*294* photos and one video.
I think it’s enough…Now I have to organize them, choose the best ones, resizing them and upload them to Flickr..and eventually I’ll have printings of them!

Donation?

It seems a 60 GB SATA disk will be donated to me for FreeSBIE development. That’s great and it means my work is appreciated. Thanks.
As a side note, FreeSBIE 2.0 will have a script to enable/disable Tor+Privoxy+PF, written by Fabian Keil.

Today, [...]

Sailing

Nothing is better than sailing.
Yes, I can go on and write a long post, describing what I feel while sailing, what I feel after, why you never get tired of sailing, even if few activities are as tiring as sailing.
