All the trips I've taken over the years. Some far, some near.

In September I went to Belgium to work in a Google datacenter, near Mons, for two weeks. I took the opportunity and used the three weekends to wander around and visit a lot of places, including three capitals: Brussels, Amsterdam and Paris (hence the title of

Alcatraz, where my childhood favorite movie was set, The Rock After a week in New York and another one in hot, humid Richmond, where I had a very blessed time due to who was there, I finally arrived to the official destination of my trip: Mountain View,

The Big Apple. New York. The greatest city in the world, as every tour guide in the city will tell you every 5 minutes. I went for a business trip to the USA, to Mountain View, California, but before that I took two weeks of vacation: one in New York

A month ago there was the first ever SRECon in Europe. It got together lots of SRE-like engineers (basically the people who are responsible for the software that is live, running in production) from Google (the host of the event), Facebook, Etsy, Splunk, SoundCloud and others. Because

I was oncall the week that ended in the long weekend of the 1st of May. It was a rainy weekend and I had to stay inside the house, during my shift, but because it was rainy, it wasn't very tempting to go outside even after it. So

On my second day in Geneva, after waking up quite late, Cipri, Alexandra and I went to the Geneva International Inventions Exhibition. It is quite large exhibition, having 790 inventions, from 45 countries, displayed on 8900 m^2 surface. It wasn't entirely what I

Last weekend I went to Geneva, to visit Ciprian, a friend who is doing an internship at CERN. He also happens to be a frequent reader of my blog :D. Before joining the dark computer science side, I was a wannabe physicist. I went to lots of physics compe

During the Catholic Easter holidays, I went to Romania for a one week visit. Initially the plan was that my parents would come and visit me, but I had more days off, so I ended up coming to my homeland. After having been in Switzerland for 7 months now,

Săptămâna trecută am avut pentru prima oară ocazia să merg la Tulcea și în Delta Dunării. And it was awesome. Tot mai mult îs convins că România îi o țară faină (din punct de vedere geografic). Pe Deltă am mers cu o barcă închiriată de la Amatour, timp de 8

Dacă tot sunt la modă filmele care prezintă originile personajelor (mai ales din superhero comics), am decis să vizitez și eu satul bunicilor mei (de pe linia maternă), Benești din județul Sibiu. Am mai fost acolo... acum vreo 15 ani, dar pe atunci nu aveam nici blog și
trips
Ca aproape în fiecare an, și vara aceasta am venit la bunicii mei din Sibiu. Cum deja de 19 ani tot vin aici, I'm not really impressed by the city anymore (deși, da, probabil este printre cele mai bine amenajate orașe istorice din țară, maybe datorită primarului „sas”

Weekendul acesta am fost în Polonia, într-o excursie organizată de profa de istorie. Elevii au fost doar jumate din participanți, restul fiind profesori și partenerii lor de viață. Plecarea a fost sâmbătă la 2:45. Am lua decizia genială de a sta treaz până atunci, zicând că
