I had a bad day

I didn´t wrote an article yesterday and this morning , albeit there was much to report. For example the Q-Layer acquisition. Or about the new IPMP in Opensolaris as a part of the Clearview project. But i´m really frustrated at the moment ... disappointed by the mankind.

As i wrote before, i visited my parents at christmas and friends for new years eve in a city nearby. As i prefered to travel by train i asked my brother to take my luggage by car. So far no problem. But on his journey a thief targeted his car (we don´t know when, why, where, we suspect on a rest stop). The consequence: A trolley with clothes (an expensive shirts and my best pair of shoes away, rest wasn´t that expensive) and my CEC2007 backpack was stolen from the luggage compartment. The real neckbreaker was the bag: 1 Wii, 2 Wiimotes, 3 games, 2 Nunchuks ... damage round about 400 Euro. Interestingly they left the balance board in the car. 2 minutes later a shock hit me as i remembered that i´ve put my camera in this bag as well: A Canon 40D, a wide-angle (stabilized - read: expensive) and n tele-photo (stabilized - read: expensive) lens, one tele-converter stolen. At the end all the stolen parts have an summarized value of .. well ... round about 3000 Euros. I hope you understand, i wasn´t in the mood to blog yesterday. BTW: It´s really disturbing, that there weren´t any signs of a break-in at the car except of a sluggish lock.

Dear thief, i hope the stroke will hit you while sitting on the toilet and the curse of everlasting stinking socks may hit your family for the rest of time. I hate you!

But to see the good things in the disaster: I thought about switching to Nikon ... now i can do the switch ... all left from my DSLR are two inexpensive primes. I´m glad that i postponed the switch to the L-class lenses again and again...
