Hosting and domain just for you

I have registered resellesr's plan on one of the major distributors of domain registry. I didnt encrease price very much so, my domain names are actually cheaper that other's There are quite a few discounts available, as well as two (at the moment) unlimited hosting (cpanel) plans - windows and linux based. The site originally was designed for those in ham radio hobby, that is reflected on logotype and name, but of course, hosting is hosting, and domains are domains, anyone can get them. You can also start your own reselling plan. Looking forward to see you at hamhost.eu.

Samsung Galaxy S - An Impressive Alternative To Android Smartphones

My beloved wife gave me a very special present - nice new phone Samsung Galaxy S. There was a little problem with the phone though, and I have to wait for replacement, but otherwise the phone is awesome, thank you Irochka!

Here is a little description of the phone (not mine though)

Already receiving rave reviews online, many of which hail it as an “iPhone beater”, the Samsung Galaxy S has some seriously impressive features at its disposal.

Boasting the versatility of the Android OS (v2.1) backed up by a 1 GHz processor, this touchscreen smartphone is the epitome of what is available to consumers when choosing a new smartphone.

Our first car

 After all years of carless life we finally got our first family car. This was a necessity of life here since we really live far away from shops and outer world in general, so this car is something that we needed for a long period of time. 

Thank you for all your prayers since we were asking for prayers about car a few times and now see the respond. The car is not used too often at the moment - neither of us have driver license, but Irina is studying right now and I really hope that she will get license soon. So far she is training here on the base, training her weaknesses as parking, and just using to the idea of driving car. Stefan and Matvej are loving this car and they would probably sleep in it if they could.

Thank You Lord for this car!

Ride without training wheels

 Yesterday Stefan saw another boy of about his age riding a bike without training wheels. Right after this event he sayed - "I can", and the same day at the evening we have removed training wheels from Stefans bike, and he "can" indeed! I was excited together with Stefan and somewhere even more than him, because I started without training wheels when I was almost 6 years old but Stefan is 4 now! 

Great job my son!

My new phone

 I have mentioned before that I've got nice HP iPAQ 614c smartphone last year but my friend, who has got the same one, inspired me to sell it and thus exchange it for something with Open Sourced OS, like Android phone. So, we started to sell our phones and guess what, I sold mine but my friend couldnt. Well, since I sold the old phone I wanted a replacement soon and here we go - last week I've got nice T-Mobile pulse with android in it. From far away this device looks like it is iPhone, but it is not and this makes me happy. The phone has excellent characteristics for my need and 16GB memory card with it. Praise The Lord for provision! 

Our Finances

A few times already we asked for prayer for our finances and this is yet another time - For life in Sweden as a family of four, we need to have at least 10000 SEK which is around 900 EUR. This is not much and is not for luxury but for normal food/cloth/rent needs. We have now about half of those money and would like to raise more.

Here is our base December newsletter.

Dear friends,

I hope all is well with you.

How are you, and what are you learning? A friend of mine asked me this question recently. It provoked me (and maybe you too) to think and reflect. So, what am I learning?

 

I am learning that good, sound structure comes from the presence of God, and exists to facilitate life. I am learning that growth happens at the grass root’s level and at the edges (not the top nor the centre). I am learning to let go of control and allow room for mistakes, because without failed attempts we will not be able to perfect or develop. And, I am learning to release young, inexperienced leaders to lead, since leaders become leaders by leading.

 

Mac is just a computer

I have got old Apple Mac eMac computer and digging it up now. It is definately faster than my Pentium 3 from the dump place but I have to live with the older software. I can port a few programs that I used to use from Linux, but whenever I dig more into the mac, I wish it would be Linux. The machine has PowerPC CPU and that means there is no way to run windows software on it. I'm also disappointed with strictness of this machine, e.g. If it decides that my keyboard is European type there is no easy way to cheat it to US keyboard.It also has limited number of free software for it, and a lot of software designed for next generation of os x.

However, there are some positive things - first of all it boots up way faster, second UI looks pretty even though it is not as powerfull as my office desktop.

So, my conclusion - it is good machine for dayly simple tasks. Kind of large calculator. It is not suitable though for development needs and for users who likes to experiment.
