* 25.09.2005, 11:00 - 13:00 having breakfast with people from an IRC-channel i am joined in vienna. nice people, nice talking, nice breakfasting, no nice pics. * 25.09.2005, 13:30 - 16:30 climbing the "anninger" (lower-austria, gumpoldskirchen). nice woods, nice plants, nice animals (although pretty annoying), nice trip, very very very very nice companionship, nice pics. * 28.09.2005, 21:30 - 22:00 fetching k-thrin from the train station. then going to a party in hagenberg. actually it was a three-in-one party: - homecoming of c-na, from her internship in australia - farewell to n1k and k-thrin, both going abroad - birthday of c-na and GangMan nice party, nice people, nice talks, mostly nice music, and most important for you (as i guess), nice pics.

been to the zoo yesterday with zombiequeen. we went to the zoo in schmiding. though it was raining all the time, loads of animals were outdoor (out of their indoor-cages that is). see a few pix of those lovely creatures here. furthermore there is a small museum included in the zoo-area too. we went there to stay away from the rain for a few mins. thanks to zombiequeen for this beautiful day.

boah, quite impressive country. cool landscapes, flora and fauna. of course a hand-selected collection of pix i have taken is online here. well, my plan was to take a picture of every cat i see, but some were pretty shy and ran away too fast or stayed too far away so even my 5x digital-zoom was not good enough. but i caught quite a lot of cats anyway. my girlfriend and i did some trips through the south-region of portugal, named "algarve". we went there by bus and guidance. we had a boat-trip too, going into caves - pretty impressive. one thing was really shocking: the prices for connectivity in internet-cafes. the cheapest offer was 80 (european) cents for 10mins. the most expensive one was 125 (european) cents for 15mins. so i only was online for 20mins within this week. puh, pretty tough, but i made it... ok, enough blah blah for now - enjoy the pix.

ok, being on vacation now for one week, and my company had loads of work for me. unlucky me, i'm not in portugal yet but sitting in austria, being online and fixing their stuff. oh well, they will manage to get everything working without me too. i'm sure. at least... i hope they will. leaving for portugal tomorrow. never been there. people say it's wonderful. i think i like most the fact they have an internet-"C@fe" there "with a fast ADSL lines [sic]". the village i'm going to even has a homepage. listed in the FAQs as number 3: "I was wondering if there is an Internet Bar?". so, looks like a perfect place to stay... and if the environment/"ADSL lines"/weather is crap i have a wonderful, beautiful, admirable, adorable, bikini-chick at my side! *slurp* what else happened the last few days? well, not too much. my girlfriend and me slightly ran into troubles finding a cat-sitter for little cutie "lilo". but we found the perfect one, i guess, namely H-nes. though he still has to fight for lilos sympathies i'm sure the two will get along very well after a few days. meow. i met a few IRC-friends in vienna. never seen them before in real-life. we started at pandoras-box where they have tabletop-football games. while we were playing just for fun there, we were asked if we wanna join a tournament. we agreed, forming two teams. since my female team-mate got hungry while we were waiting for our first tournament-game we decided to loose as fast as possible. well, in fact all other competitors were far way better - guess they were semi-professionals. but in our four games we achieved 8 goals! wow... afterwards we went to "chelsea" having a lot of fun again. ok, not too much text at once. that's what i dislike about blogs. besides, if i write too much, no one believes in the boringness of this blog anymore.
