Last weekend in Alicante the Volvo Ocean Race 2008/2009 started. It was quite bad weather the entire weekend, so there was no point in going there to see it. However it is very exciting to follow the race online! As in the past edition they have set up a lot of interactive tools to enjoy [...]

package from China
Just now the mailman rang my doorbell; he had with him a package from China. Mia mailed me a box with bedding and pillows a couple of weeks ago and thus it had finally arrived! It was all perfectly fine (nothing much can happen to it, right?), although the box hardly looked like a box [...]

tutoring Chinese
Last week or something I met a guy in the elevator of my building. He is from Nigeria, has studied in the States and is now en route to London to continue his study. We chatted a bit and after learning that I had spent time in China, he said that his plan is to [...]
Chinese shops
Finally found a street with some Chinese shops today! A co-student told me where to find them, in the station area. So I walked there and found 2 shops, one with live fish and fresh veggies and meat and the other more “supermarket”-like with different kinds of chillies, dried, sauce, even sambal and finally real [...]
Happy Miercoles and Valencia Day
Every Wednesday at my school it is Happy Miercoles (Happy Wednesday), all students that want to participate go with 1 or 2 teachers to a bar for a few drinks and afterwards you can join dinner. A good opportunity for me to get to know some people, so I decided to join. My class finished [...]
my 2nd day in school
When I arrived at school yesterday they had made some changes as my co-student canceled an hour before. So instead of giving me 4hrs per day, they changed it now into two hours per day for the first week, but then guaranteed private lessons, plus on Monday 4 hours private class. Well, that’s ok with [...]

Twitter feed
Just deleted my daily Twitter feed, because I already got tired of it. Changed it into a weekly feed, which is more appropriate imo. Also had a look at the feed from delicious, same thing: not entirely interesting. But their blogpost feed is still in beta and they don’t have the option for weekly feed [...]
new WordPress plugin for comments
Oct 04, 2008 Published under WordPress 1,216 views
Due to a serious lack of DVD’s (have all of them 500 coming in my shipment) I had another “browsing the web”-evening. And I found this awesome comments plugin! It’s called WP Comment Remix. OK, you might bring up that my blog does not need a sophisticated comments system, but then again, it’s already pretty [...]
