| Testing a new Mailserver |
I'm currently setting up a new anti-spam/anti-virus server. Therefore I have the chance to use a completely new domain to make a test...
I wonder how many spam mails I will get within the next hours and days when I now write the following e-mail address to a public blog:
paul@openair-kinos.ch
Now come here, all you spam-bots outside! :-)) |
| New mobile phone - a difficult decision |
Since the breakdown of my old SonyEricsson V800 in 2007, I have been using a Qtek 9000, a huge stone called Smartphone with a Windows Mobile 2003 Edition on it. It has been in my pocket for the last 6 years and it has been running since then. But time goes on and newer/better/faster phones are available.
For the last two months I have been thinking about doing what everybody does and buy an iPhone. Or do something new and choose an Android phone. My decision was leaning towards the HTC Magic which is using the Android platform but last week, Apple announced the new iPhone 3Gs (Speed) with video, faster OS and other small improvements.
iPhone 3Gs Pro and Contras
++ Easy to use
++ Many satisfied other customers (proven in business)
++ Multi-Touch
++ Huge internal disk (16GB for the one I am interested)
++ A huge list of applications to install from AppStore
-- Only one application open (lying in front of the others)
-- Dependent on Apple's will
-- U must use iTunes
-- No SSH client (you have to "jailbreak" the iPhone)
-- Almost everybody has it
...
HTC Magic Pro and Contras
++ A new phone
++ Open-Source OS
++ AppStore which is getting more and more apps
++ Almost everything configurable
-- Small disk (512MB only, possibility to insert memory cards)
-- No 3.5mm audio plug!!! aahh!
-- No video
-- Dependent on Google (at least in some functions)
Today I have gotten the news that Samsung is releasing its own Android phone: The Samsung i7500 Galaxy. And this is the real iPhone challenger! Check this out:
Samsung Galaxy Pros and Contras
++ 8GB internal memory and possibility to insert memory cards
++ Video
++ 3.5mm standard audio plug
So everything what I thought "what a shit" done by HTC Magic will be improved with the Samsung Galaxy.
My choice is made! ^^ |
| Ready for the new challenge! |
| I've recently decided to move on with my current job situation. In the past months I was unfortunately almost not able to work with Linux or OpenSource products - something what my "business heart" is beating for and I think is very important in the IT industry. To not lose my knowledge I was working hard for in the past years I decided to move on and quit my job (that was in march). Tomorrow, 1st of may 2009, I will start my new position as Linux Engineer in an internationally well recognized trading company. There will be way more responsibilities lying on my shoulders but I am ready for it! Wish me luck and success. |
| Funny support call! |
This week I'm on call service, that means, in case of questions or problem I must answer the phone calls starting at 6pm and ending 8am. Usually it is quiet. But this morning at 7.45am I received a call. Here's the call log:
> Hello, this is Claudio from the IT.
- Yes, hello. I have a problem with my computer. I did not shut it down yesterday because someone had to create a subfolder with my 10'000 mails. Now it is not working anymore!
> OK, what is not working anymore? What do you see on your screen?
- Everything is black and there's a yellow thing moving around.
> *thinking: this must be the screensaver!* I think your screensaver is active. Did you already press a key on your keyboard?
- No.
> Could you please press a button on the keyboard?
- Ah! Now it looks normal again! Thank you!
This is not a joke, this is really what happened this morning! It's 2009 and there's still people out there who don't know screensavers. That's my personal lesson today =). |
| Windows 7 - the second try and a love story (?) |
So here's now an update to the history of the Windows 7 Beta installation which crashed (see the last blog entry).
The failed installation was actually caused by a defect DVD which I've received from a Microsoft employee. It was an original Beta DVD, not a copy, so I thought "that must work".
I've now downloaded the Iso-file and burnt a completely new DVD and installed Windows 7... with the following results:
- Installation was VERY easy and fast. After 30mins my system was complete and I could log myself in.
- The boot of the computer takes 35seconds until the logon screen appears. After the logon it took another 12 seconds until the system was ready and was not loading apps anymore. It is fast but of course the machine is empty.
- The installation of Firefox took 5 seconds - compared to a new installed Windows XP that is rapidly faster!
- The mix between shortcut icon and open program is a thing to adapt but it is a step into the good direction, it is better for the overview to not have an endless list of open programs in the task list.
- On my main pc (Windows XP) I shared the WLAN-Connection. Windows 7 made a search in the network and explored, that my main pc is now a "Residential Gateway Device". I was surprised, that this would be discovered automatically.
- The automatic change of desktop wallpapers is a gadget but nice :).
- The Control Panel has a good overview and is loaded really quickly (compared to Vista's really long listing).
So now I have to explore it a bit more. So far I can say that: I like it. It's a nice one this time! |
| Testing Windows 7 - how? |
Tonight I've told myself: Let's test Windows 7! I've recently received the Windows 7 Beta from a Microsoft seller and thought, oh well, let's give it a try.
But how the heck am I supposed to test it when it won't install?!!! After 50% of expanding installation files, I receive an error:
Install Windows
Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for an installation are available, and restart the installation.
Error code: 0x80070570
Oh great! I've of course redone the installation with the same result. And it is an official Microsoft Beta DVD, not just a downloaded version... Nice start! |
| I've refound my favourite childhood movies! |
When I was young (around 6-8 years) I have seen some movies which stayed in my memories. Without ever knowing what movies they were. Today I finally started my research - with success! Thanks to Internet and the good combination of keywords I've finally found the names of these movies!
The Computer wore Tennis shoes (1969)
One of my favourite movies when I was a kid. Pretty difficult to find this one!
The only thing I remembered of this movie was, that a boy got an electro shock when touching a computer and somehow all the data information of this computer got in his brain. He then won several knowledge quizzes. The movie was from Walt Disney.
I've found the next three movies through the list of Disney feature films on Wikipedia.
The Cat from outer Space (1978)
This was pretty easy to find since there are not too many movies with a cat from outer space ;-)
Flight of the Navigator (1986)
I've had nightmares of this movie! I still remember this one scene when the boy is in the ocean and there is this huge fish trying to bite him..
The Watcher in the Woods (1980)
And now to the scariest movie Disney probably ever made! When I saw this one, I could not sleep for one week and I was horribly scared of other dimensions. Although it is in my eyes nothing for kids, it's a Disney movie and it stayed in my thoughts until now. So it must have been impressive!
There is one movie missing though and I never found the title of this movie. So if anyone could help out, I'd be glad! What I remember is that at the begin of the movie, there are robots attacking the earth. There are two different spacecrafts to evacuate and a couple is supposed to take two different spacecrafts. After the start one of these blow up. After this scene I think I had to rush to bed because my parents came home - but I still want to finish that movie in my lifetime! :) |
| How to use wired LAN and WLAN without problems |
The network installation in my apartment is not the easiest one to describe... Due to a really bad planned power and phone line architecture in this building of the 70's, I was forced to set up two different networks: A wired one for the printer and a NAS device and a wireless LAN for accessing the Internet. The problem: The wired LAN has a higher priority to connect to foreign networks so whenever I plugged the network cable, I got disconnected from Internet by WLAN.
A solution, how to use both networks at the same time without being disconnected can now be found in this new How To: Use both wired LAN and WLAN connection and use WLAN for Internet Access. |
| VMware problem "ESX server cannot open the virtual disk for clustering" |
Today I ran into a VMware problem. When using shared virtual disks between two (or more) VM's and you want to increase the size of a shared disk, the VM's will not boot anymore. You get an error message which starts like this:
Vmware ESX server cannot open the virtual disk "vmfs/volumes/.../vm1/vm1_2.vmdk" for clustering
I made a workaround to solve that problem. You will find that in the Howto: Error on boot of VM: ESX server cannot open the virtual disk for clustering. |
| The calmness before the violations (Anti WEF) |
Yesterday was the official start of the 2009's World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos. And today, as I was waiting for the bus, I saw the following poster:
 
This poster shows without doubt what the demonstrators want to do: They want to crack the "glass of the rich", demolish it. As they announce, they want to gather in "rue de Mont-Blanc", next to all the very expensive shops and businesses. The intention seems clear: They want to break things.
In my opinion, this is once more the willingness of chaotics to vandalize something - the WEF is just a good excuse for a so called "demonstration". The spoiled Swiss youth doesn't know what to do - most of them don't even know what the WEF is doing. Surely, the WEF deserves skepticism but those people are just once more showing their disability to talk. |
| Danger in the Rush Hour! |
Yes indeed, the rush hour in the morning can be a dangerous thing! At least from what I saw this morning in Geneva's main station at 8.10am. What happened?
So the IR (Inter Regional) train arrives and several hundred people are taking the (way too!) tiny exit off the platforms. The people have to wait in front of the escalators because there is only one escalator going down - the other one is going up. When it is finally my turn I stand on the right hand side of it and taking the ride down. 2m before the end I suddenly see a woman who's got her shoe tie stuck in the escalator (as we see it usually with kids). Some men try to help her but the escalator is still running, so a bunch of people are crashing into the standing people in front. At this moment I just get trough and am able to watch the scene. I'm looking for a red "stop" or "emergency" button on the escalator, but don't see anything. A woman see's a button next to the escalator and pushes it. You'd never guess what happened! It stopped? No! The escalator doubled or almost tripled its speed! So a whole lot more people are even faster crashing into the crowd at the end. Fortunately in these seconds, a man could release the stuck tie of the woman and the crowd is falling forwards into the hall.
Have you ever seen an escalator without stop button? No? Then go to Geneva! |
| My part of Obama's Inauguration: A chocolate bar! |
Yes we can!
The USA finally got a president for whom actually people voted and not a bunch of republican judges. I've followed Barack Obama's race to the White House since the begin. It started with a thought "Hey, this guy is good!" which went on to hope "He could change America and the world!" which turned to fascination for this man, whose speeches are incredible, smart and full of emotions.
It is now two days ago, that Obama got sworn in as 44th president of the United States. The minutes the inauguration took place, I opened a big letter from my mother - surprise, there's a chocolate bar of Obama inside! At least that way I was a bit connected personally with the inauguration. Sweet!

| PHP 5.2.8 is out! hmmm... |
Yesterday I saw that PHP 5.2.8 was released - after last week's PHP 5.2.7 which was buggy if the magic_quotes were enabled. Oh well, that can happen. So now 5.2.8 is out and let's enjoy that! (enjoy = install, test it).
I have compiled PHP for I don't remember how many times so it's like sleepwalking to me. But yesterday it was different. What happened?
So I started the configure, followed by the make and of course the make install. At the end of the make install I got the following output on my shell session:
Wrote PEAR system config file at: /usr/etc/pear.conf
You may want to add: /usr/lib/php to your php.ini include_path
Installing PDO headers: /usr/include/php/ext/pdo/
Installing ZIP headers: /usr/include/php/ext/zip/lib
hmmm
hmmm
hmmm...? What does this hmmm mean? It's obviously a small bug according to the bug #46810 on bugs.php.net. It does not harm your PHP installation but still.. where does this "hmmm" come from? The comment of PHP Developer Jani explains it to us:
It's the braindead hack someone added for BC reasons. Pierre, it's your stuff that breaks here. Remove the crap from Makefile.frag and use the proper configure macro instead: PHP_INSTALL_HEADERS.
So that's it. In the next version, this "crap" will be removed. I love this comment! =) |
| Wrong latin1 Umlaut entries with phpMyAdmin 3.1.0 |
Last week I've received a mail from a customer complaining, that his MySQL entries are not correctly read out on his webpage (Umlaut problems, e.g. ä ü é). First I thought there is a problem with his website charset but nope, all is set to ISO-8859-1 (his website AND of course the MySQL DB/Table/Field).
He told me he does the entries not via a web form but direct via phpMyAdmin. I recently installed the latest version 3.1.0 so my guess was now, that there is a problem with this version.
After some testing with phpMyAdmin version 2.5.7-pl1, 2.11.9.3 and 3.1.0 I can now summarize this:
- 2.5.7-pl1: This old and outdated version shows the phpMyAdmin website with a standard HTML output of iso-8859-1. The Umlaut entries you do manually direct via phpMyAdmin are correct and can be read out without problems.
- 2.11.9.3: This is the newest phpMyAdmin 2 version. It shows the phpMyAdmin website with a standard HTML output of utf-8. The Umlaut entries you do manually direct via phpMyAdmin are correct and can be read out without problems (although it is done with utf-8!).
- 3.1.0: This is the newest phpMyAdmin 3 version. It shows the phpMyAdmin website with a standard HTML output of utf-8. The Umlaut entries you do manually direct via phpMyAdmin are NOT correct, the website and phpMyAdmin show some weird signes (ä instead of ä).
I've opened a thread in the German support forum of phpMyAdmin <- click. Until there is a resolution I suggest you use version 2.11.9.3 for manual inserts via phpMyAdmin on a latin1 DB. |
| Why I hate Blade servers |
In the past week I've been fighting 4 days with a HP blade server and there is no end of the story yet.
I've never liked the whole Blade idea, don't ask me why, I don't know it. But last week I got the confirmation to not like Blade systems. What happened?
First there was a server crash. A Blade server had a malfunctions and shut down. The power LED turned to red. So I call the support and instead of coming to us and repairing the server they want us to make a test with another enclosure. The next day the tech guy came and confirmed that there is a problem with the affected blade server. He took the server with him to replace the motherboard. The next day another tech guy comes by and we slide the blade into the enclosure - nothing happens. Oh! Now there is a problem with the enclosure! I got told we should reboot the whole enclosure - That means to shut down all the other blade servers as well.
Before we do that I decided to try to power up the blade server in another enclosure. The blade server powers automatically up in the other enclosure after like 15 seconds. Well, he almost powers up. The power and nic LED's are green, the disk LED stays inactive. Obviously, so I got told, there is a problem with the motherboard (again!) and a processor.
After 4 days of work we have now still 2 problems: The blade server is still down PLUS one enclosure is indicating a "Fault". Call me old-fashioned but I prefer the original use of a server with one purpose. You can still build a cluster between two different servers. If server #1 crashes, you still have server #2 in that case. But if you have a problem with the enclosure in a blade system, you risk to power off all your blade's in it. |
| Pictures of USA-trip 2008 online |
The snow has already melted but the cold stayed. What happens if you are outside in the cold wind waiting for a bus or a train? That's right: You're thinking of vacation.
So it was about time to upload the pictures of our vacations. It was kinda hard to only upload a few pictures - with two cameras we took around 800 pictures. Don't worry, you won't have to look through 800 pix, they're about 65.
So if you ever wanted to see some pictures made in Baltimore, Washington D.C., Philadelphia or New York - here's your chance.
You will find the gallery under Travelling->Baltimore/Washington D.C./Philadelphia/New York USA. |
| Snow! |
As of right now, while I am looking outside of the window, snow is still falling and by now roofs, lands and even streets are white. It looks like it's gonna snow the whole night so good luck for the traffic tomorrow :-/
It's the first time it really snows here this year and I wonder what kind of winter we will have this time. I suppose, this year it's gonna be freezing cold with a lot of snow. As long as my Mario Kart Wii works I don't care =).
Update monday morning: Something must have happened in the night. There was almost no snow anymore this morning, it was rather raining than snowing. But I saw that there's a lot of snow in the east of Switzerland where I lived before. So strange... |
| Changes in news/blog display |
If you read this, you already see the changes I have made yesterday of course. It's nothing big, the changes are simply more user friendly.
One thing I changed is the title of each blog entry. It appears now a bit bigger so it should be easier now to see where a new blog entry starts.
The second thing is a categorization of the blog entries. You are now able to select a category in the yellow highlighted row. The category you're interested in (e.g. Internet) will show all the blog entries with the topic Internet. |
| Google Mail (GMail) now with different themes (layouts) |
What a shock yesterday when I opened my Gmail account and everything was in blue! First I blamed my cat for probably having walked on my keyboard or attacked my mouse (computer mouse!) as he does that sometimes. But let's solve that.. my cat must have clicked something hehe.
I opened the settings and there was nothing to change the colors or the Gmail layout - and I didn't select anything in the labs to change the colors of my Inbox automatically.
 So I did a log out and after I logged myself in again there it was: A new feature has been enabled to use themes (different layouts) for your Gmail!
The one who has been set automatically (a dark blue one) sucks but there are really some nice ones!
Nice little gift from Google before the Christmas time, thanks! |
| VI Client can't create snapshots anymore |
Last week I ran into problems with a virtual machine to create snapshots, the buttons were simply disabled and the whole function to create snapshots seemed to be disappeared - only for this particular VM though.
After comparing the config files (vmx) of two different vm's, I figured out, it must be something with the VirtualHardware version number.
To solve this problem, just follow this howto.
Enjoy your weekend! |
| Asus EAH 2400 Pro shows videos in green - solved |
If you are someone out there who could only see green videos after installing an ASUS EAH 2400 Pro then you're helped with that now!
Under this HowTo I describe what you have to do to finally watch normal videos without a green layer again! It took me a while to figure that out... |
| The chance to prove your wiseness or stupidity |
Tuesday 4th of November 2008. Election Day.
Or, in other words: America's chance to prove that the American people learned from what happened 8 years ago and won't make the same mistake again.
The chance to prove "we learn from mistakes" or worse... to prove the stupidity of its citizens with voting for another George W. Bush (as a senator McCain voted 92% similar to Bush).
It's hard to admit but I put all my faith and hope into some million voters now. I still love the USA as a country but if its people vote again for the wrong guy.. gosh - I will think about it four times before I go visit this country next time.
Point. End. Go vote now! |
| Welcome to Switzerland, future! |
Finally future transportation systems (meanwhile old again) have made it to Switzerland. Yesterday was the public opening of the first subway in this country, called "M2" in Lausanne (in the French part of Switzerland).
Let's make a little history. The first subway (or métro) was opened 1863 in London and it still runs. The "tube" is 145 old! But let's be happy and celebrate - as yesterday some did with drinking champagne at 5.20am. Ewwah! But I have to admit, this transportation system is nice. It's way faster than the bus and you don't have to wait in the cold anymore. Plus: It looks nice (now! let's review that in 4 years again) and it gives you the feeling to finally be a part of the future.
Enough of words. Lets ride it!! |
| Cleanup Confixx after a server transfer |
Here's a little note to all of you out there who might be in a project transferring the contents of a webserver (Websites, EMails, and so on) to another webserver. The administration software is Confixx.
After the transfer we experienced the following problems:
- The customer vhosts had the wrong IP's. You can solve this problem when you update the IP addresses in the MySQL DB confixx in the tables "kunden" and "reseller".
- PHP Safe Mode is on. I'm currently still trying to get to know where this setting is coming from. As a temporary fix I set a httpd_special entry to every customer "PHP Safe Mode off".
- Some problems with the email settings of customers. But this is mainly clientside (except from 2 mail accounts which just didn't exist on the server - who know's why). |
| Update of Nagios Plugin check_mysql_slavestatus.sh |
| I've just received a mail from Søren Klintrup that he has made some modifications of the Nagios Check Plugin check_mysql_slavestatus.sh. Therefore the script is now updated here on the website as well as on NagiosExchange. Thank you for your work, Søren! |
| PHP make install on a Debian system with Apache 2 |
With the new Apache2 on a Debian etch system, there is a little hike to do when you try to use the command "make install" after your PHP compilation. The problem: The httpd.conf is empty and PHP's make install doesn't find the LoadModule directives anymore.
You will find a little workaround for that problem here. |
| Microsoft Data Access Components not compatible with XP SP3!! |
Hola@everybody!
This week I've found a weird behavior of a software. The goal was to import data from an excel (xls) file to a local installed database. When trying to import the excel file an error occurred with a missing ODBC driver.
So I tried to manually install the MDAC package to give the affected machine the needed ODBC drivers. It was then when I realized that the MDAC 2.8 software is not compatible with Windows XP Service Pack 3!!
So before you install SP3, be sure you're not going to use database software which needs an internal ODBC driver.
I sent a mail to the Microsoft guys but of course didn't hear anything. Let's hope they fix that. |
| What to do when your VMware VI Client is in German |
This week I updated my ESX servers to version 3.5 Update 2 (build 110268). There's obviously a strange bug occurring when you want to connect your VI Client to the just updated ESX server: The whole language of VI Client changed into German!
My Windows is German, yes, and the keyboard layout is set to German (Swiss) but it's still a bug when you can't change the language of VI Client anymore ;-).
How to get rid of that bug will be explained in the HowTo section. |
| Back from vacation and exciting last week |
What an awesome time we had on vacation! We were so lucky with the weather (except one day with tropical storm Hanna), the US-Dollar was pretty low when we exchanged the Swiss Francs and we were right in time for the Sales in the stores!
In case you wanna go to the USA too, here are some little rules, what you should do and what you shouldn't do:
Do's in the USA
Eat cheeseburgers, take a one-hour-boat-tour (Manhattan), go shopping in Outlet-Malls, order Papa John's pizza, use the water-taxi's in Baltimore, drink Fanta Orange (way better than our Swiss Fanta!), order a big beer in Hard Rock Cafe (you get the glass to take home).
Definitely Dont's in the USA
Using public transportation systems (it takes forever, the schedule is inaccurate and sometimes there isn't even a bus!), using the USA Rail Pass offer from Amtrak (you can only ride 4 times!), be in a motel where somebody opens the ceiling above you and looks into your bathroom, have a cab driver who can't read and doesn't know where you wanna go.
Additionally for today's post: It's my last week at my current employer! I've had such a good time here and I learnt so many things. Now it is time to move on... To get into the international business. What a weird feeling, to know I'm sitting the last week in my own office. Bye bye my own office - I won't have that at my new employer. I'm ready for this new challenge! Let's rock! Hehe :-)) |
| Computer = Style |
I just received the new DELL newsletter a few minutes ago and something cought my eye: The new Desktop system called Hybrid. Computer meets Style!
Respect, Dell! That's what I call a great innovation! |
| Firefox 3 crash when trying to play a Flash video |
A real quick productive but not really long blog entry this time. Today I had to mess around with Firefox 3 (don't understand me wrong, I love that browser) and some Flash videos which made the Fox crash all the time -> whenever the video/flash plugin was loaded.
If you have the same problem with certain flash animations or websites, you may want to check out the problem solving in the HowTo section.
Keep the fox alive! ;) |
| Hot times, summer in the city |
The heat those days remind me of one song, which I like lots by the way:
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' dirty-'n'-gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around people lookin' half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match-head
Cool - ah no, hot! - song!
But to be clear: I love this weather! I will complain in winter when it is cold again, right now I will just enjoy the sun and its warm weather!
During the last few months I was getting into the administration of Bluecoat Proxy Appliance. Because I myself was stuck with it sometimes, I wrote a HowTo for it. This HowTo explains how you can define file extension objects. Find it in the IT HOWTO'S section. |
| Actual project: Webserver Transfer |
Since my favourite two teams (Switzerland and Sweden) are now out of the Euro 2008 tournament, I can focus on my actual project. It is about transferring the content of two web servers to two different web servers. Sounds easy, but:
- Hundreds of domains have to be transferred to another name server. These nameservers will be installed on the same new servers. Of course those domains belong to customers and they have to change the nameservers of their domains. Time intensive thing and I am sure, not all of the customers know how to change the nameservers.
- 80GB of data has to be transferred through the internet to the new servers which are located in another datacenter.
- Operating system upgrade. The old servers were running on Debian 3.1 sarge, the new ones are running on Debian 4.0 etch.
- Recompile PHP and I will run into problems this time because the new servers are installed with the basic system only. So will have to install lots of packages until PHP gets to work.
- Installation and migration of Confixx will be done from a third party company since I don't really know Confixx in details.
- After all installations and data transfers, all domains in the nameservers have to be adjusted to the new ip's.
Let's begin! You will find more information when the project is finished in the "projects" page. |
| After the lost game... |
My good-mooded last entry BEFORE the game tells me, how many hopes I put into the EURO 2008 opening game Switzerland vs Czech Republic. Unfortunately, as most of you might have heard, the Czech's won 1-0.
Pictures of the way to the stadium, in the stadium and after the game can be found under travelling/Euro opening game.
For the next match tomorrow against Turkey there must be a victory, it's gonna be the last chance anyway.
Oh yeah: Congratulations to Netherlands for the unbelievable high score against Italy! |
| One day left and the game starts |
OK my friends: Tomorrow will be the day I have been looking forward to the last four years: The EURO 2008 Austria/Switzerland will start. And better than I ever imagined: I will be in the stadium! Huwahhhyeeahh!
Of course I will take pictures, of course I will show them here, of course I make you all jealous with that now ;-P.
Which nation is the best, who's gonna be Europe's best football nation? My hopes tell me Switzerland of course but that would be a huge surprise. I honestly think this year Portugal could do it. And it makes sense:
If Portugal wins Group A, they will most likely play against Germany in the quarter-final. If they win that quarter, they will most likely play against Croatia and after that in the final against France. Thats my presumption but life and the future cannot be seen in advance so we'll just see and enjoy! |
| UEFA Euro, I'm coming!! |
What a great day! At 8.15am it was already 25°C and at 10.12am my dad sends me a text message with the following content: "Wizard Merlin conjured us tickets!". Hurray!! I'm going officially to the Euro 2008! After already giving up the hope of getting a ticket into one of the matches in the stadiums, 9 days before the surprise is perfect!
And it's not just one game: It will be the opening game on saturday 7th of june in Basel: Switzerland vs. Czech Republic!
Euro, I'm coming! |
