Counting days
Half of the tour
It’s the half of my tour in India. I am working about 10-12h a day including Saturdays. It’s hard to get anything done when getting parts or solutions from suppliers takes at least a week.
Biggest challenge for our business is actually the quality of Internet networks in India and international connections. We have outage at least one ever couple of days. International connections from India are also really bad, big latency and congestion.
I’ve recorded a long video ( about 20m ) from my daily commute from the Guest House which I’m staying at to my office. Enjoy the views.
Half around the world
So, I’m a bit busy now. I am developing bigger team to support IT services for Atticmedia and the whole BDP Media Group. Current location, India. The Atticmedia India is big enough to have their own IT staff. I am responsible for training of the staff and in the mean time, of my stay here, to assure high quality of IT service. The culture difference makes it even bigger challenge, but so far, I am enjoying it.
Back from Madeira
I’m back from week long vacation on Madeira Island.
I really enjoyed the stay on that rock in the Atlantic Ocean.
It has loads of hiking opportunities and amazing views ( if it is not cloudy or raining ). Driving there is an amazing experience which I really recommend if you like to sit behind the wheel.
Like a real island there are all(almost) weather conditions at once. On one side is bathed in nice sunshine, while the other one is all murky and cold.
For picture hungry people I’ve uploaded some. Madeira Album.
Just a gaming PC
Bought a PC, for gaming.
Yap, a Dell Vostro 200. I’m running MS Vista and playing games on it.
It will have Linux in about a month, when I will get bored of games for next 5 years.
So far, I am enjoying the world of computing where legitimate users have more trouble running their legitimate software and media copies.
How people can accept this kind of obstructions ?!
BTW, I have bought it using my vacation budget, it is a sort of travel in to another world, for a month, instead of really traveling over the weekend ( same budget ).
Off for short vacation
Last Weekend
Not this one, but the long one, I went to Poland. It was one day after I came back from NYC.
And even that I was staying one week longer that my brother. He was not able to give some present to my girlfriend before I arrived in Poland, due to Delta loosing his baggage … It turned on his doorstep last Tuesday.
Holiday
I’ve spent fortnights in NYC with my family. Pictures follow
This was back in second halt of April.
Main theme of that trip was wedding, Gosias and Rahuls. All done in traditional Indian way.
I was staying on Staten Island but few times we/I have went to Manhattan. Also paid a visit to Atlantic City, and some water park in Pennsylvania.
I’ve collected couple of gadgets : PSP and few games for it, Linksys WRT54G router. Also bought some cloths.
