http://www.nufland.com/personal/mm/blog A blog about various interesting things Mon, 02 Aug 2010 12:04:31 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I updated the blog software as the previous one stopped working. I think I screwed something up, because now there's funny letters all over the previous posts (Something to do with the coding? Now it's utf8, no idea what it was previously.). http://www.nufland.com/personal/mm/blog/?p=156 Here's some pictures of the house. Hover over a picture to get title, click to get description. [gallery] http://www.nufland.com/personal/mm/blog/?p=129 There is something sad that happened. Tanttu, our beautiful turtle died. That put off things a bit. We made a nice coffin of 100-year-old wood and a gravestone with copper plate on it. She was 20 years old. We noticed one day that she was breathing heavily. Only one week ... http://www.nufland.com/personal/mm/blog/?p=113 Hello, it's Liisa, the wife, blogging for the first time. It's been two months now living in our home. We even got a number for the house as it was just addressed as "previously the School". And our own mailbox often storing a postcard or two thanks to my postcrossing hobby ... http://www.nufland.com/personal/mm/blog/?p=110 Things are a bit crowded at my present living place.

In the evenings I'm too tired to do anything - ... http://www.nufland.com/personal/mm/blog/?p=107 I've owned a tractor for about nine months now. It's the little old grey Ferguson -54, whose exciting story of acquiring I've written about earlier. First I made a snowplow for it.

The bastard had eaten the chocolate and gave ... http://www.nufland.com/personal/mm/blog/?p=95 An electric drill can be used to make lifts on a construction site. My father made a lift which we used to haul roofing bricks on my parent's house's roof and I made a similar lift for the school which I'm renovating (see earlier posts). It had a ramp, at the top of which there was an electric ... http://www.nufland.com/personal/mm/blog/?p=93 Tietokone on kone, joka käsittelee tietojen mukaan luettelon ohjeita.

Varhaiset elektroniset tietokoneet olivat kooltaan suuri huone, kuluttavat niin paljon valtaa kuin useita satoja nykyaikaisen henkilökohtaisia tietokoneita.
