Reading null's journal

More news about my life which you don't really have to care about. :-)

Yesterday was August 1st, Swiss national holiday. We had a barbeque-like family gathering at my mother's place and blew up lots of fireworks. Some unknown genius in the neighborhood managed to hit my car with not one, but two big-ass rockets. As a result my car is now plus a small dent in the bonnet (not that I'd mind that too terribly much) and minus a roof window. Wonderful. But apart from that, it was fun - we had, like, ten years' worth of exploding stuff and tons of food.

In other news, in 16 1/2 days it's throw-Orchid-into-the-pool time again! Summer finally has us in a tight grip of suffocating heat and merciless sunshine, and I'm really looking forward to spending a bunch of days in the shadow next to a distant hotel's pool.

Current computer-related project: Building an Internet-enabled version of the Cheapass Games classic Kill Dr. Lucky. So far it's going pretty well, altho it's far more complicated than I originally assumed it to be. Nevertheless all the basics are already done - what's left now is converting the game rules into machine-readable code.

Consider yourself hugged.

I am sorry to hear about your car null. But, glad to hear you had fun!!!

I should be ashamed of myself.

Thanks. :-) Well there's a reason I've got myself a father-in-law who runs a garage, so at least financially it could be far worse. I guess I won't park the car outside again next year!

Consider yourself hugged.

Yeah, that was a night to remember ;)
I already informed my father, so he'll probably soon get you a new window. I hope a call to the assurance will bring out more. :)

I can hardly wait till 19th of august. I'm luckier the closer the date comes :) Finally it's splash-null-from-his-deckchair-time again. Plus: Wonderful nights with wine and the sound of the sea on the balcony with looong talks, walks on the beach and don't mention the food! ;)

have a nice day alltogether! :)

What do you mean, "again"? It's not like you've ever succeeded, let alone got away without being thrown into the pool!

Consider yourself hugged.

Hmm... The day will come on which I'll succeed... be aware!

Sounds like a threat null. I would watch you back, and your car...

Ok null, I'll move to orange level alert...

You're here, aren't you? You're talking to me, aren't you?

Well, I figured it was an accident the first time (#25007). But when you did it again, I thought it must have been on purpose... which did not make sense... :p
