Upgrading the homenetwork

In search for new storage space I opted for a NAS (Network Attached Storage) solution with the LaCie Ethernetdisk Mini 250GB. It is both a USB Drive and network drive but not together at the same time. As I wanted a dedicated network drive I formatted the drive to the linux filesystem format, which makes removes the possibility to use it as a USB drive. In hindsight I should have kept it to FAT32, as it faster to initially transfer your files through USB. It took me a day to move my files over the network. I am also not content with the noise of the drive. The main reason for using a NAS is to have my files available for all my computers without the need for a noisy server being on all the time.

I finally got the confirmation that my MyAdsl account will be cancelled next month, so I am free to make use of the Surfsnel offer: 10Mb downstream, 1Mb upstream for just 27,95 euros. Just one of the benefits of being a student again.

Vakantiebeurs

We went to the vakantiebeurs as a first step in planning our trip to Indonesia. We got a lot of brochures and talked with some of the specialized travel agencies.
We now have a more clear idea about the trip: we start in west java, near Jakarta and travel to the east up until Yogyakarta and Solo. Then we take some time to learn more about our ancestry and our wedding rituals and buy our wedding costumes. And finally we move on to Bali to relax at the beach.
