Sorry for not keeping you on what I'm all into right now. It's been pretty busy. I think I mentioned earlier that my car wasn't running the way it's supposed to lately. Well now it does. After investing ~2500 LTL I finally enjoy riding it again. A lot of parts were replaced, brand new braking system, ABS sensor, bearings, radiator, thermostat etc. And it finally feels so good to control that thing. No noise from the wheels, steering or braking systems, no unexpected behavior.
I visited a couple of plays at Domino theater during last months, but they didn't make a big positive impression so it's not probably worth to write a lot on this subject. De-Phazz and Milky Lasers concert on the other hand was really good. I really enjoyed listening to that electronic jazz music and feeling all the energy literally floating straight at us. These guys have huge experience and they sure know what they're doing. I heard from my friends that they keep bringing same program every year, but since this was the first time I ever saw De-Phazz live it really made me feel elevated. They have amazing vocalists, ubelievable saxophone playing guy and very funny looking guitarist.
Last month I aged 25. Yes, I'm already alive for ore than a quarter of a century. We went your for some bowling game with my closest friends, had a couple of beers. I got a bunch of table games as presents, a dart-game, and some cache. And i finally made my old dream come true. I got myself a MacBook. And it's the new aluminium version.
It's been a couple of weeks since I brought it home from Kaunas but I still can't get enough of it. It seems every single aspect is thought through over and over again.First of all it looks incredibly, weights only 2 kilograms and is very tiny, thin and compact. I've never got to use MacOS long enough before so it took me some time to get used to it. I don't only have to learn new key shortcuts but I have to start thinking different in some cases. Completely new filesystem, new user experience, new visual elements, directory structure, privilegies etc. The hardware seems to work fine as well. The battery doesn't last 5 hours as Apple states, but I still can work 3 hours or more without any wires. The screen is only 13.3", but is very bright and glossy. There's a tiny iSight camera on top of it and light sensor for controlling displays backlight level. The keyboard feels great but it takes some time so get used as well. The trackpad is probably the best new thing after my last laptop. Yes, the last one had a touchpad as well, but this thing is something completely different. It's huge, it all works as a button and you can perform all kinds of multi-finger gestures here!!! I love scrolling feature using two fingers or switching between program windows using four of them. This thing is very intuitive and comfortable.
A couple of my friends and me are going to go snowbiarding this year as well. We already ordered a couple of rooms in Austria. But I'm hoping to do that in Latvia before going there in March. Anyway, no snow here yet.
This week was pretty hard for me. Horrible toothpain started one day so I got me some medication in order to stop that. It helped at first but then later I had to do something else and do it fast. I called several dentost offices, but all of them were busy so they couldn't help me. Finally my colleague Almantas recommended one clinic for me and they agreed to check my teeth out. After some drilling and things like that I'm free of that damn pain again. For a couple of days that was the only reason neccessary for me to feel happy :)
That's it. Keep yout teeth clean guys :)
