My beloved JVC GR-D73E stopped working! I really enjoyed having and using this beautiful machine. It was a compact, capable, elegant, well made piece of technology.It had captured so many happy family moments, it was with us in many key events in my family’s life.

Hello, I have installed a new certificate to my domain. Now you can visit the site using https: instead of http: protocol. I am using the free letsencrypt service. Edit 6-March: I am trying to enforce https protocol for all connections. Let’s see if there will be any problems… Have fun, Theodore
This post title may confuse my readers of Greek origin, as there are at least three meanings that pop up in mind when trying to make sense of the title word.

Στην πραγματικότητα δε θέλω να μιλήσω γενικά για τον Χρόνο, ένα τέτοιο post δε θα μπορούσε να ήταν ποτέ σύντομο και περιεκτικό, όπως μου αρέσει. Είναι ωραίος τίτλος όμως. Θέλω να μιλήσω για τον χρόνο που πέρασε από πάνω μου ή εγώ από μέσα του, ή συμβαίνει ενώ υπάρχω, ή τέλος πάντων… Ήταν τα γενέθλιά μου στις 21 και πολύς […]
I just made this banner image for my home page slider with inkscape. I like this software, it has saved the day more than once for me.

I just wanted to share my excitement for upgrading the night before yesterday my PC, from opensuse 12.2 that I had for ages, to opensuse tumbleweed 20150107. I did it from the network and everything went smoothly! I was so optimistic (or desperate) that I started the procedure and then I went to sleep. The next day I waked up, […]

Like Everything wanted to pass an important milestone and Everything was looking to me for a helping hand. As for me, I was mostly spending time with my […]
