Gremlins
Today I went early in the morning to
our Church (The Holy Trinity). With uncle Kolio who happens to be
an orthodox Christian poems writer and is quite a literate person
in general. On this church service I took the sacraments and
bringed the holy cross in front of the priest and spend some time
observing the priest serving in front of the Crucifix in the altar.
Tisho a friend of mine was also with me and after the church
service we walked together with uncle Koicho to his home.
Afterwards Tisho was my guest at home and I transfered him some of
my sis mp3s, before that we had a great dinner (my mother had
prepared some fried potatoes and fried pan meet, just great!). I
ate much more than I can swallow and now I have a bit of stomach
aches, probably a consequence of my over ating, not to mention that
earlier I bought and devored a pizza. In the afternoon I went to a
underware retailer (a friend of my dad), to fix his computer I had
to replace his power supply, the fan of the CPS was stalled. I
bought a CPS from bergon where it happened that the salesman was an
old friend of mine, we had a small chat, etc. Then I went to the
retailer shop and fixed the machine it took me like 4 and a half
hours. Now I have to meet Nomen infront of the Young House for a
fast coffee. Thanks to the Lord the day was peaceful in general.
P.S. Today we celebrate the orthodox feast of St. Paul and St.
Peter. Greetings to everybody out named after Paul and Peter.

The Celebration of the feast of the temple Holy Trinity
Just few weeks ago it was the feast
of our temple here in Dobrich the holy trinity.
For this event a lot of priests either from Dobrich and the district as well as the Metropolit Kiril of Varna.
Father Veliko has insisted to ordain me with a church rank.
The church rank I received grants me oportunity to enter the holy altar and help in the church services (the holy liturgies).
My sister has captured a couple of snapshots both video and pictures the pictures I've upload and can be seen

1966 Andrei Rublev
I've watched an interesting Russian
movie from 1966.
The movie's called Andrei Rublev. For your information Andrei Rublev is the painter who painted
for a first time the icon of the Holy Trinity and is one of the gratest orthodox iconographs for all times.
More about him could be seen in wikipedia or simply check
here . Apart from this I'm bored this days.

Back Home again
We successfully traveled back from
the Netherlands with my father's car. The whole trip lasted for
around 33 hours. It's pretty cool to travel with car even though
that such a long travels are quite exhausting. In our way we
stopped in a fuel station in Hungary. Romania is really wonderful
this people have a church in almost every living place no matter
village, town or a city. What is even better is that their faith is
they're orthodox christians just like us bulgarians the only
difference is that they have a church services in romanian (latin
letters). We were lucky and obviously God has guided us throught
our travel. On a couple of times without his help we surely won't
be able to avoid a car crash. We almost got hit by a track ... The
time in the Netherlands wasn't bad at all. Sali and his wife Mimi
were quite welcoming as always. We stayed there for 7 days I
believe. During our stay there we went to the car market in Utrecht
as well as to another market extra cheap market in Essen (Germany)
mostly consisting of techniques second hand. I've felt more
confortable in Germany than in the Netherlands. We also spend a
nice time with Minko Sali and Mimi's young son in a children park.
My higher education is going nowhere again which for me is pretty
normal I guess. I've had a small chat with Frank Vonk in Wednesday
for an hour and his arrogant behaviour and his attempts to convince
me that my faith is something withholding me and influencing me
badly and his attempts to convince me that my faith in Christ is in
vain because there is no God and I'm manipulating myself was
ridiculuous. After all it's even funny how God has granted him so
much and the guy couldn't appreciate. I went for a talk with him to
know more about what are my options to continue my study,
apperantly the teachers don't want me there. Most probably because
they know that I know that the things happening in school and being
"tought" are a sick experiments and ideas inspired by scientology
and other sick psychological literature, one example for that is
the works of Eric Bernst, Karpman's drama triangle and a couple of
other methods dealing with Neuro Linguistic Programming which by
the way is quite related to scientology. What is really nice is
that my parents are not angry at me for the fact that I might be
not able to complete my studies and do realize that my personal
well being is a way more important than a higher education diploma.
By the way when we were traveling in Romania we stopped for a rest
on a place with a nice springing water somewhere in the middle of
the Carpathian Mountains. By the way this place is really scary,
this time by God's grace there wasn't much traffic and we didn't
experienced complications by the heavy traffic. Right at the moment
my mom invited me for a dinner and I'm listening to Larry Norman
I thank
God for everything !

Successfully moved my blog to the new pc-freak :)
I've successfully moved my blog from
the old pc-freak machine that served well for 12 wonderful years!
The old machine was Pentium 166 overclocked to 190 mhz with 160 mb
of memory and 2.5 GB hard drive (samsung) as well as another hdd
with a capacity of 3.2 GB. The machine was happily running apache,
exim, pop3 server, tor server, X with a wmaker occasionally, an
eggdrop, wu-ftp server, telnet server, ssh, well that's mostly I
might be missing something. It was a miracle that this machine has
been running for this long time. This machine was used as a primary
source for my experiments with ipchains, iptables, kernel
compilation, testing linux and other various operating systems as
well as using it as a place to gather with friends. It also has
served well as a primary shell access machine for friends. The
machine had been running Debian linux without a problem for all
this time. I've successfully moved most of the stuff from that old
machine to the new one on which I'm blogging this post is running
1.6 ghz pentium machine with 512mb of memory and 80 gb hard drive.
I've decided to migrate the old pc-freak machine from debian gnu
linux to freebsd. Currently the new machine is happily running
FreeBSD 7.2, most of the stuff contained on the old machine is
migrated including the user directories and passwords. The tutorial
I used throughout the migration of the users between the linux and
freebsd was the one located in the freebsd list that could be red
here .
