    Reading Time: 2 minutesIt often rains for the entire rain of Caribana and this makes me happy. It makes me happy because when I complained to them about their noise pollution two or three years ago they gave me a boiler plate answer instead of doing something about it. I am currently staying away from…

    Reading Time: 2 minutesI find that GoSocial and Meetup are great social networks. It’s an easy way of finding people to do things with, every single weekend. It means that rather than sitting in bars, listening to people talk, hoping for a fun activity, that is not drinking, to be mentioned, you can find a…

    Reading Time: 2 minutesAt the moment I can watch people walking on a roof. They placed ladders but I often saw them walk without ropes or safety nets. If they slipped then they would fall two floors. I felt fear twice when watching them, but not because of the risk of a fall. I feared…

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteWhen you live in town you have a lot of noise. You have the noise of cars, of construction, of buses, trucks and road sweeps. You also have the occasional people shouting, beeping and more. Logically this should make sleeping in town harder. It’s so constant that it’s like the sound…

    Reading Time: 2 minutesAs the title indicates I’ve upgraded to the new version of WordPress and I’m trying it now. I’ll have to see what the great features are in this version.
