It’s been some time

… since I’ve made here any updates – sorry for that!
But the last few weeks I was quite too busy with my new love – GOLF ;-)

So, what happened exactly the last 2 months?

IT things…
Finally updated / upgraded my iPhone 3GS to the iOS 4.0.1 incl the JB – thanks for this again to the DevTeam.
These guys are GREAT!
Would never use an iPhone w/ out some JB-features (SBSettings is IMHO smth that should be implemented officially by Apple – this is one of the best JB-features ever!).

At the same time my 1TB external HDD died … *sob sob* lost all my vids, pics & mp3 :-(
Acc to Maxtor / Seagate they only change the HDD with a new one – but no data-recovery :-( this will cost what? EUR 1k acc to several webistes? Have to find here a solution somewhere else…

Found these days a real cool tip how I, living outside the US, would be able to watch HULU – but after the first try, which was a real success, this trick doesn’t work anymore… :-(  Looks I have to *Shhhhh…. don’t tell* return to the torrents to watch “my” US-shows…

Did you knew that TRAVELPOD started a new cool feature, called TRIPWOW ?!?
I didn’t until someone posted a comment on one of my pods…

Check it out here for my
trip to Thailand back in 2007

Golf things… (4/365) :: Golf Thursdays
Me gets better and better in this “game”… or is it a lifestyle? A philosophy? Don’t know… but I love this game :-D
Was even able to get a better handicap – now I’m no longer a 54-starter player but a 51-player ;-)
One of those golf forum guys I know also in person participated at the same tournament than me – he was able to get HCP 36 at this tournament while I haven’t improved any. Believe it or not – when we met at the 19th hole he was more or less masturbating on his scorecard coz He Is The Man… sorry – but that’s sick.
Only coz he was having one good day where he was able to make such a big handicap improvement doesn’t mean he’s a better golfer… when I take a look at my private rounds I know that my un-official handicap is also 36 (and better).
To give you an impression on my golf results you’re welcome to visit my “golf site” here.

Following chart will give you also a rough & quick impression about my golfing progress… doesn’t look that bad – if you keep in mind that I’m playing golf now for less than 1 year, right? ;-)

 

 

Most on this sport I like is the fact that I can fully relax – going on a 6 to 7 km walk, hitting some white balls from time to time, having a chance to see really nice landscape & animals… it’s really a good way to “get rid of office stress”.

Work related
Photograph of the M1 in Johannesburg. Original...Back on Friday I was told that I have the “permission” to go to an exhibition down in J’Burg in October – by my own!
Looks like 10 years in this company are finally worth the trouble and grey hairs ;-)
And, if everything’s going smooth and Doug is willing / in the mood to, I’ll be also able not only to be there for work but also for 1 or 2 rounds of golf in South Africa – have heard the courses there are GREAT… *keke*
More on this will follow of course – maybe even with a separate Travelpod… you’ll be the first to know :-)
