Some Old Pictures

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

It’s been more than a year since I’ve transferred any of the files from my mobile phone to my computer and I finally did it ;)

the reason is that my Toshiba laptop P200-14O has poor Bluetooth support under Linux

to enable it, I had to install the omnibook module and start it with something like modprobe omnibook ectype=12

now for the fun part, lets start with an old photo of myself that my friend made a looong time ago

here it is

and this is my cell phone Sony Ericsson K-700i (guess which one)

this is a game I used to play A LOT
it’s called Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
I used to panzer the sh*t out of people
ah, the good days :P

here are some cool pictures of the hills of Soko Banja where I spent some good time last year

I was fascinated with this small object in the middle of the forest and I didn’t know at the time what it was
later I found out it was a small orthodox church people built probably on the site where the Turks killed some local people

then I saw a larger group of objects below it and I knew they were a restaurant/kind of hotel that I knew from before


here’s a view of Soko Banja from those hills

and then there is Soko Grad, an ex Turkish fortress, now a tourist site




and a look at the hills around the fortress


and finally something I laughed a lot about :D
this guy made a bull bar for his yugo car ;)






Novi Sad Meeting

Friday, June 6th, 2008

I met with some Linux friends at Novi Sad

there were people from all over Serbia there.

we had a chat about OpenOffice (that was rather boooring for me) and then we went to have some lunch.

after that we relaxed in a cafe

I traveled with two guys in an old Volvo from Belgrade

Here are the pics :)
