must say that it was a cold, rainy weekend.

Friday evening the weather was still ok and we met Annemarie and Elizabeth at Isabelles place. Now we are up to date about life of our Californian family members. Tim has a new company called ZING (www.zing.net).

Yesterday I finally made my 2005 tax report (Ufff this was hard to do as 2005 is so far away and papers got somehow lost in our house...). In the afternoon we went for family skateboarding to Lucerne. Before we really started heavy rain stoped us. We then went for a coffee an Icecream to Moevenpick Kantonalbank. At night I went to cinema to see Superman returns in Capitol 4. The original Superman was my first big screen cinema attendance back in 1978. I remember that my cousin Barbara was so kind to take me to the cinema with her car.

Today I worked on a contract in my home office. To have at least some sort of a sundays experience we all left to the Sempachersee for fishing in the afternoon. We catched about 10 Sonnenbarsche and a few perch (Egli). Maximilian at least catched one fish on his own while Yael still needed some help. We took 8 Sonnenbarsche to our home. They are in a large watertank now and will survive some days. We had to take them as it's not allowed to let them back into the lake as they are foreigners and need to be exhausted here.

Minutes ago I sent the contract for review to the customer. To do something good to me for the work, I just placed a bid on eBay for a rare copy of Iron Soldier 3 for my Samsung N504 Nuon DVD-Player. We'll see if I will be the winning bidder.

Good nite...Urs

[ql-users] North American QL Show 2006 - America I'm coming...
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: Swiss Radio DRS 3 - Live from Bern Robbie Williams Tour coverage
Topic: QL
Just 15 minutes ago I've got the confirmation from my frequent fyler programme that my desired flights are confirmed.

So then: I will attend the QL show in Niagara Falls next month!

I'm happy to meet good old friends and chat on black box issues.

In a storm of QL enthusiasm I just downloaded QPC2 V3.22 and fired it up. It runs, but what should I do with it now? It's around 2 years since I QLed the last time. Did I really have forgotten how to operate my system? ;-) Working with Windows day by day makes it quite hard to operate the QL's console (SBASIC), QPAC2 and even my own tool QTop.

BTW: Is the show the place to buy QDT and get first hand support? Or is there a German version or something which is only available at JMS?

Today is the first of two Robbie Williams concerts in Switzerland. We were not able to go, but we did feel Robbie in Amsterdam this June. One reason why we were not able to attend was the mandatory info-event of Maximilians school. But this was rather boring. Teachers are somehow a special kind of humans...
