First their is the weather. One would think that the dresscode is a short with a T-shirt. Helas, no such luck. A T-shirt is part of the wardrobe but safely tucked away under a sweater so one will not freeze ones nipples off. Offcourse long pants are the best match to this wardrobe choice and good warm socks to make sure that the carriers of our body will not shiver of coldness.
Secondly i decided to grab my hobby by the horns and finally got myself a chess trainer/coach to get me finally across that magic elo-border of 2000 points. Cross your fingers he is not a slavedriver so that i still have time to blog.
Thirdly i am looking forward to my vacation which starts at 31 july. Never had that before. Maybe it's the fact that it's the first year i work fulltime. When working half-time one has plenty of free time. By full time you have to scrape each second of the hours of your free time so that you can do something else then cooking, cleaning, doing the dishes, ... .
Fourthly it's the first time i will be going outside the safe borders of Belgium for a part of my hollidays. Oke, it's only to The Netherlands to play in a chess tournament but planning the trip, how to get there, where to stay, find cheap place to eat, ... is also mighty exciting.
So it is, will be, a weird summer for me, aswell negative as positive.
I feel hurt, really hurt.
First hurt is from putting my heart back into my chest after it jumped out from joy when i read about the resurection of efx2blogs. Second hurt is that i am in doubt of returning because, believe it or not, i kinda fell in love with vox after spending some considerable time here to know the bloghost.
Oke, vox still needs some tweeking, like decent comment alerts and stuff but then we may not forget that efx2blogs went more then one time down on us, letting us hang between desperation and angryness, which frankly said, wasn't good for my nerves.
Oh, what to do? Which step to take? Staying or going back to efx2blogs? Double posting, but with which bloghost as primary blog? Questions, questions, but no answers to follow since each step has it's merrits and it's flaws.
Vox, at first i wasn't impressed about it since i was spoiled by Modblog and EFX2. Now, after i had some playtime with the gadgets and tools i must say i am impressed with what Vox has to offer. Some aspects, like this create applet i find actually the best i have seen so far at any bloghost i have visited. It has all one needs to create a good looking entry without needing any knowlegde of html. Yep, i am gonna enjoy my stay at Vox!
What is happening in the world of logis? Beside work not much since the last two weeks of july i have to work six days instead of five days a week. Not that i mind since for those saterdays i have to work i get a free day which i can take whenever i want. Anyway, from 31 july until 24 august i will have a well earned vacation.
The first week of that vacation (august 2 until august 11 i will be playing in the international chess tournament of Vlissingen, Netherlands. I am looking forward, hoping, to get a good result. I cross my fingers that my preparation will be a step in the right direction to do what i hope for. I can hardly wait to start playing at the tournament. 2 august can't come quickly enough.
The rest of the vacation i will be doing nothing. Those last two weeks of my vacation i will be competing for the title of the most lazy guy that walks this planet. The gold medalion can't escape me. So forgive me if i don't comment on your blogs and don't post an entry during those three weeks. I will be busy with chess and doing nothing.
The bullet is thru the church, my mind is made up. Vox won with an overwhelming lenght the competition over wordpress. From now on on i will put my eggs here to hatch and to nurise. Now let us hope that vox doesn't go suddenly around the corner to die slowly.
The dead of Modblog was painfull, the infection of EFX2 was horrible, the being a ghost EFX2blogs a nightmare. So please dear vox, please live long and prosper! I doubt that i will survive another dead.
