Åke Leijonhufvud: Anna a Christian

Zaujalo ma meno autora. Ku Škandinávií prechovávam svoje sympatie a tak som si túto knižku v antikvariáte kúpil. Ani som nevedel o čom je. Až po roku som ju v jeden večer na intráku otvoril a začal čítať.

Celý román je o manželskej kríze dvoch úspešných ľudí a je písaný striedavo z pohľadu muža a z pohľadu ženy. Začal sa hádkou a pôsobil na mňa trocha depresívne a tak som knihu po 50. stranách zavrel. Vrátil som sa k nej o ďalšie 4 mesiace.

Nejak som cítil, že ju chcem čítať ďalej. Pamätal som si takmer všetko čo som si pred mesiacmi prečítal, čo sa mi často nestáva. A potom som ju čítal až do konca. Počas tohto obdobia som sám zažil dosť búrlivé obdobie v mojom živote a pochopil som niekoľko dôležitých vecí v medziľudských vzťahoch. A som tomu veľmi rád.

Keď som čítal Christianovu a aj Anninu časť, mal som pocit, že ich oboch chápem. Tým že sami seba hodnotili a pozerali sa na seba a svoju rodinu z tej dobrej aj zlej strany, mi boli obe postavy tak blízke, že som ich príbeh naozaj prežíval. A pôsobili veľmi úprimne a otvorene. Zato ich dialógy medzi sebou a inými ľuďmi boli plné skrytých výčitiek a narážok a často aj nepochopení.

Pre mňa bolo čítanie tejto knihy silným zážitkom. Miestami až nečakane silným.

  2. Znie to dobre, zapisujem sa do poradovníka. Tuším mám ešte tvoj Islandský zvon, ktorý som nedočítal. Donesiem ti ho do Kene :)

Windows 7 RC Ultimate on HP Compaq nx6110

I have never tried Vista on my laptop, because it is well suited for WinXP and I don't like Vista. But what if you can download the new Win 7 RC for free? I'm using Windows XP since I have bought my old laptop HP Compaq nx6110 (1,4 Ghz Celeron M, 768 MB RAM). WinXP runs on this laptop really fast and smoothly, but I have turned every "eyecandy" off and it looks like old Win95 now. But I like this neutral look. Last week I was closed in my room for two days installing and trying different Linux distributions. After this time I ended with Arch Linux installed on my hard drive - system was stable and either WiFi worked well. Then I realized, that I have spent so much time and done nothing useful. So I decided to work with WinXP and don't bother with other OS (like 2 weeks with Mac OS X a month ago). But NO. Incidentally I got to this website and started immediately download the iso image. The download process ran in Java and I had download speed about 800 KB/s, tha

Yamaha S08 - sticky keys repair

My keyboard Yamaha S08  suffered from several "sticky keys" disease already a year, perhaps more. That saying, I am pretty bad piano player. However, I like to have my devices fully functional for any cases. I have found a very helpful guide , but with no photos. I made some for better visualization of the repair. First, I unfastened all screws from both sides: Second, I unfastened all screws from a wooden base plate which were holding the part with electronics. Then I unfastened the golden screws holding the whole keyboard to the wood. The keyboard was now accessible from both sides. The last step is described in the following video. It was just removing the sticky keys and reinserting them without a metal spring coming inside. The end of the metal spring has been left outside of the key: So far it works well!

... Shenandoah River

“Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River”   John Denver: Take Me Home, Country Roads Shenandoah National Park is relatively close to NYC. It was May and we already knew that we were moving to Boston at the beginning of June. We only had a couple of weeks to visit this park by car since the distance from Boston would be too ... distant. Sure, there was a lot to pack and do but the mountains simply couldn’t wait. We hit the road early in the morning on May 22nd. The visit of West Virginia was not optional. We made a stop at Harpers Ferry.  We had dinner at a restaurant along the river and of course we made a quick stop at the Appalachian Trail Visitor Center (unfortunately it was closed due to COVID). Harpers Ferry was a beautiful quintessential small town with historical landmarks. At the end of the day we built our tent in Low-Water Bridge Campground . The Shenandoah river was flowing right next to our tent but we were so tired that we did not end up going
