Tja - da hab ich also zwei wunderbare Kinder. 3 und 5 Jahre alt. Ein Quell ständiger Freude. Das Ende meiner Nerven. Die Ursache meiner grauen Haare. Aber ab und zu darf man die Perlen des Elternseins erleben… Mein Sohn übt im Kindergarten das Theaterstück: “Schneewittchen”. Er wird einen der sieben Zwerge spielen. Als ich ihn fragte, wie ihm das Stück gefalle, sagt er sinngemäss: “Das Stück ist blöd und dann bin ich traurig”. Ich hab ihn gefragt wieso er denn traurig sei.

I’ve had a Barix Exstreamer for quite a while. It has been sitting in my bedroom, mostly not playing. One of the reasons was the the server software (zServer) that Barix provides isn’t quite to my liking. Barix has since made zServer open-source and I have started to work on it (something that unfortunately I don’t have too much time for at the moment).
