There is nothing happened I was just to busy with new server setup. The YWAM base where I'm working as a webmaster, decided to change the server where our site was hosted. If you followed the previous posts you can see what I mean. The site that we are running on this server, grew really big, and consumes a lot of resources, so, I had to setup new server in such a way that most of resources would be given to the website and not to something else that we are not even using.

Any way, now everything is pretty much setup and I just need to watch it on the topic of resource consumption.
About ourselves:
Irina is busy with the kids most of the days during a week. It is not so easy, and I let her rest a little during weekend. There are no cake orders now and Irina is a little bored, she really enjoys making cakes but if only me who will be "ordering" them I might end up with diabetes, so, we are patiently waiting for the special orders.

Stefan is in the age when the one asks a lot of questions. He asks a question and then corrects us if we didnt reply the same way as the previous time. He remembers by heart most of the books that we have in our kids library and sometimes he corrects me if I didnt read something properly.
Matvej is trying to start scrolling but not very successful yet - he pushes himself backwards instead forward and often end up falling on the side. It is very difficult to keep him in one place now. He loves Stefan and has a lot of fun when Stefan jumps around him (Stefan also has quite some fun then.

As you can see we are doing good and hoping to visit Russia in this summer. We already got tickets and now the only thing is we need to prepare ourselves (packing and stuff).

Today I have noticed that I'm slowly dropping taking care of our website. The reason is the same as always-no time for it or not enough time. Well, tihis is something to change in myself.

Since I cannot find the time and topic to write about I see that the best thing whould be to describe our day today.
As you know from one of my previous articles I'm working hard how to prepare our site (I mean ywanirestehas.se) to be moved to another server. During this preparation I tried to install and setup webserver on local machine. After repeating the same setup for as many times as I can't count anymore I can surely say that now I can do this job. AndJ this is one more thing for my skills profile. So, that was what I was doing all day today and all week before.
Irina has found 9 hobby - she likes to make beautiful cakes, she decorates them so nicely and creatirally that I dont dare to eat or even cut their after all. I think she will write about this hobby by herself as well as put some of the pictures.
Stefan continue to learn english, right how he practices word "No". Fle is definately grows fast and now very oftenvery often he doesnt want to do what you asking him to and more and more often he doest want to pray. This is actually sad for me but I know tha he has to do it with his will. Today Stefan was very long outside with mommy. The wheather is good and it smells with the spring.
Matvej was upset with somethihg most of the day but also hosed some fun when daddy came home from the Office.

"ham radio" refers to amateur radio in general. Amateur radio is hobby that thousands of people involved around the globe. Amateur radio opertors enjoy international communication with the same operators via wireless devices called transceiver. Basically this is short wave communicational hobby. You probably had shortwave radio some time in your life and probably tried to surf radio waves with searching your favorite station, and if you did, quite often you could "catch" something weird out there, like a morse code sound or some voices repeating some meaningless numbers and names. Well, those letters are no as meaningless as you might think at first. Most likely you heard ham radio operator speaking out his call sign (radio identification) inviting others for conversation.
I decided to tell more about this since this is my long time hobby. I started to listen to those call sings somewhere in the middle of 1980-s and even had my operational call sign, but did use it often, because at that time I had not much money and couldnt afford to keep license and transceiver. Now-a-days I returned to that hobby but in a little different form - I'm Short Wave Listener (SWL) The difference between operator and listener is that listener can only listen to the speaking operators and doesnt have right to use transmitter. Operator has license for using certain frequencies to transmit his signal and thus actually communicate with others.
What is the interest in such hobby, you might ask? I can compare this hobby with sport fishing. You seat with the rod in your hands during fishing, and you seat with your radio trying to catch far away station (DX). You need certain skills in fishing to catch the fish you aim to. The same with radio, you need good receiver, antenna, weather condition, propagation. There are a lot of Internet resources with required information about above conditions, but you still need a lot of luck to get some calls in your log book. That is the thing: you not simply listen to someone speaking on the air, you also record his call sign, time, frequency, conditions, and then you send operator a card with this information and he replies with his confirmation card to you. You can see my card at the left side.
Ok, you get a card from somebody - what is next? if you collect number of cards you may apply for diploma in different areas. Example? I have heard and received cards from Trinidad and Tobago, from Turkmenistan, from Luxemburg, from South Africa, from Canada, from Argentina, from Tasmania, and now, I have right to apply for diploma called "Heard All Continents" Another example? I have collected cards from operators from 64 different countries of the world I can apply for 50 Countries award, but I will wait till I have 100 countries confirmed.
The thing is that when I hear somebody speaking on the air, say from Cambodia, I know that there is nothing between my radio and Cambodian transmitter, no other wires, no repeaters, NOTHING! Just a little box of transceiver and a few dozens of meters of antenna. Isnt it exciting?
Besides listening and getting cards, I also participate international Listener's club called SWARL and I'm taking care of the Awards for listeners issued by this club. I also do a lot of design work for the diplomas and awards for the club. My developer skills are also used in full here, I'm working on the logger software (software for recording listening results).
If you are interested to know more about this hobby try to google for "ham radio"you will get a lot of visual information on youtube.com as well as some articles on wikipedia.com or you can write to me and ask questions. My email is www[at]body-builders.org

This is prayer of request and prayer of thanksgiving. For last a few days, Stefan got very sick - ear infection again. This time he couldnt move himself and would scream when we tried to help him. But... thanks God for antibiotics, he is doing better now. While he was sick Irina also got a little problem - she scratched her finger and it got blue after two days. I have never seen such color of human body before and hope to not see it again. We tried many things but I believe that prayer was the main medicine, and today the liquid from the finger came out and Irina feels better now. Thank The Lord for His healing actions.
