A couple of weekends ago I accompanied M. on a hiking trip to Vremščica. It was a day trip with a choir she sings in. I occasionally tag along for company and not because of my (non existent) singing abilities. It has been a while since I went on such a trip with them. You can read about the last time before this, when I joined them on a trip to the land of Teran and pršut.

It was really good for us to finally meet our development team in person rather than Skype, Email and Yahoo Messanger!

Excellent news and well inline with our competitors results, actually a little bit quicker! Which the praise can only go to Gregor for building all the Java classes so efficien
