I just discovered my favorite drink…

…It’s called “Black Soul”. It’s 50/50 Black beer and strong mead (and I’m talking 15%-20% here).

I drunk 0.7l in 1 hour

I’m fucking drunk 😛

The barI don’t know any other place that makes it but the alde Germane is the place I discovered it. And let me tell you, that place rocks!

It’s a little german ” pub” (Don’t really know any other way to describe it) that’s been open since 1450. Yes, that’s the 15th century…And it hasn’t aged a day!

The WallIt’s full stone, no bricks, iron or wood (and I’m guessing fucking cold in the winter). It serves drinks in horns, iron or wooden mugs and chalices. The barman and bar woman are dressed in medieval clothing, leather skins are on the wooden benches/seats and generally, the whole feeling is medieval to the bone. Just the place a guy like me would love.

I went there because I was invited by a couple I met last Friday in the Rock Times, when I went to see Arthur. We started talking and when they discovered that I was a gamer, they invited me to join them there.
This was their first meeting, and they plan to meet there once per month and make the third tuesday of every month like a gathering fore medieval gamers (LARP, RPG etc)

The CrowdUnfortunately this time there were not a lot of gamers, but we did get to meet a couple that patronizes the place.So we had someone to talk since no other gamers showed up. No worries though since the place is worth it. The staff is great, the music is great (I went in when they were playing Loreena McKenitt and left while they were playing In Extremo) and the drink is really great!

I stayed there for about 2 hours and I met some great people. All that’s left is to do is just convince Arnoc to join me for the next visit 😉

I have a quote in my mind

As I was taking a bath, a quote started to materialize in my mind.

“Saying that creationism is valid because evolution has some gaps, is like saying that a circle is truly a square because you cannot define all the digits of Pi.”

Does it make sense to anyone? Too geeky perhaps? Ideas to improve it?

Αυτόματη αναβάθμιση

Είναι επιτέλους καιρός να κάνω μία αναβάθμιση του WordPress και αποφάσισα να το κάνω με την βοήθεια ενός πολύ καλού plugin που ανακάλυψα μέσω του WordPress GR.

Το δοκίμασα ήδη στην δοκιμαστική εγκατάσταση μου και δούλεψε μια χαρούλα, αλλά το πρόβλημα είναι οτι η αυτή η εγκατάσταση είναι λίγο παλαιώτερη καθώς και πολύ πιο γεματούλα. Γενικά τρέμει το φυλλοκάρδι μου διότι ακόμα θυμάμαι τι τράβηξα την προηγούμενη φορά και τελικά αναγκάστηκα να εγκαταστήσω καινούργιο theme (Όχι οτι το μετανοιώνω ή κάτι τέτοιο)

Ήδη έχω φτάσει στο 3ο βήμα. Τώρα βαθιά ανάσα και…

Update: ΟΚ, τα κατίφερα! έκλασα μπανάνες όταν η MySQL απο πίσω άρχισε να κλαίει και οι σελίδες να μην φορτώνουν αλλά σύντομα ανακάλυψα πως ήταν μια ατυχής σύμπτωση. Ο σέρβερας που με χοστάρει για κάποιο λόγο τα ψιλοέπαιξε και ούτε την σελίδα της Dreamhost δεν μπορούσα να ανοίξω. Ευτυχώς τα πράγματα φαίνεται να επανέρχονται σιγά σιγά στο κανονικό, και η αναβαθμισμένη σελίδα μου δουλέβει κανονικά 🙂

Επίσης βρήκα και την ευκαιρία να γραπώσω μερικά ακόμα plugin που μου φάνηκαν χρήσιμα. Είδομεν

Wacken's 300

A member of our Wacken trip, seems to have a quite a good skill at making videos, he has mixed up his takes from Wacken and created a little trailer, as a taste of what happened. It was created with a little 300 theme in mind.

You can see it below, or if you’d rather have a more lite version (it is 40MB), you can head over to Youtube where he has uploaded it as well.

W:O:A 2007 Gallery filled

Faces to loveSo, I’m back as you probably figured out. No big post yet but the gallery for the festival is filled with stuff. Until I can get around to writing the damn blogpost check it out and feel free to comment on stuff.

Unfortunately, two of my better and bigger vids where corrupted after I took them (no idea why. Size I guess?). But if you think you might be able to restore them, by all means attempt it! I’d be grateful if you did.

As for the post, I’ll try to split it into two parts. The first will be about my experience in the festival and will be hosted here, while I’m planning on writing the second over at my last.fm journal just for the heck of it.

Write to you soon.

WoA ready

  • Pile of camping stuff: Ready
  • Shit Kickers (To hold against the rain): Ready
  • Pozer outfit: Ready!
  • A crapload of torrents downloading: Done!
  • Rsyncing my whole music collection to ftp since I have the time: Why not.

Alls good. I probably forgot a shitload of stuff which will mean that I will end up in a very bad situation but what the hell. Lets screw up.

Wacken 2007, here I come!

Bicycle protection

I had to investigate after having my own bike stolen when I really should have done it before but at least I’ll know better next time right?

In any case, here’s some quite good information on how to protect your bicycle. Next time I’m certainly buying two types of locks and leaving the bike in the ECB parking spot.

With the number of [tag]bicycle[/tag]s around, I really wish Frankfurt had a bait program like the one the Victoria police department implements.
